    Years ago, I was waking up in the wee hours of the morning with bone pain. I also had muscle spasms and was very fatigued. Went to the doctor and he checked my vitamin D levels, which results showed level 6. After taking prescription strength D3 for 4 months, the symptoms went away. Peace and Blessings!🙏🏾❤️

    I am a huge proponent of vitamin D (4000 IU/daily), but the numerous types of chronic pain I've endured are now nearly nonexistent by eating a KETO diet. The elimination of carbs, grains, processed foods and sugar have made an astonishing difference and have normalized my glucose levels, blood pressure and cholesterol in significant ways. It changed my life.

There it was found that my Vit D content in the body was very low. Since then, I started taking Vit D supplements and feeding on food rich in Vit D like egg, fish etc. In the long run, my health was completely restored.

Also I have arthritis and chronic back pain and it helps probably 90%. I actually thought I had fibromyalgia because I have random pain all over my body all the time and you know taking vitamin D every week stopped that random pain.

    I have been reading the comments and have become totally frustrated by certain individuals responses - At no time does Dr Furlan state that Vitamin D is an analgesic or has an analgesic effect. Anybody who actually has genuine chronic pain should know that it’s treatment requires a multi disciplinary approach of which addressing vitamin deficiencies is but one aspect. I wish people would actually LISTEN. I am a registered Nurse who has chronic pain from Fibromyalgia. ☮️💗🐨🇦🇺

      @ Sandra As another R.N., retired/Disabled 19years due to FM & Chronic Pain, I need to respond to your comment. If WE, with these condtitions are not kind to one another and don't support each other when SO many people don't believe us or in us, then where does this leave all of the newly diagnosed with Chronic Pain & FM and all the Associated Conditions? Both men and women STILL have to struggle to have their "genuine" Chronic Pain and symptoms of Fibromyalgia get recognized by their own Healthcare Providers. And even then to be properly treated by being referred to a Pain Clinics. Some are given the diagnosis & told that they have to "live with it," because the HCP either doesn't know enough about the condition or doesn't believe in the "treatment" (aka opioids). And, often, patients, exhausted not just from the symptoms but from the struggles of trying to get answers, just accepts what's said. Others don't & keep searching. These we find right here. Or places very similar. Often exhausted & weary & not always firing on all cylinders. (Quite common with FM & CP. Nothing unkind being said here for I know Fibro Fog intimately!)
      So why should they have to struggle to be accepted by one of their own? This is the one place, the ONE circle where WE cannot be judgemental, cannot be questioning, cannot ridicule. We can't KNOW another's pain. We can't LIVE another's limitations. We can only accept them, hurting, often alone in their struggle, almost always looked at by at least some family members as "faking" or "attention getting". All these people newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain or having just found this Support Group or UA-cam video after years of searching, struggling, that DON'T
      know about pain treatment need from us, is some support, some answers, some referrals, and ABOVE ALL,
      open acceptance.

      I think she should have clarified her statement to say that dark skinned people may not burn as quickly as us pasty, pale folks. At least that is what I've been told by black women I have known. I remember when I was a kid - going back 50 years or so, and we were swimming in our public pool. One of the boys was a very dark skinned black boy, very athletic, and an enthusiastic swimmer. That poor kid got sunburned so bad he had horrible scarring on his shoulders. I cried for him, it looked so painful, and he couldnt swim for quite a while. When he did come back he had painful looking pinkish areas across his shoulders and the skin was tight and puckered. It made quite an impact on me to remember him all these years later.

The new consultant noticed that my bones, on the x-rays looked odd….my bones appeared see through….she immediately diagnosed me with Vit D issues. Despite a test saying I was merely insufficient and not deficient, I was exhibiting the symptoms of someone who was deficient. I was immediately placed on a strong supplement and within 3 weeks I was pain free! My energy levels increased….was night and day, I know have to take a supplement daily.

I also had muscle weakness and pain. It was so bad I had trouble getting up from a sitting position and great difficulty getting up from the floor . I also had a severe anxiety disorder. My NP had my vitamin D tested. I had a severe vitamin D deficiency. My NP had a bone scan done and my bone density was fine... Thank goodness. I was put on high dose vitamin D3 (50,000 IU once a week). My levels slowly went up. My pain decreased... It is now gone... My anxiety has also decreased. My naturopath wants my blood levels up to 125. It is now over 100 so I'm getting there. My pain was definitely caused by my severe vitamin D deficiency. I tested negative for autoimmune disorders.

      @@nlove2k Usually that once a week prescription is D2, which is inferior to D3, ... D3 is superior.
      Your body can absorb the D3 faster. Because your body, while already being weak from being low in D3, is having to work harder to turn the D2 into D3.
      Also, a daily dose of vitamin D3 is better than one huge dose once a week.
      I was in horrible pain, hair falling out, bones easily breaking, barely able to walk, walking up just 3 steps felt like bones in legs were going to decentergrate, screamed when I washed and brushed my hair because it hurt so much to raise my arms. Once I had a shower I was exhausted and couldn't do anything else.
      Found out I was very D3 deficient ... I think my level was 6 or 8.
      I started taking vitamin D3, not D2 but D3 20,000 IU daily, then after 2 weeks, went down to 10,000 IU D3 daily.
      Take D3 with food that has fat in it because D3 is fat soluble.
      Take D3 in the beginning of your day verses the end of your day. And of course, if you can get sunshine, that's the best D3.
      But in the northern hemisphere it's harder this time of the year.
      I don't scream now when washing and brushing hair. Walking up stairs no longer feels like bones are going to decentergrate.

      I live in Brisbane. We get plenty of sun here. My doc told me my vitamin D level was normal. I ended up in the hospital two weeks later for a different reason. They took blood tests just 2 wks after my local doc did and they told me I was extremely low in vitamin D and B12. I thought that was strange since my doc said it was normal. I have always had severe pain throughout my whole body with osteoarthritis fibromyalgia. In the hospital for 11 days, they gave me daily shots of vitamin D and B12 and suggested to continue with 2,000 mg a day. I felt it really helped my pain. After about 4 wks my local doc told me my level was normal and told me to stop taking it. My pain started coming back with a vengeance. I will now continue to take vitamin D again. My point is don't always listen to the doc. He told me my level was normal when gm fact I was extremely low. Thank you for this video.

    I had plantar faciitis for the first time in my life, it lasted four months with no good days. It felt walking in broken glasses, pain that’s so severe that it felt like my whole leg was inflammed even though it doesn’t look like they were swelling. I’m literally crying in pain almost every morning. Ordered vitamin D3 with K2 thinking my pain was some kind of a bone spur or something. I knew vitamin D3 would help with moving calcium to my bones to make them stronger. Long story short, it was sort of a miracle, as within ONE WEEK almost all the pain is gone, and before the 2nd week it was like it never happened and i am 100% sure it was the vitamin as i never change anything in my diet.
