GH with pituitary adenoma?

[Capin]

My wife wants to try GH she has seen how well it works for me, but she has a pituitary adenoma "a bening tumor in her pituitary gland" It has caused problems with her endocrine system in the past. So I am reluctant to see her use GH
Although the GH is exogenous I still am concerned it will stimulate her pituitary, and we don't want to do anything along those lines.
I would be interested in hearing what you guys have to say.

YOU ARE CRAZY FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT.

Do not even go close to exogenous GH with any pituitary neoplasia, benign or otherwise. GH causes cells to replicate at a much faster rate which in turn cause skin to become more youthful and recovery becomes faster. Using exogenous GH even in minute amounts could cause extreme havoc on the adenoma, causing it to increase in size to where extreme amounts of GH and other hormones are released into her system, and even make it so large that surgical invention is required for her to even live a normal life. Show her pictures of post pubescent acromegaly cases, she will no longer consider using it. I tell friends and others that consider using it to research research research, then if they tell me there is immediate family history of any neoplasia or insulin sensitivity (which causes a diabetic hyperglycemia like state of which can lead to DKA "diabetic ketoacidosis" - which can be fatal), i tell them to stay far far away. Trust me, as a health professional (Veterinarian) I deal with idiots all day long. Please don't become one of them!!!

Thanks for your input very informative I showed it to the wife. Initially I told her it wasn't a good idea of course she asked why. But I didn't have an educated answer.
