Tweetthis would be like hrt..something she could run consistently and it not effect hormonal levels.

TweetI think it would be a much better idea to find whats actually causing the issue with her health and directly fix the problem. Most women run gh at 1-2 iu a day though.

TweetVery complex James. She has had a myriad of surgeries..having to do with female. She has constant pelvic pain and is always fatigued. She is on synthroid, metformin, an anti-anxiety med..the med starts with an "E" but i cant remember at the moment, and zantac. She see a hormonal dr, but I do not think he is keeping her hormonal levels stable, and has seen countless drs/endos for the pelvic pain and nothing has helped. Also did numerous ct and mris.

TweetThe anxiety med is Efexor

TweetI don't know, I'd caution it...remember gh can and will magnify issues...do if it's cancer or something that has the ability to grow causing issues I'd steer clear...

TweetNo, she has no cancer or i do not really know if there is any in her family..Good point. I really do not like the idea for her, but she wanted me to ask for her. She wants to feel more energy and help with fat loss or to increase metabolism. I do not think clen for her would be wise, so I am trying to think of an alternative.

TweetMaybe the green coffee bean will help her? been hearing about it. I may try it out.

TweetTell her to find a new doc that will properly keep her hormones stable.

TweetI have many times James, but you know how some ppl can be with their dr's.. I think he is a quack..He give her the pellet injections of estrogen and test, but it is at on given intervals, but only when she gets symptomatic, like hot flushes, fatigue, insomnia. He imo is not stabilizing her hormonal balance. She has been seeing him for over 5 years and her emotional and physical problems have not really changed. In fact they have gotten worse. Thing is..it is hard to find a hormone dr here that will do test or the pellets, but I personally think the orals would do her better. He says there is more prone to getting clots and issues like that, but she would be at a low dosage. At least she would be getting a consistent amount. I just think he wants the insurance money, because to inject the pellets it is considered a procedure where he gets 300 per treatment and with the orals he would not be able to bill the insurance for this. I told her I can get estrogen and inject her, but she is hard headed lol I dont like seeing her like this James

Tweetyea...thats a tuff one. i'd hate to give a opinion and find out she took a turn for the worst. like said already by james, 1 to 2iu's is what i've read that females would use.

Tweetyou mentioned effexor a ssnri and xanax, but michelle you wrote zantac, the half life of xanax can make it seem its hormonal when all it is xanax leaving the body to soon making her hormonal. maybe the dr could try klonopin for anxiety as its half life is 56 hrs i believe compared to 4 hrs with xanax. and effexor is a antidepressant that can cause alot of problems including increase in bp that could make her seem jitery. you might want to have her current meds switched and see how she does. xanax is a very addicting drug some dr think its harder to come off of then heroin. i would talk to her about weaning off xanax and trying klonopin. imo.......as far as hgh i dont want to give a opinion and something i dont use have it go haywire. good luck michelle.
