Tell us about your personal experience with HGH as a treatment: Has it worked? Have you had any issues? Any recommendations or tips?

I use Xyrem, (sodium oxybate) which causes my body to produce more human growth hormone while I sleep. Been using it for many years, the restorative sleep has gotten me out of the bed and back into life.

It's only by prescription, is very expensive, and finally turns off my brain. At least for 4 hours. Then I awake and take the second dose. I am hoping more of us will use it as it does do away with the morning stifness, headaches and some of the pain.

I went to mayo clinic and read about HGH human growth hormone. Seems the side effects are similair to having fibro. Maybe thats what they want to know if our fibro is from taking HGH.

Where did this post come from? It has a six-year-old date. My first clue was the reference in reply #2 to Doug.

Lol I don't look at dates and don't have a clue if a Doug is tea ds or not. Where do they find these post?..

Doug was the original owner. Wish he was still here. Things actually worked right then.
