[quote=Anonymous]My DS has been on HGH shots for 4.5 years, since he was 7 and after he steadily fell from 10th% (at birth through age 3) to below the charts. Some of the related issues were very late teething, very late to lose teeth, slower gross motor issues. We went through a billion rounds of testing to prove that this therapy was needed (it's very expensive so insurers are apt to deny at first but will approve with additional documentation), but the endocrinologist explained that there aren't really side effects because it's just replacing something that should have been in his body all along, like insulin. We do shots at home 6 nights of the week and it has really become very easy to deal with. He is monitored every 3-4 months by xray (bone age scan) and labs by his endocrinologist and based on today's apt, will continue until he is 14 or 15 years old.[/quote]
