My blood work and the different gh and igf-1 levels


I wrote this out months ago but didnt post it...so Im posting it as is. I will be going in soon to have more blood work.

My growth hormones are supposed to be between 1-10 and mine on 07/19/2010 was 71.9 when the doctor first told me.
The Chart below

Men
Less than 5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) (less than 220 picomoles per liter [pmol/L])
Normally between 1-5, Five being high
Women
Less than 10 ng/mL (less than 440 pmol/L)
Normally between 1-10, ten being high
Children to teens
Less than 20 ng/mL (less than 880 pmol/L)
Normally between 1-20, twenty being high
Babies
15–40 ng/mL (660–1760 pmol/L)




When I went in for a panel of tests,my Igf-1 was suppose to be between 88-340 and mine was originally at *900 in July then when I went in for my glucose tolerance test that would suppress my growth hormone and would give them a more accurate feel for where my growth hormone really sits at in August my IGF-1 level check came in it was at *1003.
My blood work.



My testosterone, free level was suppose to be between 0.1 to 6.4 mine was at *10.2 and
testosterone total reference range is 2 to 45 mine was *53.
I started taking my first Injection to bring my levels down this month"november"; my doctors
 want me to have my levels checked again in three months to see if my levels have stabilized.
 So let’s cross our fingers!

My Life Lesson:

Have Faith and remember I cant CONTROL the outcome of everything......
I cant change or control my situation......in fact there are alot of things out of my control....so I just have to remember to have faith.

Faith; belief in a higher being and or trust in something

Control: the right and power to command, decide, rule, or judge
 and or and The act of exercising controlling power or the condition of being so controlled
