Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Hi... Just wanted to tell you that this is what Dr. H. told us about the monthly shot: --She wants to wait until more research comes in. With RSS kids, the issue of GH secretion may have to do with the pulsatile secretion and timing. A once a month shot might not be sufficient for growth. --The once a month shot uses a much bigger needle (I believe 21 guage). She felt the trauma of the pain of that needle once a month was worse than the every night " prick " of the smaller (in 's case, 30 guage) needle.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Joe, Thanks for inquiring about Max. Yes, he is feeling better. He is now able to handle the pains himself by breathing slowly and waiting for them to pass. They are not as frequent, either. As for the site that used to have the button, it is all healed. It is not as red as it was and Max even swam in Florida without a t-shirt over it! One thing about Max, the initial period of change is difficult for him, but after awhile, he adjusts. I am taking Max to see Dr. H. on May 16, I believe. I will ask her than about the monthly gh shots and let you know. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
