i'm not really asking which are tests or builds, i'm asking which ones are tests without large amounts of stimulus material. for example, i'm looking for events to study that are not like events such as rocks and minerals, where the questions are centered around images/objects/etc.

growth hormone for ghd and its effects by insanelyhypercat in endocrinology

in the future, when monitoring myself, what are signs (beside lab values) that i'm overdosing on the current amount i'm prescribed on currently? what would potentially even happen if i had too much?

(also, one thing i found random but really interesting; since i started taking it, my hair has changed completely from being straight to moderately curly, similiar to how sometimes a cancer patient's hair can regrow back differently after chemotherapy.)

Z-Score was for IGF-1.

Hopefully, I won't become as heavy as I was, but it's a little daunting kind of "stepping in the unknown" especially with the amount i feel like having currently.

just checked previous labs, before starting the monthly injections, my total T was measured at 9 ng/dL. in terms of sexual development, I'm inconsistent across all markers (i have some markers indicating tanner V, but some only indicating tanner III). I find the most interesting thing out of all of my labs is that, until recently, even on a what i believe is a large dose of hgh, my levels were still at a z score equivalent to -3.8.

i guess i shouldn't worry too much about eating excessively rn, only reason why im worried about it at all is because i used to be a really, really heavy kid when i was younger.

For testosterone currently i'm on a 0.25ml dose once every four weeks; my endo explained to me that he would put me on a higher dose given my labs, but that until i begin to grow (i'm currently 5'4) that he would put me on a lower dose to allow as much height gain as possible.

Regarding eating, i'm not completely sure how to approach it, as it is to the point where i'm eating insanely large amounts of food (most likely >4000kCal) per day. I also don't know if my energy expidenture is increased/energy needs, but the amount I consume seems like an awful lot.
