I Could Always tell When My Iron Was Low As I Would Start Craving ICE. CraZy Huh ?

Best To Find Out WHY It Is Low (If Your Not Pregnant).
What Did Your Dr. Say ?

Making Sure Your Face is In The Sun At Least 15 Minutes a Day Is the Best way To Bring Your levels Of D Up. Or You Can Take a D3 Supplement. Your Dr. will Give You a Prescript For HIGH Doses If Your Really Low.

Yes, daily. My tender points on the back of the head are inflamed and just cause severe aching, and tenderness to the touch. I can hardly stand the lightest pressure on my head. My hair even hurts! (Like I've had my hair in a tight ponytail or worn a headband for too long.) I take heavy doses of both iron and D and still have trouble getting my numbers consistently up. You're not alone.

Having one right now! Is turning into a daily thing. Take vit d supplements. Iron is fine.

Yes, I have daily headaches. Some days they are full blown migraines, some days cluster headaches, and some days they radiate from the back of my head. I am chronically anemic and take a high dose of iron every day that barely brings me up to low/normal. My body just doesn't absorb iron well.

My hips usually hurt at night when I try to get comfortable to sleep. It's worse when I'm having a flare.

MsBoni.......Well i noticed I was craving lots of ice too....There is a store that has the best fountain drinks with the BEST ice and i find myself making a special trip to get a coke with extra ice.... =] nah I'm not pregnant =] they put me on vitamin D and iron and calcium (it was low too).

Bobbii........ That is exactly how my head feels. i have long hair and your right it does feel like i had a ponytail in for a long time

Mommyyx6....... yeah that's how my headaches are they have become my daily life..

LynnJ55... My hips hurt me too thought maybe i had injured them some kind of way but couldn't remember doing anything that would have.


Well I want to thank all.......
This has been such a very hard adjustment for me. I have been so active all my life.

Good Bless All!!!

Oh my headaches have become a daily thing to wake up to now. I never suffered from them until these 2 evil diseases came along. I do good to even brush my hair most days. I hope you find relief.

Yes, every day.......*sigh*

I think alot is due to muscle tightness and muscle knots in my neck, shoulders, and back. I also have suffered for years from migraines, and now take Topamax daily to help prevent them.

Headaches are one of the common complaints with fibro, unfortunately.

Interestingly, I too have low iron levels and lower Vit D levels....

HUGS from down south :)

I have suffered from headaches all my life. Migrains started when I was 13 . Two years ago, I was having such bad headaches and migrains and my neurologist order Gabapentin for me. I take 2 capsules in am and two in pm....have helped SO MUCH....I had one migraine for 90 days and could hardly stand it....hope you get help with headaches soon !

Yes, as CajunTiger said, I think I get headaches when I have muscle tightness in my neck and shoulder areas. When pressing on the knots, I can actually feel the pain go up to my head. I just try to works the knots out and take pain relief.

I was anemic on and off before my hysterectomy. I did not find it gave me headaches but definitely depleted my energy and I bruised easily. You should ask your doctor what supplement to take for both the low iron and vitamin D. The anemia can cause your muscles to ache more too; hence why you may be feeling it more in your hips right now.

I get headaches daily and sometimes migraines. I usually have to sleep to get rid of a bad headache or a migraine and take some Tylenol. The meds I have tried for headache and migraine prevention I have had reactions to. They also get worse if I haven't had enough sleep or broken up sleep. I had multiple test about 4 years ago and they didn't find anything wrong - ended up telling me it was from fibro.

My iron isn't low , but I have chronic low vitamin D.

Low vitamin D level can cause wide spread pain. My pain levels were worse until I started taking a vitamin D supplement. Did your doc recommend supplements? I've no trouble with my iron.

Change of weather gives me headaches all the time. Right now we had a little rain, and my brain is throbbing. I live on pain killers, how can I still feel so much pain?

I suffer headaches, and chronic migraines almost daily (20 a month). I have neck, back and hip pain daily. I'm anemic (low iron), low vitamin D, and low B-12.

Yes I get headaches daily, and some are so over the top, I can't get out of bed. Dark and cool is what I need. I take extra strength Tylenol but that doesn't help much.

Hope you find some relieve soon.

I used to have SPG Blocks in the '80s, not on Park Ave., but from another doctor off Madison Ave. They used cocaine. It was also for fibro pain. Another thing I tried which didn't work.

A rheumatologist suggested an aspirin a day for migraines. I didn't take it because I was taking other NSAIDs. Now I am doing it and it's a Godsend for headaches and other pain. It causes the blood to flow more easily.
