Fibromyalgia develops slowly over many years, making the condition very difficult to diagnose in the early stages. If any other family members have it, your chances of having it are increased. In one study, 75% of urine specimens obtained from CFS patients contained elevated levels of 5-HIAA, (5-hyroxyindole acetic acid), a breakdown product of serotonin. CFS and fibromyalgia are not "all or nothing" problems. DHEA and 7-Keto DHEA may be useful; routine endocrine tests are normal in suspected cases of fibromyalgia. Growth hormone deficiency in adults has been associated with many symptoms that are similar to those described by fibromyalgia patients: low energy, poor general health, reduced exercise capacity, muscle weakness, cold intolerance, impaired cognition, dysthymia and decreased lean body mass. Expect withdrawal symptoms during the first week. Get as much sleep as you need, or at least eight hours per night.
