My body produces Zero Growth Hormone

[dragonfire101]

So I went for a second opinion to another Endo. He ran a Growth Hormone Test. I make Zero. This was not your regular testing for IGF-1 ,which mine is low. The lab sheet said they could not give a result on GH because I only had .1 level which was below there lowest range to even measure. So I have to go for another test taht is even more specific and doctor says if I come back low on this test it is documentation for him to prescribe an insurance will cover.

Good deal!!-but are you or did you just come off a GH cycle?(your pituitary might be shut)-even if you are using IGF-1 it can cause this.

Nope. I have had endocrine issues for the past 4 years with suspected autoimmune disorder, which they can't figure out. Only thing I have taken in 4 years is Test at most 200mg a week.

He'd diagnosing me as polyglandular deficiency syndrome with suspected autoimmune cause. None of by endocrine glands are actually working. Two previous MRI showed a suspected microadenoma, but must recent MRI 3rd shows none.
