@deksgrl it seems like Vit D deficiency is a factor in most premature deaths from many causes. Thankfully the Vit D3 and Vit K2 needed to get our Vit D levels into the 70-90 range costs very little. I have ready the same thing about fibromyalgia that you mentioned.0 -
I plan on doing 50 carbs a day and I'm not actually officially diagnosed but I've had symptoms of fibro and CFS syndrome for over 15 years as I have an autoimmune form of hypothyroidism since childhood. Feel free to add me if you want, I'm here to lose 65 lbs AGAIN using low carb all over0

Dx with fibromyalgia just over 5 yrs ago. Nothing made a difference to me until I went gluten free and upped my magnesium.
I post all clinical trials/studies re: FM that come in my inbox from Medscape (health professionals' cont ed website) here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10104325/medscape-updates-on-clinical-studies-medical-professionals-continuing-ed-site-re-fm#latest0 -
I now take cod liver oil- pure liquid form, from my health store refrigerator, plus Electro Mix (sometimes 2 packets if I am exercising)made by the same folks who do Emergen-C which I also take; light version, dissolves in water.
I am not a huge believer in pills but I heard that collegen as found in Reserveage ( expensive) is helpful to fatique and joint pain.

Boron deficiency can aggravate so many pain related disorders. It's worth checking into...0 -

@Baconslave, you are so knowledgeable about so much stuff, I'm surprised you haven't found this out yet. Chronic fatigue has been strongly linked to magnesium deficiency as some other posters have already pointed out. Suggestions: soak your feet in hot water with Epson salts every day; or take a hot bath with Epson salts every day or might I suggest the use of a very pure form of magnesium oil if you aren't currently using any...:I'm sure you probably already are supplementing Magnesium in some way since you follow LCHF.

That's cool. I think that is the minimum effective dose, @Sunny_Bunny_. LOL If you have any continuing joint discomfort, you might look into adding more... What exactly is that stuff, like a powder like a form of Emergen-C as far as how it mixes up? It looks interesting. Do you have a link to where you get it? I'm not currently taking a multi - as most of my blood work showed specific areas of deficiency...0 -

I take 1 1/2 scoops twice a day so I'm taking 3 total doses according to the lable.
I bought it locally at a store called Mother Earth. I went in seeking a good magnesium and that's what the lady recommended. It tastes like a sour fruity, fizzy drink.0 -
I've gotten that Magnesium drink off Amazon in the past (when I took it for cramps. I haven't been taking supplements for the past few months.).0
