Tiredness, Numbness In Hands And Fingers, Muscle And Joint Pain. Having Fibromyalgia. Suggestions?

I am 58 yr old female, 50-60 lbs overweight. I have been extremely tired lately, but more annoying is I have been having numbness in my hands and fingers, and chronic muscle and joint pain. At one point I was told I had fibromyalgia, but I was wondering if perhaps I could also or rather have vitamin D and or Potassium deficiencies. I really need to feel better. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B 12 deficiency, Calcium and Vit D3 deficiency etc. Most of the times these symptoms can be taken care of by taking electrolyte rich fluids, Methylcobalamin, calcium and vit D3 supplements.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
