    Anybody take Human Growth Hormone (HGH)? Your Experience?

    I am sure. My prescription for Genotropin would cost me $2000/month without insurance. Many people still have to use copay assistance programs to afford it even with insurance.

I was part of the trials for the synthetic version when hgh was banned. I have been taking it as an adult for 3 years now. It is a huge blessing for people...

    Weird IGF-1 results

    I just had some labs done and one thing I find kind of odd. When I am on .5mg of genotropin my levels are around 196 so doc will raise my dose to .6mg and it will shoot up to 336. Seems kind of odd the drastic level changes. Doc is thinking it may be due to no longer having infection in my body...

    Long-Acting GH Deficiency Treatments to Boost Market Growth from 2017

    The daily injections can be a pain in the ass sometimes. The delivery system depends on the brand. I liked the Norditropin delivery but really hate the Genotropin one. Some say the Genotropin mini quicks are easier but my insurance will not cover it. My complaint is to many injections in a week...

    Does Modafinil Work For Energy?

    My testosterone without reason suddenly took a huge dive downwards. Without a change in amount taken or any change in protycol such as type of med or injection site. It went from 600 down to 237 suddenly.

    Thoughts on these test results

    If I could get my endocrinologist to run that test I would be excited. For now it has to wait until I get some cash. That's a pretty expensive test. Part of my problem is not hyperthyroidism it is all my levels for thyroid, testosterone and igf-1 tanked for some unknown reason. For example my...
