Re: Re: is it normal for RSS kids to have high cholesterol?

[Guest guest]

My doctor is concerned, I have to go every 3 months and get it checked. I

have to take meds also. I'm supposed to be on a diet, but I don't do to well on

it. I probably do eat to much fried and fatty foods. Working 2 jobs I live

off of fast foods, but I have been trying to cut back and do better. As a kid

I didn't have much of an appitite till I started GH, then I ate everything in

sight. I didn't really start putting on weight till i got out of high

school. I think its because the older I get the less active I am. Now i'm up

to

about 90 lbs. I have

read when adults have Growth Hormone Deficiency one of the symptoms is high

cholesterol. I have talked to my doctor about it and he is supposed to be

referring me back to an endocrinologist to see what he has to say. Kinda

interesting to see other people is having the same things.

I'm a 22 year old RSS adult and I haven't had my cholesterol checked in a very,

very long time, but after this conversation I'm thinking that I should. My

primary care physician and I had decided at my last physical that given my age,

my diet, my weight and level of activity that it was probably unnecessary.

However, that may be a decision that we need to rethink.
