Fibromyalgia or Vitamin D Deficiency?
=====================================

Julian Whitaker, MD
Fibromyalgia is being diagnosed with increasing frequency.
World-renowned vitamin D expert Michael Holick, MD, PhD, of Boston
University Medical Center, has an intriguing perspective on
fibromyalgia. In a talk at the annual meeting of the American College
of Nutrition, Dr. Holick reported on research suggesting that as many
as 40 to 60 percent of all fibromyalgia cases are misdiagnosed.

What these patients may actually have is osteomalacia, softening of
the bones due to a loss of calcium (essentially adult rickets) caused
by vitamin D deficiency. Like fibromyalgia, osteomalacia sufferers
have diffuse pain with tenderness at specific points. But while
fibromyalgia is extremely hard to manage, osteomalacia has a cure:
vitamin D supplements.
If you suffer with fibromyalgia or diffuse chronic pain of any type,
talk to your doctor about a blood test to rule out an underlying
vitamin D deficiency and, if appropriate, treatment with high-dose
supplemental vitamin D.
