My DD has been diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency and I have searched the forums and the only information I can find is several years old. I would like to know if anyone has had a daughter with GHD and had them treated with growth hormones. Or if they were diagnosed and you chose NOT to treat them. Really, I am looking for any information at all.
My DD does not want to take the hormones as she is concerned about how they will affect her gymnastics. Obviously, her health is more important but she has no issues other than being short. She has no other health issues that often go with GHD. With the hormones, she should see 5'. Without them, she will be 4'6" - 4'7". Additional information - she just completed level 8 and does hope to compete college gymnastics one day.
I would love to hear of anyone with personal experience in this and how it impacted your DD's gymnastics. I would love to be able to reassure her!
