Members discussed their varied vitamin and supplement routines for managing fibromyalgia symptoms, with vitamin D, B12, and magnesium emerging as the most commonly mentioned for addressing fatigue, mood, muscle spasms, and pain. Several members shared that their doctors found them deficient in vitamin D (some severely low) and prescribed high-dose supplements or B12 injections, while others reported magnesium helped reduce nighttime muscle spasms and Natural Calm, CoQ10, turmeric, and omega-3s supported energy and overall well-being. A recurring theme was that while vitamins provided modest but meaningful relief rather than dramatic improvement, members emphasized the importance of getting levels tested by a doctor, experimenting to find what works individually, and combining supplements with other lifestyle changes for the best results.

I take Vit C - Vit E - Vit D3 (3,000 mg) - Omega 3 - COQ10 - B100 - B12 - Folic Acid - Biotin, 5HTP and Magnesium (the magnesium is in the form of Natural Calm). I feel that taking the above "collection" does help. My doctor says that for my age I'm in pretty good shape, excluding the fibro issue. She feels that the vitamins are definitely doing some good as I am 76 years old. On my good days it's 'You go girl!'. On my bad days, it's 'Hell hath no fury like a woman in pain'.

I take 8000 iu of D a day with B12 and a multi. Doesn't seem to make any difference for most things but the D improves my mood I think. Id like to try magnesium. Hear great things when used externally.
