            <description><![CDATA[ A few years back I was diagnosed as having fibromyalgia when I complained of pain in various parts of my body.  General inflammation? Don&#039;t know, but an improved diet and supplementation seemed to make a huge difference and today, with the exception of a pulled achilles tendon that does not want to go away and leave me alone and the usual arthritis, I seem to be fibromyalgia free.  Just FWIW.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Ben - sorry for your mother&#039;s suffering.  I had FM for years...I was given a lot of drugs that did nothing for the pain and weakness but made me feel terrible.   Eventually, I discovered that I was very low in vitamin D (testing via 25 OH vitamin D).<br />
Once I began using high dose vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), all my pain went away.  I stopped  and the pain came back, so I knew it wasn&#039;t just placebo effect.  That was 5 - 6 years ago and I remain free of FM pain.   <br />
<br />
Do you think you can get a test for her?  It&#039;s better to know the baseline levels so you know how aggressive to be with the dosing.  <br />
<br />
Many people are found to be deficient in vitamin D especially seniors who aren&#039;t typically out in the sun enough and even if they are, the skin loses its ability to convert sunshine into the usable D form.<br />
