I just did a quick check of the fibro newsgroup to see whether anyone was talking about Vitamin D; seems a few people there have tested low but there's some disagreement over the effect on FMS of bringing the level back up.
Next time I manage to corner my doctor I'll ask whether Vitamin D was includde inthe last batch of bloodwork. In the meantime, I suppose I can just start experimenting with how supplements make me feel, after the next time I feel well enough to walk to the drug store.
My doc says it's a relatively new test and vitamin D studies have only come out in the last couple years or so . I was kinda surprised but taking 1000 IUs/day has helped the general aches and pains tremendously.

Thanks for the info.

Here's a thread on a vitamin D and fibro that I found: http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3214 Has some links to medical journals with studies of vitamin D and various conditions including fibro.
Good luck with it!!
