Yea that's the question. Not sure how willing she would be to inject everyday.Originally posted by Juiced1
How likely is it that she would actually take it? I think the concept is good and it would probably help her, but will she take it?
Side note, I keep getting an error when I try to reply to this thread. Only way I can respond is using forum runner on my phone. Weird

I didnt read every single post so I'm not sure if somebody has said this or not. But, I see commericals on tv all the time for HRT clinics for women. Maybe have her look into that??
I tried to explain to my Dad how he should try a low dose of test awhile ago. He is 57 years old and has worked in a steel mill for the past 36 years. He shows all the signs of low test levels. But anything I do or say is "crazy" so it gets dismissed...lol

My mother and I have discussed this frequently over the last few years. She has fibromyalgia and has been terribly disabled by it. She's in her early 50's so age is becoming a significant factor as well. Her various drs and specialists claim they can't prescribe it for her. She is all for it. She eats healthy and exercises regularly (pain permitting).

No nothing to do with stress or anxiety. In short it is a disease that effects the muscles, joints, and tendons causing severe pain and physical disabilities. I can say with absolute confidence that my mother has never had issues with anxiety or stress (outside the typical day to day things). She is one of the most positive, motivated, and upbeat people I know. That is how I know how badly thus has affected her because nothing stands in her way but some days she has no choice but to lay and let the pain run its course.Originally posted by THE BOUNCERI think GH could help with Fibromyalgia in the sense that GH tends to help with stress and anxiety a bit.
Correct me If i am wrong but fibromyalgia, ibs, etc.. are directly connected with people with high stress and anxiety.

"Fibromyalgia is frequently presented with psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety and stress-related disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder.
The brains of fibromyalgia patients show structural and behavioral differences from those of healthy individuals. Some research suggests that these brain anomalies may be the result of childhood stress, or prolonged or severe stress in adulthood."
Not trying to put your mom down or say that her pain isn't real so dont take what I am saying the wrong way bro. Just saying that most of the studies done on Fibro point to stress and anxity and how your brain deals with it.

Which is why some people don't "believe" in it. They think it's psychosomatic. I'm not saying that's the case with your mom, by any means, though!

yea i think its easy to get caught up in "it a mental thing so it must not be real" type argument. this is NOT what i am saying at all. the brain controls physical pain via singles to nerves. it would be stupid to think that the brain itself cannot cause physical pain.Originally posted by FitnessBrat View PostWhich is why some people don't "believe" in it.

Sorry guys. I wasn't bumping it just to bump it. I really am interested in his mom's results if he did put her on GH. My wife is 59 and I am thinking about putting her on GH for pretty much the same reasons as Bouncer stated for his mom.
