Well here I go....

Have never done anything like this before but hey thought I would give it a try & see what happens, so here goes.......

Hi I am Sheryl, I am a thirty six years young (lol). I am diabetic, have been for thirty four years & was supposed to be starting the Growth Hormone yesterday, problem is my pen device does not dial to the amount I need so yet again I am waiting to here from my consultant as to what will happen next.......

Am going to get the boring bit out the way.... The reason I am on the Growth Hormone is because five years ago I had my second son & before, he was forceably ejected from my body I got something called asidosis, which made me have two major heart attacks. HDU did not realise I had the first one till my husband pointed out "that's not the babies heart, that's her's" on the monitor. Panic ensured & I did not get enough oxygen or blood to my brain, so now have & have had for the past five years a tumour (so they call it) in my piturity gland but really my piturity gland is dying & most of it is dead as I had a piturity infarction.

I have been fighting for five years to get the GH (growth hormone) & yay have finally won.... It's a very lonly place being an adult that is dignosed as an adult with as many hormone problems as I have, so if anyone knows anyone else that has been dignosed as an ADULT with GH problems or deficiency, then please put them in touch with this blog & I would be very happy & relieved to talk to someone else in the same situation.... I have joined a few sites but everyone is a parent with a child with GH problems or an adult that was dignosed as a child.

At my age my level of GH should be 86 I believe but mine is 3.3..... I also have hardly no steroids, so find it very hard to fight infection.

I had a bone scan which revealed I have small holes in my bones (it's not bad) so I have the start of osterporosis, due to the fact I had no periods (& my other hormone problems) for three & a half, four years & was finally given the pill because of the scan but my Dr said I should be happy I am not having them.

They thyroid is also low, I have tried taking Thyroxin but for some reason it makes me very ill & I cannot sleep while on them, so I was taken off them.

I have missed loads out, I know I have but if anyone has any questions, please just ask...... I am going to try post everyday as what I have is so rare from what I can tell. I am hoping this blog will help other people & hopefully I will find someone else, that's dealing with this...... xXx
