hey guys , nice forums , I'm new here myself
well I had some questions, hoping you guys can assist me with them
I'm 18, just turned on the 3rd of december,
been hiv+ since birth ... found out around my 12-13 from my doc ... he thought it would be wrong to wait any longer for me to find out, & lemme tell you it was probably the worst day of my life
i spent the next around 5 years in severe depression , everything was a down hill spiral, couldn't finish school , spent my days trapped away in my room , under severe anxiety stress/ depression EVERY DAY for like the next 5 years ... like mind numbing , & from my understanding stress can damage the pituatary gland... from what I have read..
so I feel this stunted my growth a lot ... considering my testis are HGH like raisins, & I'm only like 5'6 barely & my willy wonker ain't that much better off either... so I figure I have insuficient Testosterone Levels & Growth Hormone levels?
well , after endless hours of research , i have learned about endocrinology , I scheduled an appointment , i shall see that doctor in march , he told me to i need to get a referral from my main physician , which ain't a problem , & gotta get bloodwork done , which is cool cause I have to get bloodwork done @ the end of this month anyways for my cd4 count
plus I suffer from lipodystrophy In my arms & butt from the hiv ... so is there reasonable cause for the endocrinologist to prescribe HGH or Testosterone or anything ???
please any advice would be greatly appreciated ,
thanks 2 everyone in advance
