Welcome to DS msnova74, Im not actually sure of everything,but Im low in potassium ,and bananas give me the burps. But I do take multiples. I know we are low in seritonin, I eat a lot of chocolate. (Dont know if theres something, to replace low levels.) Sleep is a lot of factor in our energy too.

I am very deficient in Vitamin D. I tried the otc vitamin D, my Rheumy told me to, but I couldn't tolerate it, it hurt my chest area too badly. So he prescribed a Vitamin D 1/25 MG softgel. You take one a week and so far after 4 weeks that has been highly tolerable by my body. My insurance does not cover it, but we are going to appeal.

Hope this helps you,

Lori

Look into the Metagenics line, they work well for me I take Somnolin which supports Serotonin function, and many other things from their line. I have sublingual B12's help sooo much with energy, so much that if you take one at night you will stay awake! I also take a multi vitamin powder just for fatigue with a b12 capsule that I drop into it. This is a very good idea, vitamins are key to helping the pain. Another big help for me is one called Fibroplex it has magnesium, vitamin b6, and manganese. Are you taking any fish oils? Good luck, hope this helps a little, or even gives some more options.

oh and my vitamin D is so low, which is common. I take one 50,000 IU capsule every 3 days. I haven't felt much difference since taking it, but I'm sure it helps.

My body makes no potassium. A tumor on my adrenal gland would explain that nicely, but they looked and nothing. Potassium deficiencies are common in my family, but usually only in women over 70. Mine showed up at 34.

Years ago, I noticed if I took a second multi-vitamin in the afternoon, I had enough energy to get through dinner. I wouldn't recommend doing that now, but it does raise a few questions for me.

Like, do we have some kind of intestinal deal where we don't absorb nutrients efficiently enough?

Has anyone had a stomach/intestinal biopsy to see if they have adequate villi? They do it for celiac disease. The gluten in wheat destroys the villi which are what absorb the nutrients.

My infectious disease doc says a virus robs our cells of NADH. That, in turn, throws everything out of whack.

Are these supplements that make us feel better just feeding the virus?

If there is such a thing...

Thanks, everyone! Hoping my PCP will cooperate and do bloodwork....my rheumy wants him to do all those checks....we'll see....

Anyone else have any problems, please post away!!!

HUGS to all

B-12 and ATP

and Glutathione!

Deficient in B12 and D. I had too high of a potassium at one point. I take B12 injections every 5 days and a liquid D3, calcium and mag nightly.

Thanks so much, everyone....gonna print these out and show doc when I go in....I'm not sure how familiar he is with deficiencies in fibro patients.

HUGS to all for a glorious day!

from time to time- potassium

all of the time- iron

everything else has been fine
