This is something that was posted on the EDS boards, but I thought you all might want to see it as well.
Researchers identify molecule responsible for pain tolerance 11/08/2006 Researchers have identified a molecule that may influence people's pain tolerance and reduce their risk of experiencing chronic pain, according to a study in the November issue of Nature Medicine. For the study, Massachusetts General Hospital researchers analyzed the gene sequences of hundreds of volunteers to home in on a specific haplotype-a set of gene variations that are inherited together-that was present in about 25% of the study population. The haplotype, known as GCH1, reduces the production of the pain-producing molecule BH4, which is "required for the production of major neurotransmitter chemicals" and-at low levels-reduces pain sensitivity. The researchers note that their findings mark the "first evidence of a genetic contribution to the risk of developing neuropathic pain" and say the results could lead to new preventive strategies and treatments for chronic pain sufferers (HealthDay, 10/26).

DocJohn put this on the front page http://psychcentral.com/news/2006/11...pressed-women/ It talks about depression, but how it is connected to
the pain center chemicals too! This is so great to hear, for me!

Yeah - PSISCI (from todays chat) told us that Psychology and Pain is often connected to one and another.....
BTW - He is a Psych Doc and he was hosting a chat on different types of medicines. .... I really enjoyed the Chat today (and) I learned a lot. LoVe, Rhapsody -

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
