Your MRI indicates you have problems with your neck. In my experience the neurologist have been no help what-so-ever (with this MRI they will see you now). However, the spine Dr. has been very helpful.

Don’t let any Dr. tell you you can’t be treated or tested !

You can buy your own lab test online at:
http://blog.healthcheckusa.com/other...yroid-madness/

You can also learn more about the tests required and other lab testing organizations on this site:

I’m sorry it took awhile to get back to you.

The only thing you need for low iron is “Amnio Acid Chelated Iron” 29mg. Don’t buy into all those people trying to sell you things because they know your in pain.

Do you take Vitamin D3? (5,00IU/day)

Low ferritin also causes symptoms like fibromyalgia. Ferritin becomes low long before your iron blood labs go low, it’s a measure of iron stored in the blood.

Thank you for the reply; my rheumatologis told me I need to see a spine surgeon. I am in the process to do that now. I have contacted laser spine institute, they look at my mri report and told me that may cause the problem. However when I do some search and some review about them, I found a lot of negative feedback online. Do you have any input on laser spine institute? I started taking the an iron syrup and it seems like it starts helping me on the way my skin look. Right now I am taking 100iu vitamin d. Do you think 5000iu vitamin d a day may help? The one I bought says don't take over 1000 a day.

hope to hear from you

While my nerve is pulsing in the left of my forehead (the skin), however when I put my hand and hold the upper left with my hand, it looks like the pulsing stop for the moment. Can the neck problem cause the nerve sensation?

any suggestion

One test I have read for neck pain is to put your hand on your head and see if the pain will go away, if it does it is your neck. However a Dr. would be your best bet.

I will try to increase my intake of vit d. I will buy the softgel, while taking the chewable. I am taking 1000 chewable now. I have not been tested for chiari malformation. when I look at this linke

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold%...i_malformation

I don't feel a lot of symptoms they describe there.

I am still in process of seeing other doctors now

I want to ask this question, does high level of vit d help with neuropathic pain?

It depends on how low your Vit D levels are. I took 10,000 IU for 30 and now I take 5,000 IU per day because I am chronically low. A normal person could safely take 2,000 IU per day forever. You might want to take 5,000 IU for a month and then reduce to 2,000 IU.

remember any amnio acid chelated iron is fine, no need for special iron.
