I’ve recently been diagnosed and am in the process of making a treatment plan with my doctor. I’d like to take some vitamins along with medication to get as much help easing the pain as I can. Any suggestions?

Members shared a range of vitamin and supplement recommendations for managing fibromyalgia pain, with vitamin D emerging as the most commonly suggested option, often recommended by both family doctors and rheumatologists at doses around 2000 IU daily. Several members found relief through magnesium for neuropathy and sleep support, turmeric for general pain reduction, and a specific combination of malic acid with magnesium that one member swore by after 15 years of use. A recurring theme was the importance of working closely with doctors, starting supplements slowly to assess tolerance, and recognizing that while supplements can provide meaningful relief, individual responses vary and patience is needed to see results.

Both my family Dr and my rheumatologist suggested vitamin D. When I remember, I take 2000 IU per day. I get it in drop form so I don't have to deal with pills, but I'm not sure yet if it works, as I haven't been taking it for very long.

Good luck!

I have been taking Malic Acid with Magnesium for over 15 years. Without it I am a mess. There are many out there so be sure to get the right combination. It comes in one pill with both ingredients and also has B6 Vitamin included. There are only a few makers that actually make this combination. I take KAL brand (1500 mg Malic Acid, 500 Mg Magnesium) Causes gassy stomach at first but subsides in time. Start with one a day and build up to more as needed. It works! I swear by it!
