Ugh...It must be something.?

Question

Its going to be a long story...so be prepared.

Ok, i'm 18, male, 5'4, 107 pounds. I have a immature face. Ever since the 8th grade I have stopped growing physically, I have no appitete what so ever, and I am actually losing weight atm. My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'11. No one on either side of the family are this short/young looking.

I went to the doctor to get my bloodwork done. Everything came back normal that he tested for...(not even sure if he tested for this)...But human growth hormone deficiency can be hard to test for in blood because it shoots out in spirts...so generally the amount in the blood will be low. I don't know what to do, I want a second opinion...but where do I go besides my family doctor?

I will eventually kill myself if I don't get this resolved. Its all I ever think about anymore and I will never get over it. This life is not worth living. (Not that any of you care) Please don't comment on this subject, nothing of what any of you say will change my mind.

To those who claim "you will love it when your older!" obviously have NO idea what its like looking so young/short, being a male. I'm sick of it.

So if anyone has experienced this or has a suggestion I would appreciate it.....Thanks.

Answer 1

Looking under age never screwed me up.  Maybe when buying beer or whatever..........

Use it instead of dreading it.  It will pass.

Answer 2

I Googled it and found another Yahoo member that her daughter is on growth hormones, I am attaching her answer to another girl's question about growth hormones, maybe you could email her? Best of luck! Hope this helps

Answer 3

Please dont do anything to hurt yourself!

Your story enlightend me because my initial thought was to say your going to look young for a long time. It is hollywood that has created this ideal immage that we should be this weight... this height... this hair color etc. but beauty comes in all sizes shapes and colors. I cant immagine if the world had only one "look" of a cat, dog, bird.

how boring the world would be.

As far as as your appetite, stress can cause you not to want to eat, as well as your diet can cause you not to be hungry. Protein foods make the body feel full and carbs make the body hungry.

As a nurse I hope u can take this to heart, Be thankful that you have your body, and health. I have morbid obese patients that can turn over in bed or reach body parts. its a struggle for them to walk 2 feet,and breathing takes every ounce of effort. Imagine being stuck in bed for the rest of your life, you have the abilty to climb mts. There are alot of women who think a short man to be s**y, look a nichole kidman.She towers over her husbands.
