Should I Take Something For Fybromyalgia Or Somatomedin C Will Help?

hi, I am 58 years old, have had fybromyalgis for 26 years. Having read a national health insitutes report on military war syndroms, give to the VA last year, and reading a John s Hopikins write up in 2002, pointing at the pituitary gland for the fybromyalgia, and a nonafasive shock treatment to the pituitary giving a great benifit for the pain! But the VA dosn t have the equipment or intrested at all, because of no money, but they like giving pills for thr symptoms, that cause so many side effects that it isn t even worth it! I have arthritis too, and John hopkins says FYBROMYALGIA is a form of ARTHRITIS. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN TAKE TO EFFECT the pituitarary or the somatomedin C to get my system to act properly, targeting the problem, instead? Thank You, Monvfkv

Hi there,

You are right that research has linked low levels of Somatomedin-C with fibromyalgia recently. But to the best of my knowledge, still it is in primary stage and no form of therapy has been approved yet, for rectification of this disturbance of GH-IGF-1 axis.

Hope it helps....
