Here are some of the puzzle pieces.  There are more, but I’m still cataloging and have a pile more reading to do.  I was just turned down to be in a study about how changes in hormone levels can change other hormone levels.  In this case, they are studying the effect of estrogen and progesterone levels on growth hormone production.  Growth hormone production is a piece in the fibro puzzle, so I wanted to see what would happen if I participated.  Rejected…  BUT I’m heartened to know that there is a study about hormone levels affecting other hormone levels.  I’m not way off in right field without a baseball glove…. During football season.
