    Achilles Reflex Test Used To Diagnose Hypothyroidism

    Pyroluria

    Has anyone heard of pyroluria or the methylation cycle. People who have this disorder are unable to make serotonin efficently due to issues with their methylation cycle. Are these people, then the lucky ones?

    Fibromyalgia (FMS) Through The Ray Peat Prism

    Glad to see this again. About my fibromyalgia (FMS)... I've possibly had this my whole life. Had polio as a child. Wasn't left with any disablity that showed. My first real problems occurred when I got married and pregnant. I didn't connect the physical problems with the polio back then...

    Do Things Sometimes Get Worse Before They Get Better?

I'm guessing he probably doesn't like them: for the same reasons he doesn't like stressful exercise, and the same reasons he doesn't like fasting. I'm guessing it's an energy...
