I have heard it's stress so many times!! Thank you for doing this video!! I'm so glad you did. I'm so sorry you have this pain! I didn't know! OMG! That is terrible you coming off the antidepressant. How scary! I had no idea about the vitamin D. I am going out in the sun tomorrow!! Thank you so much! I will let you know if it helps me. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all we need is sunshine! I'm going to get supplements too!! Wow..amazing!
Sharon Wise I hope it helps. Sun in NZ was strong. I was out a lot. Of course during their winter they don't get as much sun because they are so far south but I went in their summer and the days are long. Do you remember The Beach Boys movie "endless summer"? I want to do that, minus the surfing 😄 and get your vitamin d levels checked. They might be okay. But if they are not I bet it explains at least some of the pain.

@@elliegoldie5902 I missed this comment! I have found it true that exercise helps a lot. It’s hard because you feel like you can’t do anything. I started “the perfect workout” which is a twenty minute 2x week resistance training (with a coach who makes you finish when you think you can’t) and it has also been helpful along with keeping my fit d levels up. I still get my levels checked about twice a year.
Wow this is interesting to me. I suffer with episodes of pain which mainly strikes at night and disturbs my sleep. I've had numerous blood tests which always come back 'normal'. I do have autoimmune conditions - Hashimotos, alopecia etc. During the pandemic I was taking a vitamin D supplement and didn't experience a flare up. In recent months I stopped taking it and now I'm in the midst of a flare up! I'm going to try those supplements again.
My sister has fibromyalgia. I have my own autoimmune issues, and I've wondered if I also have it. I am in pain most of the time. I've been gluten free for ten years. I probably have celiac disease, but I was tested after I went on the diet so it doesn't show. But, wow, I've been through similar things to yours. I was told it was all in my head too. My sister has said all of this too. Oh SSRIs! Lord-a-mercy, they were horrible for me. I took two types, and had terrible reactions. My sister took some of those two-factor ones. I took Neurontin for years, and coming off of it was a nightmare. I used a supplement to get off of it. Oh, this is all so familiar. Ugh. I now take a high supplement of Vitamin D because I'm so low. I did the high dose, and now I'm on the 2,000. I'm thrilled for you. I do feel so much better than I used to. Vitamin D is huge. Keep taking your supplements my friend. Also, I can't keep enough Vitamin B-12 either. I probably don't synthesize things very well because of my gluten intolerance. Hugs!!!

Thanks for sharing your story! I have Ankylosing Spondilitis, and live in constant pain. I'll get my Vitamin D level checked at my next doctor appointment. I live in the Seattle area...so, a Vitamin D deficiency could be a contributing factor for me too.
L Schuman This is my issue along with a list of others. I took a blood test and I was informed my vitamin D level is 5. Normal levels should be anywhere from 50-100. So my doctor has placed me on 50,000 i/u of vitamin D3 once of week for 8 weeks, so we shall see. My back hurts to the point where I can't move like yesterday so hopefully I have found the reason for everything. I will be 38 Thursday and have been in constant pain since the age of 25.

Terrific video! I totally understand where you are coming from. I have suffered from chronic pain and immune system issues for many years. The first time I was put on antidepressants to help ease the pain was almost 40 years ago. When I was in my mid-twenties. So happy to hear that Vitamin D is giving you some relief. I will definitely mention testing my levels next time I'm in for a physical. The antidepressants help some, but it would be so much better to not have to take them. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Take care... I see that this video was posted a little over a year ago. Is the Vitamin D still helping you? Lorna
lobiddibol when I remember to take it. The sunlight helps best (not just sunlight but being in a high light climate) , followed by prescription strength vit D. The otc vitamin D not so much but since it’s daily (as opposed to weekly with the prescription) that’s probably from my not taking it on schedule

It seems that some people may have issues (polymorphisms) with their Vitamin D Receptors (VDR’s) £ whilst they may be able to absorb it from the sun or from food or supplements they may not be able to utilise it very well at cellular level. Whilst it’s a good idea to have a Vitamin D test done, you have to bear in mind that the common serum blood tests do not show cellular status, only the storage form, so it is important to consider the symptoms. Those with VDR issues may need to take more to enable some to get through.
Yay! Your story sounds so familiar! I was dx'd (as a college student) about 15 years ago by the pressure test (funny, the same time I'm moved from the W Coast to the E Coast...). I didn't want to accept I had it and kind of ignored it. It got worse and I was give Savella-didn't react well at all so I stopped it and thought I'd just deal with it like I always had (ignore it). It just progressively got worse to the point, it hurt if someone TOUCHED me. Ugh! I am currently not taking anything since the side effects of everything scares me; just like you mentioned about being dependent on something. I also started taking Vit D a few month ago for hair loss. I had severe stomach cramps so had to stop that. :( I'm so sore after doing simple task. It sucks! I don't know what else to do but enough about me! I'm really hoping this works for you. Please keep us all up to date and maybe I should try building up my Vit D instead of just taking a large dose like I did. What is your dosage? Why do so many of us WOMEN have this??
Seaweede Starfish I was put on a prescription dose for four weeks, and now I take the otc 2000 mg dose, sometimes two. I have to get my levels rechecked. Do you notice a difference when you are back home in the sun? How is your sleep?
My sleep is awful-wake up 3-4 times a night and sometimes I wake up and get some screaming cramp somewhere for no reason! It goes right away but I'm like, WTH??? Well, I dunno if I feel better when I go home or I'm just happier to be home. :)
My sleep has always been awful-- but it seems to be part of that cycle. Less sleep, more pain. I sometimes take Ambien which does help me sleep, and that helps the pain, too. I was in New Zealand a good week before I felt the difference but it was a marked difference.
Thank you so much. I'm so sorry you suffered so much pain, me too. I'd love to travel, but many times I'm bed ridden, due to exhaustion and body pain.However, my Doctor recently checked my Vitamin D labels and I was low. He gave a weekly liquid capsule, I take cod liver oi; as well. I have noticed I'm not so tired, my legs still hurt, but I've noticed some i,improvement.The future looks more promising. Take care.
Any better after the supplements? Vit D helps, but Sunlight seems to be a far better thing for me (natural vit D). Sunlight and exercise-- and boy is it hard to get either when you feel like you can't move, eh?
Cranky Grandma. Interesting. I had malignant melanoma - a cancer - at 22. Believed to be caused by overexposure to the sun. I was very lucky and survived. I’m 62 now. I was told to avoid the sun, and I keep my arms, legs, head/ face more or less covered. I never wear short sleeves. So I don’t get to absorb any vitamin D - or very little. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia many years ago. I do recollect being told around 7 years ago by a physiotherapist that I should get tested for vitamin D. It was a kind of new bit of medical thinking that it might be involved in pain. So I got tested and was very vitamin D deplete and I was prescribed it in tablet form. I can’t remember feeling any better, but I don’t think I monitored things very carefully...What the heck, I’m going to give it another whirl - after all, nothing to lose, and maybe something to gain. IF I remember I’ll write a comment on this channel in a few months time - or anyone reading my comment is welcome to kick me up the pants if I haven’t done a comment then! I’ll do the same amount as my doctor gave me - need to check that one... I tend to develop theories along the way - as I think a lot of suffers do - and I think where I’m at at the moment is that I tend to think the body/mind maybe overwhelmed in some way - whether emotional or physical, or both.Stress, reaction to events, or maybe continuous pressure of some sort. So the body just reacts. And if you can’t give it time to heal and really look after yourself you never quite make it. I’m London based and there are a few private clinics here using Functional Medicine that have had real success with either getting people a lot more well or cured. The approach is stringent, and involves diet, relaxation, looking at what the body lacks using lab tests and so on. If I had the money I’d definitely pursue it. My biggest success to date was when I was on a plant type diet about 6 years ago. I kept it up for about a year and had more energy than I’d ever had, But my circumstances changed and I gradually started reaching for the cream nuns ( oh what a great typo - I’ll leave that one in ! ) cream buns and chocolate to comfort me through a bad patch. Since then I have failed miserably with the diet. You have to stick at it whole heartedly. No exceptions allowed. I completely excluded wheat and sugar. Anyone interested could look up plant based diets. Not for the faint hearted, but if it gets you more well... Hope some of this might be helpful to someone reading this. First time on your channel and I enjoyed listening to what you had to share. Thank you!

I just watched a RUclips piece by Dr. Stasha Gominak regarding sleep disorders and vitamin D. She also linked low vitamin D to fibromyalgia. I thought the information was really informative. I would encourage you to check out her info on RUclips. 🙂
Thankyou that is so true ,I have been taking vit D for years now and my levels are good .normally in summer with the sun ☀️ it’s so much better ,I live in Australia and we have had the most strange weather here ,and I have noticed with the change of weather all the time summer this year was not a good one ! Hopefully next year will be better ❤thanks for sharing your story 🤗
I’ve been taking my Vitamin D and other vitamins for a few weeks now and it has considerably lowered my sharp pains in my joints.I also notice that my mood has been more consistent and I’ve been more patient with others. I’m glad I came across your video. They have been informative and interesting. I will subscribe and like. Thank you again Cranky Grandma.
OMGOSH! I found this video by ACCIDENT! I have suffered from pain in my body, fatigue sine I was a kid. My mother used to give me “ Geritol” when I was a kid because the doctor told her I was anemic. Tested for depression age 30. Age 40 diagnosed “SEVER OSTEOPOROSIS!” Age 50 Fibromyalgia but I didn’t believe anyone anymore. After a bad fall my doctor wanted to do a blood work up off Vitamin D...and I blew that off because I thought what’s THAT have to do with my low back pain, pain down my legs, up my neck and so on. I live in Indiana, which we just had (still having), the worst winter we have had in years! Well, I am going to make sure I get my Vitamin D blood work done within the next 2 days! I do have to say MANY doctors have told me to move to a warmer state. My sisters did and they say their health have improved GREATLY! Thank you so much for this video! Thank you so much!!
Faith Jones they tested me for anemia lots....my iron was fine. I don’t think until recently modern medicine sought out d deficiency, but that’s probably because people used to get a lot more sun just in daily life. Now kids are cooped up in school from before care through after care, and from youth don’t get sun
Cranky Grandma I agree! These kids today can’t read their iPhones in the SUN! I am headed to a doctor to have them run a Vitamin D test! I have sisters that live in Nevada, Henderson (out side of Vegas)...wish I could stay there a MONTH to see if that sun, warmth helps me as it has helped them, like it did you!! Wish me luck! Thank you again for making this clip!
I got vitamin D , I got meds for it till summer , but I need go back my doc we need get other tests , my doc say look like fibromyalgia , but thanks so much , big hug ,
Hope things are looking up for you. Sunlight does seem to be the key to me-- Sunlight, fresh air, and exercise-- many of these are difficult when you feel you can't move.
My vitamin D level was 14, can we talk? I want to see if your symptoms mask mine. I also did a genetic test and I have MTHFR mutations for VDR Taq and BSM +/- which is Vitamin D receptor. I also was diagnosed with sosomatic disorder Also did you have shoulder grinding in weakness also that did go downwards? Like my shoulder grinds when moving it like sandpaper PT cant find the cause i think its vitamin D, did your shoulder pains go away? Im 24 Also if you research Vitamin D is technically a hormone and interacts with serotonin and dopamine etc. How are you doing now?
I'll have to ask my daughter about some of that (she's done Vitamin D research). Shoulder grinding weakness? Not sure what you mean. Most of my pain went away when I was getting the sunlight in New Zealand.
I'm having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months. I was absolutely fine and when one day started having chest pain... It scares me a lot... I have done my ECG echocardiogram endoscopy and what not... Doctor said my heart was fine.... All the doctors are saying that I have in society and anxiety is causing me e these weird pains all over my body and specially my chest pain.. somewhat I was not ready to believe them... I I'm having extremely dry lips... It's sometimes even bleed when the skin comes off, kind of dry skin. And people tell me that I looked very unwell... I got my vitamin test done.... And my vitamin d level is 12.... Dr never asked me for a bit test but can my chest pain and other pain all around my body and specially my wrist and my feet can be a sign of vitamin d deficiency... Can vitamin d deficiency at a level of 12 be so severe Also I have had breathing issues now a days... Strange tightness in the body. ... Lump in the throat feeling... And upset stomach... And I'm also having lump in the throat feeling
I realize you weren't asking me but I must say your question caught my attention. I was diagnosed in the 80's with EDS and was just told I might have Fibromyalgia as well. I have had several MRIs w/contrast and without as well as numerous xrays and camera probes and operations over time. They say these have no overall effect on a person but that cannot be true. I also remember the contrast making my whole body ache but figured that had to do with my EDS at the time. Maybe your question was for other purposes but it sure triggered several memories from my path of health discovery. What do you think? I would love some more ideas if you have any!
@@mayaflynnster no, you hit the nail on the head. I had two MRIs with contrast and am very ill from them. For 6 months I've been dealing with numerous symptoms, at times I can barely walk. I have swelling through out my body and it feels like my tendons are tearing from my bones. Every dr refuses to test for gadolinium, the metal in the contrast dye. There's one place Dr's data, but you need Dr's approval. I joined a yahoo group about this matter, MRI gadolinium toxicity group. The whole medical community is in denial that this causes problems. Chuck Norris is suing for 10 million in CA
Somehow I missed this! Answer is no. I’ve had fibro since about 1969 to 1970 and that was before MRIs were invented I think! They didn’t have a name for fibro back then as I indicated in the video. They have me all sorts of diagnosis for the symptoms later diagnosed as fibro
12 Cell salts or tissue salts of homeopathy are part of the answer to these problems. Do a thorough research on these . Read books on amazon and youtube on these for insight. Study about water memory or water structure and learn how it is associated with homeopathy.
That’s really low! It’s hard with covid to get out but can you get some sun? The doctor should be able to prescribe vit d at a high level. That helped me quite a bit and it’s a good covid defense as well. Things definitely get better when those levels are raised
Hello, I have vitamin d deficiency for last 6 months only 2 months ago it’s identified, and I started to take vitamin d , now my vitamin d Level is 48pg, (was 15) I still have hip and knee muscles pain and shoulder pain , how long it will take to be pain free based on your experience
My experience with fibro is it has flare ups. I'm used to a low level of pain all the time, but there are times when pain and fatigue are worse and times when they are better. Sunlight and exercise seem to be the best things I've found, as well as a good diet. Also-- sleep. Which is difficult. But when I was out getting sunlight and walking in New Zealand, pain faded in about a week and three weeks in there was a massive difference. the vit D capsules help, but when i'm off the prescription my levels drop fairly quickly.
Cranky Grandma I almost recovered, luckily I was able to found a good doctor in last November, he suggested some more minerals and vitamins with vitamin D and some other sports supplements too , now in May I feel good and restarts exercising slowly still have some mild pain but seems tat will get better soon , I doing lots of stretching and massaging myself with massage ball ,
Did you have panic attacks with this as well sweetie I have fibro and yes vitamin d is a wonderful thing I sit I sun feels so good! And where all is your pain at mines in my back and my arms and legs as well
When I take the prescription level of D, I get a change after a few weeks. the prescription is daily so I remember to take it. After 8 weeks of prescripton you go to over the counter daily-- which I confess I forget frequently. (smacks self in head). Being in the very high UV places (New Zealand, Hawaii...) did better than the supplement. I also, upon getting my bloodwork, found my levels didn't go up a whole lot with the supplements. I'd have to get them checked after being in a very sunny area for awhile to see if there is a difference. But I'd say the best change is with natural UV light, second best (noticeable) is with the prescription level, and it's inconclusive with non prescription because I forget to take it daily. DEFINITE and NOTICEABLE difference with natural UV light.
FX that man will kill you. He's a fruitarian herbalist. You are NOT offering from a fruit or herb deficiency. You need meat, fat, organ meats, and checking vitamins and minerals
Vitamin D is a hormone and such is very important to your body.

Take K2 with Vit D. It works with the D. You can get them separately or combined
Thank you for that. I just went and took my Vit. D. pill. Like you, I just kind of forgot about them. That gave me a chuckle. I enjoy your channel.

4 years ago I was diagnosed with FIBROYALGIA and I have tried everything I could to get rid of this , but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum about an herbalist preparing herbal medicines to cure everything type of diseases. including FIBROYALGIA , at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted this herbalist through his email and he prepared me a herbal cure for FIBROYALGIA and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. , gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured of this deadly disease within 2 months of use, I am now totally free from FIBROYALGIA , all thanks to Dr. Joshua Ighalo for helping me with my situation.

What did you find?
Thank you SO much for this video!!!!!!! This helped me so much
I went whole food plant based in my diet and it went away totally. I supplement with Vitamin C, B-12 and D.
Diane Wealand interesting. Do you limit sugar? I can’t use agave or stevia as they make my mouth itch badly
Terrific video! I totally understand where you are coming from. I have suffered from chronic pain and immune system issues for many years. The first time I was put on antidepressants to help ease the pain was almost 40 years ago. When I was in my mid-twenties. So happy to hear that Vitamin D is giving you some relief. I will definitely mention testing my levels next time I'm in for a physical. The antidepressants help some, but it would be so much better to not have to take them. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Take care...
I see that this video was posted a little over a year ago. Is the Vitamin D still helping you?
Lorna
lobiddibol when I remember to take it. The sunlight helps best (not just sunlight but being in a high light climate) , followed by prescription strength vit D. The otc vitamin D not so much but since it’s daily (as opposed to weekly with the prescription) that’s probably from my not taking it on schedule

@@taylorscott7402 u got completely relief from it?
@@pailytv4090 yeah am free now
@@taylorscott7402 r u taking vitamin d3 before?
It seems that some people may have issues (polymorphisms) with their Vitamin D Receptors (VDR’s) £ whilst they may be able to absorb it from the sun or from food or supplements they may not be able to utilise it very well at cellular level.
Whilst it’s a good idea to have a Vitamin D test done, you have to bear in mind that the common serum blood tests do not show cellular status, only the storage form, so it is important to consider the symptoms. Those with VDR issues may need to take more to enable some to get through.
Yay! Your story sounds so familiar! I was dx'd (as a college student) about 15 years ago by the pressure test (funny, the same time I'm moved from the W Coast to the E Coast...). I didn't want to accept I had it and kind of ignored it. It got worse and I was give Savella-didn't react well at all so I stopped it and thought I'd just deal with it like I always had (ignore it). It just progressively got worse to the point, it hurt if someone TOUCHED me. Ugh! I am currently not taking anything since the side effects of everything scares me; just like you mentioned about being dependent on something. I also started taking Vit D a few month ago for hair loss. I had severe stomach cramps so had to stop that. :( I'm so sore after doing simple task. It sucks! I don't know what else to do but enough about me! I'm really hoping this works for you. Please keep us all up to date and maybe I should try building up my Vit D instead of just taking a large dose like I did. What is your dosage? Why do so many of us WOMEN have this??
Seaweede Starfish I was put on a prescription dose for four weeks, and now I take the otc 2000 mg dose, sometimes two. I have to get my levels rechecked. Do you notice a difference when you are back home in the sun? How is your sleep?
My sleep is awful-wake up 3-4 times a night and sometimes I wake up and get some screaming cramp somewhere for no reason! It goes right away but I'm like, WTH??? Well, I dunno if I feel better when I go home or I'm just happier to be home. :)
My sleep has always been awful-- but it seems to be part of that cycle. Less sleep, more pain. I sometimes take Ambien which does help me sleep, and that helps the pain, too. I was in New Zealand a good week before I felt the difference but it was a marked difference.
P.S. I'm glad you replied because youtube sent me a notification which reminded me to take my Vitamin D, which I forgot today :D
Look into Andreas moritz liver flush and get a uvb light for vitamin d
Hi darling, try also organic sulphur it is a miracle for pain and joint.. Hope you are doing great now 🌙
Thank you so much. I'm so sorry you suffered so much pain, me too. I'd love to travel, but many times I'm bed ridden, due to exhaustion and body pain.However, my Doctor recently checked my Vitamin D labels and I was low. He gave a weekly liquid capsule, I take cod liver oi; as well. I have noticed I'm not so tired, my legs still hurt, but I've noticed some i,improvement.The future looks more promising. Take care.
Any better after the supplements? Vit D helps, but Sunlight seems to be a far better thing for me (natural vit D). Sunlight and exercise-- and boy is it hard to get either when you feel like you can't move, eh?
Cranky Grandma. Interesting. I had malignant melanoma - a cancer - at 22. Believed to be caused by overexposure to the sun. I was very lucky and survived. I’m 62 now. I was told to avoid the sun, and I keep my arms, legs, head/ face more or less covered. I never wear short sleeves. So I don’t get to absorb any vitamin D - or very little. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia many years ago. I do recollect being told around 7 years ago by a physiotherapist that I should get tested for vitamin D. It was a kind of new bit of medical thinking that it might be involved in pain. So I got tested and was very vitamin D deplete and I was prescribed it in tablet form. I can’t remember feeling any better, but I don’t think I monitored things very carefully...What the heck, I’m going to give it another whirl - after all, nothing to lose, and maybe something to gain. IF I remember I’ll write a comment on this channel in a few months time - or anyone reading my comment is welcome to kick me up the pants if I haven’t done a comment then! I’ll do the same amount as my doctor gave me - need to check that one...
I tend to develop theories along the way - as I think a lot of suffers do - and I think where I’m at at the moment is that I tend to think the body/mind maybe overwhelmed in some way - whether emotional or physical, or both.Stress, reaction to events, or maybe continuous pressure of some sort. So the body just reacts. And if you can’t give it time to heal and really look after yourself you never quite make it. I’m London based and there are a few private clinics here using Functional Medicine that have had real success with either getting people a lot more well or cured. The approach is stringent, and involves diet, relaxation, looking at what the body lacks using lab tests and so on. If I had the money I’d definitely pursue it. My biggest success to date was when I was on a plant type diet about 6 years ago. I kept it up for about a year and had more energy than I’d ever had, But my circumstances changed and I gradually started reaching for the cream nuns ( oh what a great typo - I’ll leave that one in ! ) cream buns and chocolate to comfort me through a bad patch. Since then I have failed miserably with the diet. You have to stick at it whole heartedly. No exceptions allowed. I completely excluded wheat and sugar. Anyone interested could look up plant based diets. Not for the faint hearted, but if it gets you more well...
Hope some of this might be helpful to someone reading this. First time on your channel and I enjoyed listening to what you had to share. Thank you!

@@taylorscott7402 --- This is crap, you don't even know how to spell Fibromyalgia correctly!
I just watched a RUclips piece by Dr. Stasha Gominak regarding sleep disorders and vitamin D. She also linked low vitamin D to fibromyalgia. I thought the information was really informative. I would encourage you to check out her info on RUclips. 🙂
Savella made me almost normal for 3 years, i learned about it from a chronic lyme patient.
Thankyou that is so true ,I have been taking vit D for years now and my levels are good .normally in summer with the sun ☀️ it’s so much better ,I live in Australia and we have had the most strange weather here ,and I have noticed with the change of weather all the time summer this year was not a good one ! Hopefully next year will be better ❤thanks for sharing your story 🤗
what level does it need to be to relieve pain?
Thanks Cranky Grandma. I’m going to try this for a few days and see if I get some relief.
It takes several weeks to really work. Ask your doc for the prescription dose. That’s once a week for a month
Wow, I didn’t expect you to respond Cranky Grandma. Thank you again. I’m going let you know how it works for me in a few weeks.
I’ve been taking my Vitamin D and other vitamins for a few weeks now and it has considerably lowered my sharp pains in my joints.I also notice that my mood has been more consistent and I’ve been more patient with others. I’m glad I came across your video. They have been informative and interesting. I will subscribe and like. Thank you again Cranky Grandma.
Thank you for sharing this.
OMGOSH! I found this video by ACCIDENT! I have suffered from pain in my body, fatigue sine I was a kid. My mother used to give me “ Geritol” when I was a kid because the doctor told her I was anemic. Tested for depression age 30. Age 40 diagnosed “SEVER OSTEOPOROSIS!” Age 50 Fibromyalgia but I didn’t believe anyone anymore. After a bad fall my doctor wanted to do a blood work up off Vitamin D...and I blew that off because I thought what’s THAT have to do with my low back pain, pain down my legs, up my neck and so on. I live in Indiana, which we just had (still having), the worst winter we have had in years! Well, I am going to make sure I get my Vitamin D blood work done within the next 2 days! I do have to say MANY doctors have told me to move to a warmer state. My sisters did and they say their health have improved GREATLY! Thank you so much for this video! Thank you so much!!
Faith Jones they tested me for anemia lots....my iron was fine. I don’t think until recently modern medicine sought out d deficiency, but that’s probably because people used to get a lot more sun just in daily life. Now kids are cooped up in school from before care through after care, and from youth don’t get sun
Cranky Grandma I agree! These kids today can’t read their iPhones in the SUN! I am headed to a doctor to have them run a Vitamin D test! I have sisters that live in Nevada, Henderson (out side of Vegas)...wish I could stay there a MONTH to see if that sun, warmth helps me as it has helped them, like it did you!! Wish me luck! Thank you again for making this clip!
I got vitamin D , I got meds for it till summer , but I need go back my doc we need get other tests , my doc say look like fibromyalgia , but thanks so much , big hug ,
Hope things are looking up for you. Sunlight does seem to be the key to me-- Sunlight, fresh air, and exercise-- many of these are difficult when you feel you can't move.
Paxil is still on the market in the US. Not sure where you got the info that it isnt
Lil Mama I might have been mixing this up with some European countries. I had a family member who had been on paxil and later lived in Europe.
My vitamin D level was 14, can we talk? I want to see if your symptoms mask mine. I also did a genetic test and I have MTHFR mutations for VDR Taq and BSM +/- which is Vitamin D receptor.
I also was diagnosed with sosomatic disorder
Also did you have shoulder grinding in weakness also that did go downwards? Like my shoulder grinds when moving it like sandpaper PT cant find the cause i think its vitamin D, did your shoulder pains go away? Im 24
Also if you research Vitamin D is technically a hormone and interacts with serotonin and dopamine etc.
How are you doing now?
I'll have to ask my daughter about some of that (she's done Vitamin D research). Shoulder grinding weakness? Not sure what you mean. Most of my pain went away when I was getting the sunlight in New Zealand.
I'm having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months. I was absolutely fine and when one day started having chest pain... It scares me a lot... I have done my ECG echocardiogram endoscopy and what not... Doctor said my heart was fine.... All the doctors are saying that I have in society and anxiety is causing me e these weird pains all over my body and specially my chest pain.. somewhat I was not ready to believe them... I I'm having extremely dry lips... It's sometimes even bleed when the skin comes off, kind of dry skin. And people tell me that I looked very unwell... I got my vitamin test done.... And my vitamin d level is 12.... Dr never asked me for a bit test but can my chest pain and other pain all around my body and specially my wrist and my feet can be a sign of vitamin d deficiency... Can vitamin d deficiency at a level of 12 be so severe
Also I have had breathing issues now a days... Strange tightness in the body. ... Lump in the throat feeling... And upset stomach... And I'm also having lump in the throat feeling
Get a second opinion! Low vit D can cause all sorts of issues but there could be other things going on.
Hey i have same symptoms like you can you tell me how are you feeling now and what you do to get healthy please
Google foods high in natural butter then watch Sally k Norton and dr Ken berry
Did you have an MRI w/contrast prior to getting FM
I realize you weren't asking me but I must say your question caught my attention. I was diagnosed in the 80's with EDS and was just told I might have Fibromyalgia as well. I have had several MRIs w/contrast and without as well as numerous xrays and camera probes and operations over time. They say these have no overall effect on a person but that cannot be true. I also remember the contrast making my whole body ache but figured that had to do with my EDS at the time. Maybe your question was for other purposes but it sure triggered several memories from my path of health discovery. What do you think? I would love some more ideas if you have any!
@@mayaflynnster no, you hit the nail on the head. I had two MRIs with contrast and am very ill from them. For 6 months I've been dealing with numerous symptoms, at times I can barely walk. I have swelling through out my body and it feels like my tendons are tearing from my bones. Every dr refuses to test for gadolinium, the metal in the contrast dye. There's one place Dr's data, but you need Dr's approval. I joined a yahoo group about this matter, MRI gadolinium toxicity group. The whole medical community is in denial that this causes problems. Chuck Norris is suing for 10 million in CA
Somehow I missed this! Answer is no. I’ve had fibro since about 1969 to 1970 and that was before MRIs were invented I think! They didn’t have a name for fibro back then as I indicated in the video. They have me all sorts of diagnosis for the symptoms later diagnosed as fibro
12 Cell salts or tissue salts of homeopathy are part of the answer to these problems. Do a thorough research on these . Read books on amazon and youtube on these for insight.
Study about water memory or water structure and learn how it is associated with homeopathy.
Thanks, I will!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My level is 16 .I have chronic muscle pain, body pain, joint pain, headache, sleep problems, brain fog etc. I feel depressed
That’s really low! It’s hard with covid to get out but can you get some sun? The doctor should be able to prescribe vit d at a high level. That helped me quite a bit and it’s a good covid defense as well. Things definitely get better when those levels are raised
@@CrankyGrandma my chronic depression is cure will rise the level?
Do u suffer from inflammation in the body as well?
@@toshan9161 means?
Did doctors recommend ESR and CRP test to check inflammation? I heard vitD deficiency is related to high inflammation
Hello,
I have vitamin d deficiency for last 6 months only 2 months ago it’s identified, and I started to take vitamin d , now my vitamin d Level is 48pg, (was 15) I still have hip and knee muscles pain and shoulder pain , how long it will take to be pain free based on your experience
My experience with fibro is it has flare ups. I'm used to a low level of pain all the time, but there are times when pain and fatigue are worse and times when they are better. Sunlight and exercise seem to be the best things I've found, as well as a good diet. Also-- sleep. Which is difficult. But when I was out getting sunlight and walking in New Zealand, pain faded in about a week and three weeks in there was a massive difference. the vit D capsules help, but when i'm off the prescription my levels drop fairly quickly.
Cranky Grandma I almost recovered, luckily I was able to found a good doctor in last November, he suggested some more minerals and vitamins with vitamin D and some other sports supplements too , now in May I feel good and restarts exercising slowly still have some mild pain but seems tat will get better soon , I doing lots of stretching and massaging myself with massage ball ,
Did you have panic attacks with this as well sweetie I have fibro and yes vitamin d is a wonderful thing I sit I sun feels so good! And where all is your pain at mines in my back and my arms and legs as well
It’s me Beth D my pain is all over but it started in the legs.
I have fibromyalgia cfs/ hypothyroid I’m on vitamin D 3 4000 IU and let me tell you if I don’t take it I’d be bedridden
It does make a difference doesn’t it!
my psychiatrist friend years ago when Effexor was popular esp. for women. he laughingly referred to it as "we'll fix her".. for what that's worth.
It’s still prescribed for migraines. I will never go there again. It was horrible.
And 99% of doctors are completely ignorant. I have the best gp in the city and he never snapped i was severely deficient.
My stuff I’ve been fortunate that my recent past and current gp (both women) always rest for D
So what is the situation right now? Is pain gone? Did vitamin D work?
When I take the prescription level of D, I get a change after a few weeks. the prescription is daily so I remember to take it. After 8 weeks of prescripton you go to over the counter daily-- which I confess I forget frequently. (smacks self in head). Being in the very high UV places (New Zealand, Hawaii...) did better than the supplement. I also, upon getting my bloodwork, found my levels didn't go up a whole lot with the supplements. I'd have to get them checked after being in a very sunny area for awhile to see if there is a difference. But I'd say the best change is with natural UV light, second best (noticeable) is with the prescription level, and it's inconclusive with non prescription because I forget to take it daily. DEFINITE and NOTICEABLE difference with natural UV light.
Are you all full recover now?
I’m back in the North East US with low sun, so it comes and goes. Vit D helps.
but how much ???
How much vit D? I take the 2000 daily. But getting more sun will help you naturally
try Dr. Morse
