Thank you for sharing Todayistomorrow.
I had never heard of that test. How did you find the endocrinologist that knows how to do this test? Does he/she treat TBI specifically?

He does what normal endocrinologist treat while having this as a sub-specialty. He said the research is out there but endocrinologist don't look at it. He said there is one other Dr. at mayo clinic who does the STIM test as well, but they do 30 X time the amount of these test at their office. I just got my results and I was just above the threshold for GH deficiency and in normal range of T, but on low side. I should hear from Dr. this week on if he thinks it warrants treatment. |
