Dr. Mariano,
Would giving my daughter HC cause her IGF-1 to decrease? For testing, would you recommend weaning off the HC prior to seeing the Pedi Endo? I know the docs at Wilford Hall will go nuts if they find out she’s on HC and Armour!Thank you for your insight! My husband is active duty Air Force, and he would like to take her to Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio to a Pedi Endo. I’m very hesitant to do this because as a nurse I know how they will most likely think…as most mainstream docs do, but I guess it’s a start. I just feel like I’m wasting time.
Dr. Mariano,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry about the abbreviation…DD means “dear daughter” used on other boards. 🙂
I feel our current doctor is treating the labs and looking a symptoms, but is not getting to the underlying cause…especially since you are talking about the nervous system. But, I am appreciative that he is at least trying to help her…other doctors have said she is just fine. My daughter has always been intolerant to heat since a baby. After just several minutes out in the heat her face is beet red and it has always been that way. At her last well-check, she is now 50% for height and 95% for weight. As a younger child, she was always 95% for height and weight. I don’t want to mess her up more by giving her medications she doesn’t truly need, or not finding the true cause for all of her issues. This is very stressful for me as a mother! I want to do what is best for her.
