re: re: re: Has anyone opted out of Growth Hormone / Aromatase Inhibitors?

Despite the name, you don't have to have growth issues to be GH deficient. It's scary that your doctor wants to put your child on replacements when you don't even know for sure what the situation is. You need to demand an Arginine stim test which unfortunately takes a few hours to do, but tells you for sure what growth hormone levels are. Do not settle for an IGF1 stim test which is one quick draw and checks levels at that very second. Like any hormone, GH can spike one minute and drop the next, so you need to see what the levels truly are in a controlled test like the one I mentioned. A doctor can't just randomly start someone off on growth hormone because every person has different tolerance levels, and as you become more used to the injections, the dose can be raised. Please get your child checked.
