The start of my Genotropin pen

The first time I used the pen of course it took a while, and I did scream. The next day I had a sore throat! The second time I did it I screamed, but from then on I hardly made a whisper(except the counting of course). My record is 10 seconds but it has taken as long as one hour 40 minutes! For some strange reason sometimes my leg bleeds and sometimes not! Each day I rate the pain from 0 - 10. My lowest rate is zero and my highest is 9.

Hope you like my blog. LOTS OF LOVE, Sophie xx

sophie's growing

Hello everybody, this is a new experimental blog for all those of you who would like to know how Sophie is doing, and also for Sophie to able to tell you in her own words how she is feeling. Please do post a reply whenever you would like to do so.

She has recently started her Growth Hormone treatment and already we think she has grown about half a centimetre, although the endocrinologists tell us not to expect much in the first few months. So far the daily injections have been a little fraught but we feel she will get into the swing of it soon. We are due to replace the first cartridge tomorrow, and we'll take the opportunity to use the practice cartridge on ourselves to show our solidarity!

Best wishes,

Richard & Clare
