Vit D in Oregon....;and B12

[Guest guest]

I take 2000 IUs of D per day. I live in Salem, OR & see a couple great

Drs in Portland. One told me that just about everyone is low in D in

Oregon (I guess PacNW in general as well!)....no sun! It is supposed

to help with joint pain. I dont know if it really does or not. It

takes a combination of things for me. I am on celebrex & lryica as

well. I still have flares, but not necessarily daily pain (unless my

life is super stressful, which it usually is!!).

I also take B12 shots every day. The Dr suspects I have pernicious

anemia. If I stop taking them for more than a few days, I crash! I get

that really irritating (and painful) tingling in my arms & legs again,

fatigue, fogginess, etc.
