But, I am having intense ankle swelling, so bad it hurts to put on my shoes ! Has anyone else had this problem ? My primary told me if it was caused by the vit D, my body would regulate itself. Any info would help. I have recently started taking Vit D, the pain in my hands and arms has slowed down some. But, I am having intense ankle swelling, so bad it hurts to put on my shoes !

The next week they called to report my labs showed a Vit D deficiency as well as a Carnitine deficiency. By then my fatigue was dissipating. The Dr then ordered 2,000 IUs of Vit D for 12 weeks with follow up labs. Now my strength is also returning. I also sleep well for the first time in years, wake up without my muscles burning and generally feel the best I have in about 12 years. I'm alert, happy, remembering my words and don't suffer from the mental "fog". Acupuncture and Biofeedback were ordered but denied by insurance, but I'm more able to do my yoga, which helps with flexibility, and walking for cardio. I urge everyone to try Integrative or Complementary Medicine if at all possible. My pain stopped 3 days after Integrative Medicine started me on supplements including:

Inflam-X–rice-based,contains turmeric, ginger and rosemary, vitamins
2,000 mg/day L-Carnitine
100 mg CO Q 10
1,000 mg Fish Oil

I’m really not motivated enough to sort everything I take into one of those organizers either. That’s why I really like this company - Vitamins On Demand. Basically, you set up your vitamin pack (which is really simple since they have everything broken down into health concerns), choose the Auto-Ship service and they’ll send you your vitamins every 4 weeks. All packs contain at least 1,000 IU of Vitamin D3. Here’s the cool thing. They come in this calendar pack that’s marked with each day and everyday has all of the vitamins you should take. I never forget to take them anymore.

I don’t think it will be some magic pill, but wonder if it may do something noticeable. Some people say blending Tramadol and Lyrica is a godsend, while others heavily warn against it. Some of the anecdotal evidence I’ve read about the drug says the swelling of appendages, particularly fingers, is not worth the degree of pain recession. I hope my doctor has some real answer to whether Lyrica can help. She’s been right before. [...] [...] So, I am debating whether it’s time to talk to my doctor again about trying the medicine.
