8.7 IU Sides after just 3 days?

**chuyler** · 02-18-2012, 10:51 AM

Doctor prescribed me Norditropin and after taking it I have felt horrible. I've been weak, my joints are really soar, and this morning I threw up (Don't know if it's related) I always thought that HGH took a long time to have effect, is it normal to be feeling sides after just 3 days, should I talk to my doc? Also, I keep reading that at this dosage I have an increased chance of acromegaly, true?

why did you dr prescribe it to you?
8.7 iu a day is a high dose. Yes you could feel like crap jumping on that high. You need to work your way up to that.

It was prescribed for short stature, I wouldn't want to go off the prescription, hopefully my body will adjust to it soon.

How tall are you and how many inches could possibly be added?

I'm 5'4, and that is unknown to me and my doctor. Usually HGH is prescribed to people with low gh levels, to get them back on track. Recently however, new studies have shown that people with normal gh levels can grow taller too with added gh (Think andre the giant, more gh = more height). She said she has seen kids grow 6 inches, and kids not grow at all.

Why 8.7 iu I wonder? Why not a round number? 8.7 a day must cost a few grand a mont? How long do you have to take it?

It's based on body weight so as I lose or gain weight they will change the dose. There is no cost, covered by medical insurance. I'll continue taking it until my bones fuse, which will be in roughly a year.
