To make a long story short I failed a GH stimulation test this week. The test was a last resort as the ENDO ruled out everything else under the sun before he would give me the test. This includes MRIs, genetic testing and a ton of cortisol testing. This all started because I was having a really hard time losing weight. I know what I am doing lost 150 pounds before kept off for 3 years then put back on 60 pounds. I was doing every I did before and nothing except water weight in the first week. I knew something was up after 6-8 weeks of no weight loss so went to the doctor to find out what was wrong.
I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue? I was looking for a good support group and a good place to read up on it. So many of the links in a search are from black market pharmacy type places or people looking to get HGH with no RX. The legit places I have found are pretty much dedicated to children of short stature. Was hoping to find a good forum with adults with GHD.
My wife and I are kind of scared because we don't think insurance will cover treatment. Because I have the rare GHD where there are no other pituitary issues and the cause is unknown. Reading what my insurance company has online I will be denied. What little I can find on cost of treatment is just crazy.
