[quote=Anonymous]I am looking for advice from parents who have had to choose between treating a child with HGH deficiency or not. DD has been seeing an endocrinologist and HGH treatment may be medically recommended, but my husband and I are extremely uncomfortable with the risks and side effects of the drugs, and also concerned it sends a message to DD that she is sick and needs treatment. Full disclosure, DD hasn’t been diagnosed with HGH deficiency yet. She has been diagnosed with IGF1 deficiency and delayed bone growth and further HGH testing is advised. But we are wondering if we should even subject DD to the testing if we are opposed to the treatment. We are trying to weigh the long term risks of treatment with the consequences of an untreated deficiency and it’s not an easy decision.[/quote]
