I finally officially started GH & have been on it for 7 months. Around the 5th month I really started noticing more positive changes however not quite enough. Dr Valika and I checked my levels and they are still not anywhere near optimal so she increased them just about a week ago. I have met a wonderful pain specialist who's helping me w my leg/feet pain. Overall I have gone through so much, and can't believe I am where I am. I'm beginning to lose weight, Ive lost 10in off my stomach alone. My sleep has improved, It's amazing what finally getting some of the hormones balanced will do. Although GH takes a while to build up and it's still not at an optimal level it's getting better. In balancing hormones and taking the edge off of pain I've really been able to do more and be more active. I still have my days. I don't want anyone to think everything is 100%.  I'm just finally closer to my "new normal". For once, in a VE

Hey There! Happy New Year! I so hope your enjoying the new year, and many blessings are headed your way this year! I have a few VERY exciting things to report: 1.) As I mentioned in my summer post, that I realized didn't post until now I FINALLY was able to get GH prescribed and covered by Insurance!  I have been on it for about 10 months now.  After the first 5 or 6 months I really started noticing changes and then after a couple months I reached a plateau.  Figuring out the dosage and managing the hormones is such a huge task, but one I am grateful to have to opportunity to do!! & 2) The EPIC Foundation (epictogether.org) has launched and not only am I the Person of the month this month, but I was asked to work for them as Lead Advocacy Specialist!  I could not be more thrilled for this opportunity!
