Growth Hormone

Well, I was denied for growth hormone injections.  I still need the stimulation test and I am waiting to get that scheduled.  It probably will take another 2-3 weeks.  I have become increasingly depressed.  I have no motivation to do anything or see anyone.  I have been on prozac 6 weeks and today started with Wellbutrin too.  I hope the combo works.  I have never felt so helpless and just want to lye in bed.  I really do hope that the GH injections will help and turn my life around.  Now, with the holidays approaching, where and how am I going to get through these months.
Does anyone have any advise?  Ok, just give me your experience for hope.

Yes, they will not give it on the IGF-1 test, only on the stim test and some require the stim test twice! The stim test requires that you rest before it, and go in fasting, and it takes about 2 hours or more with multiple draws.

Once you pass the test, the company your doctor selects usually will get the medication to you quickly, on a trial basis, while they are working with insurance. They will assign a nurse, too to help train you how to inject. They will train you on the thighs, but personally, I find the tummy much less painful even though in my mind, it seems like it should be far worse!

Hang in there!
