In my case it was a vitamin D3 deficiency. For 20 years I was using sunscreen to protect myself against skin cancer and early aging. Accidentally I run myself into D3 deficiency which wasn’t too difficult if one lives in Canada. For years I also had alopecia areata, and then around age 40 I got rheumatoid arthritis, both autoimmune diseases. My joints in fingers where hurting like crazy all the time. Thanks to Mr. Google, some medical tests and knowing history of my health I deduced that my immune system could be out of whack from lack of vitamin D3. I went to the Safeway got a bottle of D3. Three days later the pain was going away. After couple of months it was gone. Now, 5 years later, no signs of arthritis or alopecia. I’m still using sunscreen, but I take 2 000 IU of D3 in summer and 4 000 in winter.
I have a genetic predisposition to these diseases from my mother side. She had them both too.
Let me know if D3 works for you too. I wish you luck.
PS. For good few months I'm taking B 50 (complex), half a pill a day.
I’d swear I feel better with more energy. Possibly my body regenerates in faster rate. Before that I could feel my joints in hands acting sometimes with intense physical activity. Now even this little acting of arthritis is gone. Also I can go outside without sunglasses now, and my gums stopped bleeding while flossing, plus few other minor improvements. So far I didn’t notice any adverse effects form both vitamins.
