I have had growth hormone deficiency since age 2. i am now 36 and considering taking hgh. could that be beneficial although i also have epilepsy.

GH in adults: Once you stop growing, the gh will not do anything to your height. Question is, what would you expect the gh to accomplish? More muscle? More energy? This is quite controversial, and controlled trials have not really come up with a good reason to give gh in adults, even adults with pituitary deficiency. Presumably your other hormones are normal. Talk to your endocrinologist.

If you have: Not taken growth hormone during childhood, you need to check with an endocrinologist and have your deficiencies evaluated. If indicated, they can be treated. There are risks and benefits which depend upon your individual case.
