sandra ,i believe that bone x-rays are very important ,My doctor(doctors)believed that i would have probably ended up shorter than my height now(5’3")the trick was slowing down the growth.As far as medicine goes,I never had to take it at a specific time,except the main rule was first thing in the morning,but my family and I believe that the secret of my succes (if you want to call it that) was plenty of excersize. The other thing I wanted to say was that the height should not be as important as the hormones,you don’t want to play with that,uping the doses changes the hormones a certain way(its confusing for me too)I am 24 and am considering a up on dosage myself ,soo when you think about it ,it’s kind of a guessing and adjusting game ,just have patience ,don’t get too worked up and I’m sure all will be welldavid petty
