a:Re: To Everyone: why did my cousin get well with glucophage?

July 11, 2005

Thanks a,

I think am going to quit for now. It has improved treatment

resistant symptoms

very quickly, even MCS, lack of concentration, memory, mood,

anxiety. Stamina greatly improved and very quickly. But I have

nausea,a and somnolesce, some muscle aches. Not sure if this

symptom improvement migh cost me later, like getting lactic

acidosis.

Insulin is powerful hormone that influences other hormones. When

high it can cause a great litany of symptoms common to CFIDS.

I think based what glucophage did for me, that IR is central to my

staying

sick. It is central to our disease. My brain woke up completely

while on the 3 days I took it. Amazing.
