I was diagnosed with Panhypopituitarism with an Adrenal Deficiency the day after being released from the hospital from being born. I have injected myself roughly 6000+ times with HGH.

Get the hell out of here lance, no one is falling for your lies anymore

I don't get the reference so I'll just go cry in a corner.

You didn't say AMA. You've got to say AMA. Just say it.

What are your symptoms? Aside from HGH, do you take any others meds? How does this affect your life, either negatively or positively? Thank you for sharing.

Symptoms: Headaches, Mood Swings, Hallucinations/Daydreaming

These are caused when I miss a dose I begin to feel a little off, and often experience headaches. Mood swings depend, many of it is based on other factors such as news but there are some days where I am very happy and nothing can ruin my mood, and then a few hours later I begin to recognize the negative aspects and become disgruntled. Aside from HGH in the form of daily injection, I use Androgel to stimulate my testosterone levels. In addition, I take Hydrocortisone to regulate my metabolism and blood pressure. Hallucinations/Daydreaming: This rarely happens to be honest.

I'm curious about the hallucinations, if you wouldn't mind elaborating on them a little bit. How intense/vivid are they? Do you know they're going to happen before they happen? Have you ever had a hallucination at a dangerous time, like while driving?

I'm 18, I don't drive to school I walk everywhere I want to go for personal reasons I guess. But I don't know that they are going to happen, it's just me zoning out and then daydreaming, and then my vision gets altered and everything seems so enhanced a weird.

I also have an adrenal gland problem called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, anyway, one of the thing's i have to do every couple of months is get my blood tested, my question is are you eligible to donate blood? Or what are some things you can't partake in due to your condition? Like in my case, i can't donate blood.

I cannot donate blood. I cannot reproduce (still talking to my endocrinologist about this long-term).

Does this preclude you from playing any professional sports?

As in due to your injections?

I was cleared to tryout (didn't make the team) for basketball in eighth grade. But professionally, I would guess that this would make me illegible for any type of sport.

You might want to know that the world's best football (soccer) player, Lionel Messi, suffers from growth hormone deficiency.

That's amazing to hear, I did not know that at all.

I don't use the HGH as a heroin addiction where I shoot up. i will eventually get off the medication at age 21 (crossing my fingers). It's always at the back of my mind that I will miss a dose and feel dopey.

How jacked are you?

I have to say that I have a lot of muscle that I have no idea where it came from. My abs are freakishly tight and I do not even lift not even once. I worked up to like the bar and 30 additional pounds which is pathetic but I'm not super jacked up.

I gained an inch in height and put on 30 pounds using HGH. I'm amazed that you were born with a deficiency but still ended up being 6'4".

My doctor said the same exact thing. I'm 18 so I still have 3 years of growing to go. I never had a traditional puberty, as most of what happened was hormone-induced that was through Androgel. When I was at my peak growing years, I was consistently growing 3-4 inches a year for 5 years ages (10-15).

A fellow hypo pit! Exact same story, literally. I was born in England though, so I couldn't get my meds until 6 months later and almost died. Fun!

oh god that's terrible.

Have you had any negative side effects from the growth hormone? my brother, sister, and I all have adrenal disease and had to inject ourselves with growth hormone when we were younger. My brother, probably because of the growth hormone, had his knee shatter from a small fall while playing soccer

Day to day, no. Long term, who knows? Nothing has been disproved/proved yet but there seems to be nothing majorly wrong with taking HGH when your pituitary gland can't provide hormones for growth by itself.

Do you even lift?

See above, I answered this. But I rarely lift.

How often do you inject yourself? Daily, weekly?

Once a day. My mother used to inject me when I was younger but at age 10 roughly I started myself. I still remember the first time my mother wanted me to eventually learn how to inject myself, so I remember injecting myself for the first time.

No. Average sized. If someone goes untreated, they can be stuck with a micropenis.

There has been speculation about the use of human growth hormone being linked to diabetes and cancer. As of today, there is no association and they are conducting research on it. Elevated cholesterol levels and blood pressure could be a side effect. After a long time, the HGH can mess with your bones and cause osteoporosis so it's important for me to get enough vitamin and calcium especially. Much OJ has been drunken here.

How about no

About tree fiddy.

Do you have miniscule testes?

I went through "regularish" puberty through the supplement of Androgel. So no.
