Seasons Greetings...and lab results.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

I took a blood test about 28 days after my last Lanreotide shot. The reason for this was that my Doc wanted to see if my levels were in the right range. I took the blood test just before I was scheduled to do my next shot, so this would show whether or not the shots are working throughout the entire month.
Results?

IGF-1 = 227 with a reference range of 82-240.

Woo-hoo! Still working!

All the best everyone!

New Drug On the Way

Hey Everyone,

I know it's been awhile since I've updated the blog. That's because there isn't much news to report. I'm feeling awesome and my levels are within the right range. I'll probably have a follow up early next year with my Doctor.

In the meantime here's yet another drug that is almost ready for market. Read about it at this link...http://www.dddmag.com/news/2014/09/antisense-acromegaly-drug-shows-efficacy-phase-2

We live in wonderous times.

BLOOD WORK

I got about 7 vials of blood work done recently and there was a couple of months gap between my 3 month test shots of Lanreotide.

IGF-1 was 282...so Lanreotide it is!

Started back on the shots and will do so for the next 6 months.
Trying to get some extra insurance coverage so I don't have to pay so much, but that takes time.

Oh well, all is well. There won't be an update for awhile so good luck and God bless to all my readers. Check back again in September.

Best,
Jeff

Results!

After 3 shots of Lanreotide I met up with my Endocrinologist and got the news.

The shots worked.

My IGF-1 had a reference range of 82-240

My number came in at 229

The plan is to stay on the shot and meet up again in 6 months.
