There are many vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function from day to day. Suffers of Fibromyalgia are often at high risk for many of them and don’t know it. We often don’t think of them because our diet often provides enough to keep our bodies going. However sometimes other conditions & medications make it hard for our bodies to absorb the proper amounts we need daily.
Below is a list of Signs & Symptoms of some deficiencies often hard to detect:
Magnesium Deficiency:
Symptoms:
Muscle Cramps
Anxiety
Spasms
Irritability
Fatigue
Low Energy
Headaches
Sleep Disorders
Potassium Deficiency:
Symptoms:
Fatigue
Weakness
Nausea or Vomiting
Tingling or numbness in feet and hands
palpitations
Constipation
Severe Symptoms:
Low blood pressure
Confusion [hallucinations]
abnormal Heart Rhythms [arrhythmia]
Most of these symptoms can be seen in many other conditions which explains why they are frequently over looked. They can be detected early if you have a CBC done or a [Complex Blood Count] with a request from you doctor. Having a blood test twice a year can catch conditions often hard to diagnosis. Stay tuned tomorrow when we talk about Vitamin B 12 and Vitamin D Deficiency.
Until then,
Be Pro-Active in your health!

Thank you for the information. Diet is very important, including the right supplement. I have found that bone activating proteins have given my body an improvement.
