I've done some reading about Vitamin D and will make sure I get mine checked soon. I read all of the info on the Fibro 101 section and it was very informative.

If anyone wants to read more information about Vitamin D, (probably today only) there is a Free Kindle book you can purchase on Amazon. It's called "Power of Vitamin D" by Sarfraz Zaidi, MD.

It has 40 reviews and a 5 star rating. Either way, it's free, but probably only for today. The prices change regularly when they offer the limited time free books. If you don't have a kindle, you can download a free Kindle app for your computer and still read the book. It discusses many different illnesses including Fibro that are caused by a lack of Vitamin D.

I am not affiliated with this author or book in any way. I just thought some of you may want some additional information.

I am very low in Vit D and Calcium, but when I take it I get extremely bad side effects (diarrhea; nausea, etc.). I've tried it many times and have the same results. My dr. says I need these to feel better, but she's going to have to figure something else out since it doesn't work for me. I've learned to be my own advocate. Good luck and I hope you find what works for you!

I cannot take vitamin D either, My husband wants to buy me a lamp lol but in the spring i plan to go out in the sun for 15 mins a day and that will hopefully raise my level. I think my calcium is normal but I have been eating a lot of calcium rich vegetables.

I am super low in Vit D and high in Calcium....Due to severe complications and surgeon errors I almost died in June from what was to be a routine gallbladder surg that just didn't go as planned I was a mess inside. However I had been so incredibly ill before surg 2 weeks All of my blood levels were off but on of them was critical and they didn't address it at all. I weighed at the time of SX about 143 I kept telling them something was wrong but after 6 days in hosp i got sent home. 2 days leter I was back in with cong heart failure and I weighed 190lbs from fluid (it was called Anasarca) I was in the hosp another 13 days getting TPN through a PIC line I didn't really know that Vit D was that darn important I am going to go check it out...my level was only a 6. I don't to much believe in Fibromyalgia due to a health ins background of 23 years but living it makes me rethink that. I do have mild lupus as well with Sjorgens like symptoms (those are the most annoying of them all) I can tell I am going to learn a lot from you all. I feel like God threw my hands on my computer.
