Certainly what "we" live with now is enough; we don't need more. Fibro and CFS people don't need brains that continue to deteriorate in functionality. Some folks are already very non-functional when it comes to using their brain successfully. What we do need are answers and if anyone can find out if there is a connection to <b>leptin deficiency</b> and these illnesses, it would be great. Yeah or nay- let's decide.

I'm really hoping that I can get some speakers soon to talk about leptin and weight. If we have a similar "Leptin" dysfunction to what has been discovered in Alzheimer's... well, wow! We should investigate it. According to the article, many of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue symptoms are compared similarly: low energy, weight gain, and cognitive dysfunction. With most people it's bad enough not having their body working properly, but to have the brain so totally dysfunctional feels like the final straw.

I know a lot of us wonder about early Alzheimer's when our brains start to regularly misfire. Some speculation on my part: I've seen research showing that we don't have a greater risk of Alzheimer's than anyone else, which is comforting. Still, I have to wonder if leptin is part of our problem. Maybe it's like in diabetes, where one type (Alzheimer's) doesn't have enough and another type (fibro/ME/CFS) does't use it properly. People think we know everything about the human body, but what we DON'T know is staggering -- especially when it comes to the brain. My opinion? Leave no stone unturned! I think our researchers need to spend a lot more time looking at <a href="http://chronicfatigue.about.com/od/symptoms/a/brainfog.htm" rel="nofollow">brain fog</a>. It may not be "just" a symptom; it could be what's behind everything else. When the command center's not working right, how can you expect ANYTHING to? Great topic, Cinda!
