Adult GH deficiency post TBI

[ravis]

Hi
Had a moderate TBI many years back and never felt the same post that but different docs didn't find anything wrong then. Some research with AI seems to suggest GH deficiency and many symptoms fit - am getting tests and an endo consult too.

I know of the bad rep GH has got here but I wonder if anyone has this specific case (tumor/tbi) and can recommend alternatives. Newer peptides are not available here and even the injections seems very expensive given my financial condition. I have tried most Peaty supps and take t3/d/a/k/sat fat/b1/b3/b6. preg and dhea at 100/50mg dont seem to do much but i haven't taken these consistently.

Any alternative paths to consider?

Thanks
p.s: smee from the older forum seems to have the tumor case but i can't find the same user here. any idea re. them?

@ravis Ray Peat wrote about TBI in The dark side of stress. He said "Traumatic brain injury, even with improvement in the short term, often starts a long-term degenerative process, greatly increasing the likelihood of dementia at a later age." The way he explained it, brain trauma lowers the enzyme that clears acetylcholine, so it builds up. In the same piece he wrote "Progesterone is being used to treat brain injuries, very successfully." You've only tried pregnenolone so far, right? Could be something to raise with the endo once the GH tests are back.
