I'd like to second that. Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency are similar to those of fibromyalgia- which I feel is a diagnosis often given when doctors just don't know what else it is. My sister presented these symptoms and was tested and found to be extremely deficient in Vitamin D. She is still working on recovering, since I believe this was one problem among others- but is worth looking into for anyone suffering. Especially since Vitamin D deficiency is more common than previously thought.Replied By Watergirl (Destin, Fl) on 02/19/2010
Please note; thousands of "outdoor" people in Hawaii, Florida, Arizona, California (and other sunny places) have FM. I contracted it as a professional racing sailor in the South Seas (years under the sun daily).Replied By Liz (Buffalo, Ny) on 06/16/2012
