I just had a visit with a new rheumatologist. I know that many of the sults,like myself have develoed a lot of overuse issues. One of mine was that my entire body ached all of the time and I am slways tires. My back aches down my spine, fingers hut ,arms etc.
The rheumatologist asked if I had ever had a vitamin D test. She said when you're low your joints aches, you're tired, have selling and immflamation etc.
Well, mine was extremely low. I bought a bottle of D and am oging to see if there is an improvement.
the only thing is--D is a fat soluable vitamin, so I imagine levels have to be tested once or twice a year--but that would be a miracle to get out of this pain.
NTWAY, i THOUGHT i'D PASS IT ALONG TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP ANYONE SELSE.
TALK TO YOU LATER.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Vitamin D

Thanks for the information.
I have had my vitamin B check and often I am low.
I take B-12 injections for zinging pains. I don't know why it works but I started getting them as a teenager, for neuro pain.
I hope this works for you and then I will ask the doctor to check my Vitamin D count.
I also take B-complex because I have read that when we are under stress B is depleted.
Pain = Stress = B depletion is just common sense to me.
As a small child the doctors had my mother give me tons of B because of my arm.
Now if this will help with secondary pains and aches I will take it and do cartwheels again!
LOL...LOL...
