I have had the GHD stimulation onced and my new endo is going to do it again because the IGF-1 was 79 and has lowered to 64. I had my tumor removed in 2002 and as far as I know the doctor got it all. I have been so fatiqued I just would not have know how bad it could be until I got it. My new endo said 4 of my hormones are low. Thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, and GH.. I have been on thyroid for along time. The cortisol was supposed to be back to normal but not by my new doctor. He put me on the cortisone but it did not help the fatique so he is lowering that dose. He wants to check the GH which I think would make me feel so much better but I don't know if it is low enough yet. I read that you need to take it while you are sleeping, that is when you get a true reading. If I can't use the GH the next step will be the estrogen. My question to you is what have your IGF-1 readings been? I hope you are better and I hope your tumor is shrinking!!  Lawana View other groups in this category.
