Growth Hormone Reviews

I am 4'9" and the doctors said that I would have probably been around 4'5" without the growth hormone injections.

I am 46 now but when I was 13 and was diagnoised with Turner Syndrome I was 4'4". I am now 4'11" because of the growth hormone. My hands and fingers are very big. My head is small and I didn't have periods since 13 when the Doctor put me on Estregon and Proveria. I don't think I spelled them correctly but I didn't develop as girls my age. I have diabetis and severe hearing problems. I had to have to have manmade vibrating bonnes and eardrum put in each ear. Roseslove

I had some very few side effects with the growth hormone itself. Of course I got growing pains and bruising at the injections but other then that I didn't feel much. I did work pretty well actually I am now almost 5'2.
