HGH & FMS Experiment

Thumper tries HGH for Fibromyalgia symptoms... film at 11

Fibromyalgia is Latin for "Holy Frijole, everything on me freaking hurts." Or something like that...

Still...there are no whiners here.

Imagine...

...having a Charlie horse--all over your body.

...having the flu--all the time.

...feeling like you've been backed over by a tractor...every single day.

...waking up and being afraid to step out of bed because you know--without a doubt--that when your foot hits the floor, a knife will cut through your body, and the feeling won't stop.

...not being able to sleep.

...fatigue seeping from every pore of your body, running in thick rivers that pool at your feet like concrete shoes.

...feeling like every muscle in your body is on fire, and nothing will put it out.

...feeling like you're about to come apart at the seams--and your doctor tells you it's "All In Your Head."

Just Imagine.

One of the theories about Fibromyalgia Syndrome is that there may be an endocrinological base--that the pain associated with FMS may exist because of a lack of, or the body's inability to use existing supplies of, Growth Hormone.

On June 26, 2002, I had a tumor removed from my pituitary gland; this tumor left me with diabetes insipidus, premature menopuase, and as discovered recently, a lack of Growth Hormone.

The problem is, no one knows how long the tumor was there, and no one knows whether or not I was deficient in Growth Hormone prior to developing the tumor.

Because of some of the studies regarding Fibromyalgia--something I have lived with since January 1997--and Human Growth Hormone, I have opted to give HGH replacement a try. It may be a way to work past the pain of FMS, a way to build lean muscle mass, lose body fat, and hopefully, offer measureable hope to recovery.

This blog will chronicle my progress, or lack of it. I will include details of how it makes me feel, the exercise routines I will use to help speed up loss of body fat, dietary changes, and any changes in body shape and pain reduction.

Ok...I think it's time for me to admit this blog just isn't going anywhere. For the longest time I had nothing to blog other than "well, I still feel great, the HGH is obviously working..."

And on the FMS front, it still is.

However.

I am in pain. Lots of pain. It wrapped itself around my lower back and crept into my right hip, and didn't let go. After x-rays and an MRI and lots of bloodwork, it's been determined that I have a wonderful case of arthritis in my back and hip.

So until I get that under control, I doubt I'll be blogging about the wonders of HGH. I'm leaving the blog up and the archives available for anyone new surfing in hoping for info on FMS and HGH...it really did do wonders for me. I'm still taking it and won't quit until I'm told to (I don't know if it will accelerate the spread of arthritis; I do know that if one has an actively frowing tumor or cancer, HGH treatment is stopped because it can cause rapidly growth of abnormal cells...)

So.
See ya later.
Take care.
My other blog is still Thumper Thinks Out Loud. You're more than welcome to read me whine over there...
