I have been recently diagnosed with
1. Fybromylagia 2. Transient Osteoporosis / Bone Marrow Edema in my Left Knee. I am taking pain remedies, (Oxycontin, rx by my MD) but would like to know about vitamin supplements and what to stay away from. Intuitively I know that white breads and yeast is not good, cut down caffiene, alcohol, sugar, which I am doing. Im in very good health except that I am in pain every day from the above ailments. Male, 54 years of age. I welcome feedback and the suggestion of seeing a good nutritionist in 91367. Thank You. |

I would get tested for B12 and Vit D. Fibro patients have been found to be low in B12 in Cerebralspinal fluid in the spinal cord.
Get the actual results, numbers, and don't accept "normal" from your doctor because ranges used by labs are out of date in US. For B12 you should be above 400, and for Vit D you should be at 50-80ng/ml. Some patients report more stamina with fibro when using d-ribose. This is a 5 carbon sugar that is part of ATP which is the energy portion in our mitochondria. Here is a link with some links in it : http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ghlight=ribose http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/495866_3 (if you don't belong to medscape yet, you can join for free-- they don't allow full quoting of their copyrighted material, but here is a brief quote): Quote:
