Re: Bone Pain

Gavster, ok, wow, so it sounds like your bone pain is similar to mine... mine is mostly symmetrical too, fingers, both wrists, both ankles, sometimes both arms, sometimes just one thigh bone.

Of course I still occasionally get the classic AF muscle ache/tension in the neck and shoulders and lower back pain... but I know for sure this is just another AF symptom.

So wow, you still take 50,000 IU of vit D once a week. Did your doc ask you to do this?

I only take 2,000 iu vit D3 per day. Perhaps I should be taking more. It's been over a year since i was on the 50,000 iu.

Gavster, you said something that caught my eye... about your having high calcium. Is it above the 'normal' range... above 10? Have you had your parathryroid checked also? I had super high parathryroid levels a year ago... I believe it was because I wasn't absorbing calcium (due to leaky gut/gluten intolerance) and this caused my parathyroid gland to swell. They originally thought it was a tumor, but it wasn't.. they also thought it was b/c of my low vit D but it wasn't. Anyway, the leaky gut/gluten intolerance made my body leach calcium from my bones, driving up my calcium levels and PTH. I had bone pain that I thought was coming from high PTH, but recently, labs show my PTH after a year's time is once again Normal... yay!!! and calcium is now normal.. but the bone pain is still there.
