IGF-1 is now at 356

Got a call from my Endo today...

Did a round of follow up blood and urine work.

It was all normal.

The IGF-1 level came back as 356.

Now, 356 for an IGF-1 is still higher than normal. Here is a list of ranges for people based on age...
(At 33, you an see that I am still slightly over the normal range, but considering my number used to be something 800-900, I am still counting this as a blessing. Plus, the Doc said it is standard to wait three months for the IGF-1 level to normalize and I did mine at month two because the surgeon needed a conclusion for a presentation he was making about me!
Anyway, it might fall a bit more, we'll see)
