Message: <blockquote data-quote="misty1960" data-source="post: 502300" data-attributes="member: 99998">Hi ,Dont know if this will be of any help or interest to you . I have been type one for  17 years. I had pain for approx 7 years, in my knees , hips and then also arms , shoulders and hands. My consultant was not interested. I was given various pain relief to try, most did not touch pain. I was referred to another consultant who was both interested and sympathetic, he did blood tests , found I was vitamin d deficient and prescribed 3 x 1 monthly injections of vitamin d . I felt better after first injection . Have now been almost pain free for 5 months . I have had times where I thought pain might be returning but only slightly. I go for long walks, sleep a lot better and am more or less pain free. I feel I have had to cope with pain for so long that now if I feel any pain at all I start to panic thinking it might return! I realise although this has helped me it may not be solution for anyone else . I would suggest googling vitamin d deficiency for info and speak to gp and consultant . This is my first post on here and hope it may be of use.</blockquote>
