My current doc is all for natural. I take natural Hormone replacement for menopause. When I have low grade infections he prefers to treat it with acidophilous and vit c than with antibiotics if possible. Some of the things have been my requests and some have been his suggestions. He feels if it can be treated naturally with less side effects and not screw my system up any worse then that's great.

My doctors have recommended C0Q10, vitamin D3, Liquid B Complex, magnesium, calcium, and cod liver oil and a regular multi-vitamin/mineral. these doctors are my PCP, neurologist, eye doctor, and pain specialist.

i saw a nuro a while back that told me to take COq10, migrarelife (wich is feferfew ,vitamin b12 and something else i can't remember) and niacin.

the only supplement my primary has perscriped was vitamin D

This is good to hear.

Yes, my rheumy put me on vitamin D since my levels were barely detectable and "like a senior citizens." He also recommended flax oil to be taken at the same time, to boost absorption, since D is oil soluble.

My Doctor suggested Vitamin D as well. I also take an Omega 3-6-9 suppliment. B complexes are good for the nerves.

I haven't heard of CoQ10.

I am on no Vitamin "D" regimen called the Marshall Protocol and am having far less Fibro pain. I GOT Migraines from Feverfew. Magnesium is good for constipation, often caused by all the pain meds. I think we just need to search out meds and supplements that help us. We are all unique and different things work for each of us..
The big push to have everyone supplement "D" seems to be the latest craze. I know several very different people that were give massive doses of "D." With no positive effects. Everyone can't be "D" deficient. And, "D" is actually a hormone, according to my Fibro doctor.

We all need to seek more education about our maladies and the cures thrown at us.
There are so few true experts in the area of Fibro that we can't rely on the doctors to "fix" us.

My Rheumatologist started me on Vitamin D right off the bat. He had me use DHEA but I stopped after a while due to severe constant acne breakouts and I just didn't think it helped at all. Vitamin B12 injections really helped tremendously. I asked him about the COQ10 in the beginning and he agreed that's a good supplement to add. The Vit D, at 2000IU day, was not bringing up my levels so I now take it by prescription at 55,000IU a day. After six month of the B12 injections I switched to a sublingual oral. I just recently swictched from regular COQ10 to the Ubiquinol form which is supposed to be better. I also take a pre-natal vitamin instead of a regular mulit-vitamin at the suggestion of the Family Doc.

My Endocrinologist suggested that I take Fish oil. And to consider it my medicine.
