Starting GH Next Month!!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone –

I am not a regular poster but try to read all the " goings on " in the

list serve to keep myself updated and informed… Some time back I

made my first post telling everyone about my daughter Madeline (age

9 turning 10 in April). She was diagnosed very late with RSS and we

are now playing catch-up with all the available information that we

have been given through the Chicago Convention – meeting with Dr. H

(in Chicago) – Now working with a new Endo here in Milwaukee. We

are looking at starting GH March 3rd and have been informed that we

will be using Humatrope. I have a couple of questions for all of

you experts out there.. I understand that there are a few different

types of GH out on the market – would Humatrope be more commonly

used and is one better then the other? I have gone on the web site

and see that this Humatrope uses a pen to administer the shots. I

am familiar with a devise (because of a friend that has a son with

juvenile diabetes) called Inject-ease that automatically delivers

the needle through the skin and makes for a less stressful

injection. Can this be used in place of the Humatrope pen? I am

sure that I will be able to ask all of these questions when we go

for our appointment in March but I have learned from experience that

it is better to talk to the families who are dealing with this on a

daily basis.

Thank you in advance for answering my questions!

Sincerely,

Jenni Vetter
