Hormones are the most powerful molecules in our bodies, controlling the function, growth reproduction, metabolism, and repair of every cell. Our bodies require optimal hormone levels, just as they require optimal levels of essential vitanutrients: vitamins, fats, amino acids, and minerals. Our hormone levels are generally optimal in our youthful years--our early twenties--but many begin to fall soon afterwards and continue to decline with increasing age.
TSH is a pituitary hormone, that is affected by a lot of variables, and it can fluctuate wildly, even intra day. In order to assess thyroid hormone levels, you should be testing Free T3 and Free T4, which are the active thyroid hormones and correlate much better with symptoms, that TSH.
As stated by Red_Star - the entire endocrine system is tied together and all hormones are affected by the others.
hI, my son now 15 underwent treatment and a bone marrow transplant for Neouroblastoma at the age of four. He's been on growth hormone treatment for 3 years now but with no result. He's only 144cm tall and his endocrinologist says there's no hope because his bones have finished growing and the only suggestion is the bone stretching surgery. Can anyone suggest anything else?
In terms of growth hormone, prematurity and intraventricular hemorrhage are not generally associated with growth hormone deficiency unless there are problems with other hormones also. It is most likely that your granddaughter's small size is due to her former general illness and prematurity. Babies like her need a tremendous amount of nutrition to achieve "catch up" growth, which can sometimes be hard to obtain if she doesn't eat extremely well.
Does complusive masturbation lead to rapid aging? and premature andropause..
We went to have multiple tests done and they confirmed that im producing next to no growth hormone, or something of that nature. Over the last couple years, I noticed that my friends have been getting taller, while im not. They said that if I dont get hormone injections, my platelets? will close and i wont grow at all. I am considering it and am wondering if there are any severe side effects the medication may have.
She is definitely short and body weight is too high for her height, glad to see you saw an endo. She is gh deficient and this is a very good reason for central obesity(more weight around the tummy) and short stature!!! Do not feel overwhelmed, this is good news, she has a chance for treatment, the mri is done on all of my patients before treatment is started, the best websites to go over gh include magicfoundation.
If your daughter is 12, actually the treatments are not really cosmetic. growth hormone while the name says growth, actually has more functions and some are very subtle like sleep and some are more real like muscle growth and bone growth.
The social stigma of being different at this age can also have lasting effects - so if she starts to lose a lot of height and gets behind her peers, she may lose friends. It sounds shallow - but it really hurts and it does happen. It is just that age group.
There is multiple situations in which are current understand of growth plate closures is contradicted for example, we believe if the growth plates are undetectable by x-ray they are closed I beg to differ there are multiple example of people developing acromegaly in their late 20s or early 30s and due to the excess growth hormone released they have grown substantially in stature which under are current understand is impossible I can point you to a specific case Tanya angus she developed acro
This may sound crazy but depression is most often caused by your Growth Hormone level being too low. Since your GH level is very difficult to check and treat it's better to get your LH checked. Your GH level overlaps the LH level and is usually low when depressed. That is why depression is best treated by raising your LH level as this can increase your GH level. I argued this with my endocrinologist and I finally convinced her to give me a GH Stimulation test.
What vitamins can I take to prevent aging? Exclusively the face and neck areas. If there is not a vitamin, can herbs help and what kind? Any Natural Preventions?
