I have issues with that too -- though I also get cold easily. I seem
to be comfortable only in a very narrow temperature range :-). It
will be interesting to see if this helps.


I think the lipoma has reduced some, but it's really too soon to tell.
However, I am willing to be the guinea pig and let you know how it
goes.

BTW, I only noticed the lipoma recently, and I've been normal weight
for years. So I don't think body weight has much to do with getting
these things.


I didn't mean to suggest that, but rather that the fat covered it up
:-).

I'm glad you're fine, Barbara. That's interesting about the lipoma.
I too have one -- in my lower back. I'm not sure how long I've had
it, but it became more apparent as I lost weight. I'd not heard of
CoQ10 being used for that, but I have some on hand and will give it a
try. What dose do you take?


Chris,

I figured out how I gave myself the lipoma. They're almost always from
impact injuries. How I got mine is almost to stupid to tell, but here
goes. When I go to the trash room, I hold the door open with my butt,
while I use one hand to hold the trash can and one hand to open the
trash chute. Sometimes the door knob hits me right above my left butt
cheek. I've been living in the same place for 17 years, so that's a
lot of getting hit in the butt with a door knob.

I didn't figure it out til the day after my MRI.

CoQ10 declines in aging. I started taking it because with all the
Marty stress I started going through menopause early (for my family),
and was having terrible night sweats. Coenzyme Q10 increases
mitochondria in cells, and plays a role in temperature regulation, so
my nutritionist suggested I give it a try. She'd had great success
with a couple of her other clients. I'll give you journal references
later, if you're interested. I'm sorta pooped right now.

Anyway, increasing mitochondria, also increases fat oxidation, but I
didn't notice the lipoma getting any smaller. However, I was only
taking 150 mg for the night sweats.

So I bought 400 mg softgels, and am taking them 2x a day. The one
thing I have noticed is a drastic improvement in temperature
regulation. I overheat very easily. So that alone is worth the extra
money it's costing me.

Thanks for the info. I don't think it was the weight that had anything to
do with getting them, just making it easier to notice them.

According to
http://www.hmc.psu.edu/healthinfo/jkl/lipoma.htm
they are more common in people who are overweight - I don't know if
that's correct.

I assumed that the walnut sized lump I have in my back, above my waist
and to one side of my spine, which I've had for about 30 years was a
lipoma but I now see it says here they don't get smaller with weight
loss. Mine, along with a similar lump in the soft flesh in my upper
arm, come and go when I gain and lose weight (the one on my back is
always obvious as I carry hardly any of my fat there) - so I now
assume I have just lumps of concentrated fat. Do these have a name
too, does anyone know?

Barb, you mentioned improved mitochondria function. Do you know if Q10
helps with insulin sensitivity? Just curious, somehow, I do not feel
that taking it is wise at my age, but I would like to learn a bit.


There's some literature suggesting it might. Co Q10 helps prevent beta
cell failure and reduces the inflammatory proteins TNF-a and IL-5,
which are the target of an investigational diabetes drug. See:

Insulin resistance: lifestyle and nutritional interventions. Kelly GS.
Altern Med Rev. 2000 Apr;5(2):109-32.

http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/5/2/109.pdf

This one's easy reading.
