How effective is natural hormone replacement in fibromyalgia?

Possibly: It all depends on whether or not there is a hormone deficiency of some kind to begin with. And if so, it could be helpful especially to one's energy levels or sense of well being. This would be especially useful around perimenopause and menopause as well if one has fibromyalgia.

Separate issues: I treat hormone replacement issues in males and females if the meet the criteria and need. If hormonal studies are normal, I do not use hormones as a specific treatment for fibromyalgia. While hormone abnormalities may magnify symptoms of fibromyalgia, they are not considered a direct cause or a specific treatment for that condition.

Possibility of good: When you check the saliva test of a patient with fibromyalgia, you often find several deficiencies. Treat what you find to be deficient and the possibility of good results is high.
