my son was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism 7 years ago, he was given a full growth potential of 5'1". He now stands at 5'8". He went from below the charts to the 50 precentile in both height and weight. He actually has friends in his class that are shorter than him now, and that makes him feel so good about himself.

I guess it's too soon to see the benefits of the drug but on the downside I am gaining way too much weight.

I have only used the pen for one week, so far I have mnore energy, but a little too much at moments...experiencing some anxiety. Hope Nutropin really helps...

My pen set was set to number one.I started to get my old systems back.I pressed the botton on the pen to see if medicine was coming out and no, no med was coming out.So God knows how many times I injected myself with nothing.The pen is not that reliable.I set it on number two and now it seems to come out of the needle.I hope Nutropin is as good as Humathrop.My insurence wouldn't cover Humathrop anymore so I had to go to Nuthropin. It should be the same right?

This is ease to use and my child has gone from being in the 5% in height and weight to the 50% in both.
