[quote=Anonymous]We started seeing an endocrinologist when my DS turned 10 after his growth dropped from 75th% to 15th%. He failed his growth hormone stimulation test and was diagnosed with hypo-pituitarism. He received growth hormone shots from age 10 to age 16. He started taking supplemental thyroid medication as well (and will likely continue that throughout his life). He did not enter puberty until he was 15 and never really had a growth spurt; he just grew slowly and continuously. He even added an inch at age 20.[/quote]
