i am 5-5", 160lbs. all my life i was short & at age 14 i went for numerous tests & i had an underactive thyroid. i was put on thyroid meds. later on my growth doctor recommended that if i want, i could go on HGH. but after he told me about some slight risks later on of bone cancer, I FREAKED OUT! it just scared me & i said f- it, i just stay short. but if i knew then what i knew now about HGH, i would have jumped all over it. i could have actually been taller, more muscle development, but oh well.
