Human growth hormone for adult Posted: 02-25-08 21:22pm
Hello to anyone and everyone who reads
this, and thank you in advance for any
information or answers you can provide.
I am a 22 year old female, I weigh 75lbs
and I'm 4'7" tall. All of my life I've
tried to accept the fact that I'm
extremely tiny. In my childhood it wasn't
so bad. People mistakenly thought I was a
toddler when I signed up for school, and
through my elementary or primary school
years it wasn't much of an issue. Even
through Middle school and most of High
school I wasn't bothered much about this.
Now that I am a young adult, I'm finding
it hard to deal with.
I am always mistaken for a 12 year old.
Everyone I come in contact with knows that
I am not the age I look because of the
maturity in my voice, the clothes that I
wear, but I constantly get asked "excuse
me, ma'am.. how old are you?" and usually
I shrug it off. It is upsetting but I'm
trying to learn to live with this.
I recently went to get an annual exam at
my GYN's office and it was the first visit
I've had with this specific doctor. He
told me I was abnormally small and asked
me if I ever looked into what may have
caused this. My parents really haven't
done much because I'm a very healthy
person and as a child it never seemed to
bother me. He also asked if I have ever
consulted with an endocrinologist (I think
that is what he spoke of).
Now I know of a young guy, around 15 years
of age I think, who is taking injections
of what I believe is the Human Growth
Hormone. And I know that people of the
older generation take this to slow down
aging (hopefully I'm correct - this is
what I understand from online research)
What I'm asking is if this hormone would
help me. What exactly is this hormone,
what does it do, and am I too old to take
this to get adequate results for what I
would be expecting?
Do you have any info, answers, or words of
wisdom that can help me?
Again, thank you so very much.

Human growth hormone can be very dangerous
if you do not need it.
Side effects include liver DAMAGE, heart
disease, heart failure..etc..
IF you need it, and you use it with a
qualified doctor, it can be safe for the
short term.
This is normally given to VERY young
people. You should seek the advice of an
endocrinologist.
