Like many celiacs, I don't absorb nutrients very well.  I must depend on
an extremely strict diet & supplements to keep me going.  I was recently
diagnosed with macrocytic anemia due to folic acid dificiency.  For the
past 6 weeks my symptoms were gross fatigue and more recently tight
painful muscles.  I've also started a new job which is, of course, a
stressor & could be causing the muscle tension.  On my way home from work
yesterday, I picked up a new prescription for folic acid, a B vitamin.  I
came home unusually exhausted & with muscle pain.  I ate a light dinner,
took a folic acid pill & hit the sack.  Two hours later, I awakened
completely pain free with relaxed softened muscles for the first time in
over a week.  What I'm wondering is if the folic acid supplement could be
responsible for the relief or if the relief I received was due to the nap
I took & simply a coincidence that it was after taking the folic acid?
Have any of you had similar experiences with folic acid or other B
vitamins?  Any opinions?  "Inquiring minds want to know!"  LOL! ~Valerie
