I was like this. Saw a new rheumatologist who took my various symptoms seriously. Turns out I'm chronically deficient in vitamin D. Had to take weekly megadosea for 3 months and now I'm on a daily supplement of a lower dose. I also started hydroxychloroquine for whatever autoimmune disease I have (I'll hopefully be getting a formal diagnosis on the 16th)
I feel so much better than I did. I actually have a life now and can go out and do things I enjoy.
Absolute life-changing treatment. I've been trying to get rheumatologists to take me seriously for 20 years.
My wife and I turned up low in vitamin D too. We're on the megadoses. She is, I'm doing good since it's still summer. I'm going back to megadoses as soon as the sun stops showing up. Anyway I was just going to ask if your sleeping improved. My wife can't sleep. I sleep like a baby, but I have a strong suspicion that I got some immunological problem going on because I have a permanent elbow pain and a reoccurring rib cage pain. Getting old...
I'm a big fan of magnesium citrate or chelated magnesium for more restful sleep, might be worth a shot. Not a doctor though.
"Magnesium Glycinate" is the one I choose for daily use. Magnesium Citrate is great at getting those Mg levels up initially; but for daily maintenance, I prefer the glycinate version. They kinda have their own use-cases imo
