Vitamin D and fibromyalgia: a meta-analysis
Abstract
Vitamin D is a cofactor responsible for autoimmune disorders. There is no agreement in the studies investigating
the association between vitamin D and fibromyalgia. This study aims to combine the conflicting results of the
primary studies which compared these patients with control groups regarding the serum concentration of
vitamin D. This meta-analysis has been designed based on PRISMA guidelines. Relevant keywords were
searched in PubMed, Science direct, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google scholar and primary studies were selected.

The role of diet in the treatment of fibromyalgia

“To date, no treatment alone provides extensive symptom relief, which leads patients to wonder whether or not diet, as something directly in their control, could be modulated to lead to improvement.”
“Future research attempting to modulate glutamatergic neurotransmission should also include measurement
of the dietary intake and plasma levels of these micronutrients, since ...

Response to Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Fibromyalgia
Abstract
Background: Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, also called chronic fatigue syndrome) may respond most favorably to frequent vitamin B12 injections, in vital combination with oral folic acid. However, there is no established algorithm for individualized optimal dosages, and rate of improvement may differ considerably between responders.
Objective: To evaluate clinical data from patients with ME, with or without fibromyalgia, who had been
on B12 injections at least once a week for ...
