Hello!
I just got a call from my fam doc and they said I had extremely vit D and grossly low thyroid.
I have been on thyroid med (high dose) for 15 yrs. Now they are saying my pain is due to this. What do u think and what should I say or do? Any advice welcome. Also, is this vit D thing common in fm? Have heard it mentioned several times.

I was way LOW in Vitamin D...tho am not sure WHY since I spend ALOT of time outside under the beautiful sun...i wander what effect STRESS has on our Vitamin D levels as well....does it deplete our bodies ??....I can handle NO stress in my life...and am not sure WHY because emotionally I am strong and clear...lots of questions...
I would ask ur Dr. about all of it...I make discussion appointments every year with my regular physical appointment since I get my Dr. for almost 2 whole hours...we talk about EVERYTHING...

Hello!
I have also been told that my vit D is low and my B-12. I am going to start taking these supplements to see if they help. I have noticed alot of people taking vit D.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
