Hi, my name is Joanne and I just had to write a letter about my recent experience with growth hormone. About 4 months ago, I saw my Endocrinologist and he asked me if anyone has ever tested me for growth hormone deficiencies. I told him no, so he started testing me and found that I was not producing any growth hormone at all. He told me the normal levels for an adult was 81 to 225 and mine was below 25.

Well, I am now on the growth hormone and have been taking it for about 3 months. It is an injection that I have to give myself everyday. I can already see results! My level has already gone up to 91, I am losing weight, my cholesterol level has gone down and my level of heart disease has gone down. I also have more energy. I did experience all of the side effects; swelling of the ankles (the first month), now I have a little joint pain, which the doctor says will go away when my body gets used to it.
I was diagnosed with Cushing's in 1977 when I was 30, now I am 57 and have been on all kinds of replacements ever since. With this new hormone that I am receiving, I am beginning to feel like a new person!! I just thought that I would let you know that for me, it really does work! I'd be happy to talk to anyone who is thinking of trying it.
