Q: Is it possible that a deficiency in vitamin D also related to Fibromyalgia? Can that also be related to the fibro fog phenomenon or early onset dementia or ahalsymers ?
Hello, Marie,
I have Fibro and RA, and I do have a Vitamin D deficiency. I am treating it now with Mega D-3 capsules. Lene Andersen, our mentor here, just wrote a post Vitamin D Affects Genes for Cancer, Autoimmune Diseases: Study I am not sure if Vitamin D supplements help with Fibrofog, but I do know that everyone should have their Vit D levels tested because it is a very important nutrient.
Blessings,

Have you talked to your doctor about your symptoms? I recommend that you do that soon. Perhaps there is some kind of imbalance going on, or you are reacting to one of your meds. Whatever it is, the quicker it is treated, the better the outcome. Please talk to your doc, and let us know how you are doing.
Blessings,

P.S. I love your profile photo. I am a kitty-lover myself. I have three right now...all strays I rescued. They are my "children" now, and an important part of our family. They are great for cuddling when you are not feeling well. 
I love animals and cats especially but I am allergic and have breathing problems when I live with them.I would love to have another as my last cat was stolen but I guess it is just best right now to love other peoples pets.
Would you be allergic to one of those hairless cats? I think there are some dogs...poodles, I think....that people w/allergies can tolerate better than most. Sorry you are allergic. Darn it!!! I bet you would be a good kitty or puppy mom!

Hi Donna,
It is true that symptoms of vitamin D deficiency can mimic symptoms of fibromyalgia. I don't know about the fibro-fog.
Have you rheumatologist check your vitamin D levels and work from there. I am one that doesn't absorb vitamin D well and take very large amounts daily. But it is important to know that vitamin D is a fat-soluable vitamin, meaning that you must take it with a little bit of fat (butter, peanut butter, oil, etc).

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question I am just a little concerned as I find myself unable to absorb vitamins either suplements and almost none from food I am not able to drink milk and I have been experiancing memory loss at an alarming rate I am in my early 40's and at times I can't recall normal everyday things like feeding myself,what my childrens names are or their addresses etc.
