Oh, my gosh! Start taking 20,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 a day - do this right away. I had so many of your symptoms plus numb toes, constant earaches, arthritis. You name it, I had it. I went to my doctor just in time because he had gone to a seminar on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. He says that they have linked Vitamin D as one of the leading causes for these illnesses. The lowest Vitamin D level that you should have in your body is 30. Mine was almost at 8. My doctor was so alarmed that he called me on the Saturday right after Thanksgiving. I can't tell you how much better I feel. No more numb toes, earaches, severe aches and pains at allllllll of my joints, no more feeling like I constantly have the flu. I am so surprised at how much better I feel. I actually had to start out with 50,000 IU's a day for a month. Now I am down to 20,000 a day. And, in the winter I use a Happy Light. I love it!!! Hope this helps. View Entire Thread

My wife suffers Fibro and has found that mega doses of Vitamin D help her get sleep witch then lessens the pain and other fibro problems. I note when I get a sunburn I get sleepy for the next couple of days. Bob
