If I get my vitamin D from the sun, then it really helps me feel

better. During those darker cloudy days, I take a vitamin D supplement.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

I've been told to take at least 2000 mgs. or IU's or whatever it is with

vit. D. It is thought to help with SAD or winter depression. There are so

many variables with FM, I can't really say for sure if it helps or not. I

just know it is important to get enough, so I take the extra vitamins. You

should go for it, in my opinion.
