[quote=Anonymous]I’m the poster who has the son on growth hormone. I think you should see a pediatric endocrinologist who can do bloodwork to cut through the questions. Everyone on this board is telling their personal stories of growth. But that has nothing to do with your child. Doing growth hormone should be mostly s medical decision based on blood test that shows the growth hormone levels. Growth hormone is more than just growth. It impacts bone development, vitamin absorption etc. the most obvious sign can be short stature but that just ne symptom to identify if there might be a hormone level issue. Seeing a couple of top specialists helped us. It was a medical diagnosis after we had growth tip off the issue. My son is 6 ft but again specialist suggests we continue - as the hormone is significant for bone - cholesterol/ etc all that other stuff. [/quote]
