Recently, researchers compared women with fibromyalgia to those without. They found that other than iron intake, women with fibromyalgia are found to consume less vitamins A, C, B12, D and E and minerals folate, selenium, zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium. (Interestingly, vitamin E intake doesn’t affect fibromyalgia patients’ quality of life reporting while the amount of protein intake does affect pain reporting.) (2) Low levels of vitamin D have been related to fibromyalgia patients. (3) Further, vitamin D is showing itself beneficial in reducing fibromyalgia patients’ pain perception. Raising califediol (the one of three vitamin D forms that is measured in the blood to check vitamin D levels) is positive, economical, and low in side effects. (1) So what approaches seem to help fibromyalgia? One report says a combination of moderate physical exercise and supplementation. (2) Another review of the literature about fibromyalgia gives varying levels of evidence for benefits from these approaches: cognitive behavioral therapy, massage, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, muscle strengthening, diet, and body/movement awareness among others. (4) So what can a New York City fibromyalgia patient do? Check out the New York City chiropractic approach at Rosenberg Wellness Center that incorporates many of these.
