True I have always said that people with Fibromyalgia have Vitamin deficiencies and I also have iron deficiency anaemia as well have to buy some magnesium tablets as well.

Definitely there needs to be a Poll on how many people have Vitamin deficiencies on this Website.

Low Iron is related to restless leg syndrome and low vitamyin D has a strong connection to fibromyalgia pain.
As we get older our ability to absorb “D” from the sun becomes less effective, therefore the need for supplements. It has been recommended by my primary doc to use sublingual drops of “D” and Iron for max benefit and fewer side effects.

Thank You will check it out but yes most Fibromyalgia Patients are Vitamin deficient especially Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 as well and many also have iron deficiency Anaemia.

Yes, Vit D is important! So is magnesium!

I would love to be able to take Vitamin D. However, I was diagnosed in late 2017 with Hypercalcemia caused by Sarcoidosis. It seriously affected my kidneys so have been on Prednisolone ever since. As a result of the steroids I now have Osteoporosis so take Calcium supplements even though my calcium levels are normal. I also have to take Alendronic Acid which can have horrendous side effects, which luckily I haven't experienced yet.
My 'Geriatric Medicine' doctor, I am only 62!, wants me to take vitamin D as my levels are quite low. However, the Renal consultant won't let me take it due to the affect if may have on my kidneys, I now have CKD. I appear to be in a Catch 22 situation.
I had a blood test last week prior to my Renal appointment this week and I noticed they had asked for Vitamin D levels to be checked. I will hopefully find out, tomorrow, the outcome.
