[quote=Anonymous]My son started growth hormone injections at age 10 and just finished taking them at 16 3/4 years old. He grew along the 50th percentile for height until about age 7 when he started dropping off the curve. He was around the 15th percentile at age 10. Now he above the 99th percentile for height. (FWIW, his mom is 5'11" and his father is 6'5".) He was diagnosed with hypo-pituitarism around age 5, so we knew that he would probably need the injections at some point. He has been taking thyroid medicine since age 5 and will continue that for his whole life. The growth hormone was used during the prime growing years to give him the chance to grow to his "genetic potential." [/quote]
