I don’t have much time right now, but my daughter wasn’t growing either.  She had slowly but surely fallen off the growth charts and no one seemed to care but me.  After much research and help from others on this board we decided to switch her doses to 4 times a day and try to closely mimic the body’s natural secretion peaks according to the circadium rhythm. (Doses at 3am, 7am, noon and 5:30pm)  This has helped dramatically!!  She is now at 60% with bone age and levels on track!!!!   At first her endo didn’t credit the schedule change but now she does.  If you look at her growth chart right when we switched she started growing!  I just knew that with a father who is 6foo 5 inches and a mother at 5 feet 8 that she should be taller than she was.  I believe that some are sensitive to the cortef and show it in different ways (weight gain or height slow growth).  If you are interested I can write more when I have time.  Good luck.  Julia
