Dear Kia2, So glad to hear you will be looking into this. I would even at first cut out the calcium and vitamin D and just take 350 mg magnesium ciitrate a day and see how you are. I know my husband had awful pain and problems from taking just calcium with no magnesium and also my sister was on calcium alone and vitamin D and got on magnesium and said she is pain free and able to walk all through the mall without her walker. I will tell you what I took to cure me of fibromyalgia it was Pantetheine and COQ10 250 mg and malic acid capsules and 5-HTP and took one of each pill once a day for 6 months and was cured and don't have to take them anymore. I know it is lupus but it is similar to fibromyalgia and magnesium is said to help almost any illness. You can get those supplements at any health store.

Dear Kia2, I might add that they have found that magnesium is a great help for lupus and I had a severe case of fibromyalgia for 20 years diagnosed by a rheumatologist and met a scientist who told me what to take and he cured me 100% and have been symptom free of it for 14 years. Fibromyalgia is similar to lupus and if you like I can tell you the supplements to take and they are not expensive and every bit as strong as prescription drugs and after taking them for 6 months you can stop and never have any symptoms of fibromyalgia again. The doctor who sent me to the rheumatologist said yes I am cured completely.
They do find even the doctors and researchers that magnesium is a great help for lupus. In 7 years Moderna company said they will have a vaccine out that will wipe out cancer and heart disease and autoimmune disease completely.

Thank you for the information. 🙂 I will definitely look into this.

Dear Kia2, Please don't mind me saying but I was asked to teach nutrition in the schools in 1988 I knew so much and even more now. I must say that anyone taking vitamin D and calcium with no magnesium will bring on osteoporosis and pain in bones and joints and muscles not to mention heart trouble and a whole host of problems. I would say take two parts calcium and one part magnesium and leave out the vitamin D for now. I am one person who caused a lot of problems by taking vitamin D and calcium and no magnesium and I know many others also who had problems as well. Magnesium is known to help pain and bones in a tremendous way and take 350 mg of magnesium per day. I have told people and a lot of people won't listen to me but even many doctors and specialists say to take magnesium for pain. I am on blood thinners plavix and have no trouble taking magnesium and I used to have terrible pain in my knees and everywhere.
It helps nerves and insomnia and a whole host of things

Hello. 🙂
I take vitamin b complex, vitamin d and calcium.
I have to be very careful what I take as I'm on blood thinning medication and it badly interacts with so much other medication.
I take co-dydramol 10/500 for the pain, but it isn't working as well as it used to in the beginning. I don't want to take anything stronger as my body will make a resistance to that too. It's a catch 22 situation.
