Not a scientist or detective but ive spent a lot of time trying to understand my body (sadly through internet searches) and why I have autoimmune disorders and if things are linked together. Im just curious how many of you had some type of vitamin deficiencies before or leading up to diagnosis of fibro?
My vitamin B12 and D are low. I get a monthly B12 shot and a vitamin D supplement because it was only 30 and should be 75.
@AprilGoad-my dr mentioned something about the lining in my stomach not allowing nutrients to pass through also (which is why i take b12 injections)
@Nerik-I have been tested and have been low which is the reason i was asking others. The guy that did my colonoscopy said he thought i had celiac disease and I havent gotten to a rhemotologist to test for RA
My vitamin D deficiency was super low, lower than they can measure I wad put on supplements twice with not much difference, I was told the sun was the best way to get this intake but I'm a red head so me and the sun don't get along well together lol.
I have deficiencies hun after the diagnosis because I kept having flare ups. So I was tested for alot of stuff. Vitamin D, factor 5, Iron and vitamin B. I take a women's multi vitamin for this.
I remember now that when I was in the hospital my potassium and magnesium were low. Ik that if your low in mag, you get fatigue.
