Re: Re: GH administering question

[Guest guest]

Hi! I havn't posted in a long while, we are just now getting ready to start

GHT for Quetzie 4.5 yrs old... so I've been lurking the postings for talk

about the GH. As to the insurance/diagnosis question, my understanding from

my endocrinologist was we'd do better insurance wise if he did not diagnosis

her with RSS or any other label, apparently it is better to be " ideopathic "

SGA.

We are very excited to be starting " nutropin? " or something like that. We

havn't exactly broken the news to Quetzie yet that it will be a " shot " . I

have only told her that the medicine will come in a magic wand. Any ideas will

be greatly appreciated!

<<a " mini quick " which does not need refrigeration, it is a single

dose per needle so you just throw it away after each dose...you have

to plunge the needle in yourself. The other choice is the pen from

Genotropin, which I guess also has an exposed needle, and has to be

refrigerated b/c it is multiple doses in the pen (I know you all

probably know this).>>

My friend Adult GHD has the mini quicks and she (an adult) says they " hurt

like Hell " ...

There is no way she can do it and is working on getting it changed. I use

genotropin for Liam and the needle is NOT exposed in the pen.. I LOVE this

device and hopefully will never have to change!
