You gave very good advice. Both my children and I are Celiacs. It kills our ability to absorb many nutrients.

[wxgesr]

Dammitall, I just took an entire bottel of vit D on your suggestion! /sarc

[Rockingham]

I am also a celiac. I had to figure out for myself after decades of ill health.

I take a Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc, with Vit. D. everyday. I helps with the fibromyalgia. Need to add a Vit E, but it’s just too many pills, along with the 4 Fish Oil.

50,000 per week for 4 weeks is what my doctor has prescribed, it is not out of the ordinary. I take one pill every Sunday.

If you live far enough south, spend 10-20 minutes a day in the sun with as little on as possible.

Grew up in southern Texas....plenty of sun...no vitamin D issues...but now I get precancerous skin lesions removed every 6 months..... GRIN....really!

Do not use a suntan salon unless you want her to get skin cancer. Again, Direct Sunshine !!

How is UVA and UVB radiation from the sun different than those absorbed in a tanning booth?

I break mine up half in the AM, the other in the PM.

I too have Fibromyalgia and can’t take that horrid side effect riddled Lyrica. I also have Osteo A, and Osteo P of the hands, Osteo A of 4 disc.

I take 2 1,000mg fish oil, 1 flax seed, 1 plant sterol, 1 probiotic, 2 calcium, 2 1000mg D’s, 1 400mg E, 2 Collegan, 1200mg B 12. Along with my Synthroid, baby asprin an. My synthroid raises my Cholestrol artificially.

5 Mg Valium to sleep with...works wonders on the Fibromyalgia!

har har! 8-p~~~

[Marie]

Very frustrating, I know. :(

[MsLady]

Don’t stay out in the sun long enough to get a tan or burn. After the 10-20 minuets put on tan lotion. I’ve had skin cancer 2x’s no lesions the real deal, I lived most of my life around DC.

Sorry the Lyrica hasn’t worked for you. It has been a life saver for me. I take Effexor and Lyrica together and even my friends have seen the difference. I was doing great until I broke my leg in December. But I’m slowly returning to normal.

[GailA]

It attacked every OA joint in my body, pain level went from a 5 where it normally is, to a 15 in about an hour. Took nearly 6 weeks to get 2 50 mg of the Lyrica out of my system and the Fibro Flair to stop. I have a lot of bad reaction to drugs, OA ones especially.

Hope leg heals well.

[KYGrandma]

Thanks.

I am glad I am taking it, i can feel the difference
