I had growth hormone deficiency too! Diagnosed when I was 6 years old (currently 33) and started taking growth hormone shots. My doctor said I’d be lucky to reach 5’2” and I’m 5’7”!! My doctor had me stop when I was 16, may I ask the reason you’re still on it?

I had some issues develop after I stopped and wondered if they were related at all. I did go see an endocrinologist but they said my levels were good to maintain

My appetite plummeted and every time I ate or drank anything, I’d get nauseous and light headed almost. Eating became a chore, I was so hungry but it made me feel like shit, but I forced myself to eat because I knew I needed it. Spent ten years going to different doctors to figure it out, but no one could. I weighed like 150-160 throughout high school, but once I stopped I lost 30lbs in the first month or so because I could eat.

It’s been better the last 8yrs or so, pretty much the time I’ve been with my wife.

I still have my days where ill just not eat. I got so used to feeling that pit in your stomach that it doesn’t bother me much when I get it. My wife gets mad when that happens, I know it’s bad haha

I’ve been going to the gym regularly recently, which I’ve seen has helped a lot in my energy and eating habits
