| In January of 2005 I was diagnosed with FUO (6months) anemia, CFS, Fibromyalgia, night sweats, muscle and joint pain, headaches, etc. After a hospital stay of one month, and many specialists unable to make a definitive diagnosis, I was released from the hospital on prednisone. This provided only temporary relief of my symptoms. I was then treated by Dr Ritchie Shoemaker. After initial testing he diagnosed my condition as Exposure to mold and began treatment with Cholestyramine. After much initial relief but never a complete cure of my symptoms I started on the MP in Oct. of 2006. My doctor started my initial dose of Benicar at 50mgs which was increased to 100mgs about 2 weeks later. The results of my D Metabolites were 1,25-D+57pg/mL and 25D=23ng/mL taken before starting MP. My herxing has been difficult but tolerable. Sometimes lasting for 2 days with severe pain in my arms, legs, shoulders and back. I have been using the Noir sunglasses both indoors and outdoors as my eyes have been extremely sensitive. My Cardio CRP result was 18.9 which I feel explains my low level of energy. I have been trying to avoid all sources of Vit D and Omega 3 (with occasional mishaps) and also trying to stick to a low carb diet (with occasional mishaps). I will try to "hang in there" with these difficult herxes and hope the end result will finally be a life without pain and suffering.
