Hi , I am a 27 yr old male with CF.My doctors have always told me that I have a light case. In the past few years though, I have noticed more hospital visits and I can tell it is progressing.I also have CF diabetes. However, here is my real subject.I have always been a fan of weight lifting. My brother who is one year younger than me and does not have CF is a REALLY muscular guy, and I struggle so much when working out on getting bigger. Even with protien shakes and supplements.Last time I went for my check up at the CF center I saw a flyer with an advertisment about research being done on CF patients with Human Growth Hormone. It said it could help patients with gaining and maintaning weight. I know that some weight lifters actually use this illegally to substitute for steriods.My questions are.. Does anyone know about this research? I heard they stopped it yrs ago and then I saw it again.Also would it pose a danger to people with diabetes?What are the risk factors and how high are they?I struggle so much to keep in shape and it really frustrates me that I cant even begin to build muscles like my younger brother has. Heck even his bones are much larger than mine and I know its because of my cf. My health comes first but I would really like to get bigger than I am and I heard that this Hormone could help me in other areas.I do pretty good with my CF , I dont want to risk my health yet I do want to improve it and it would really boost my self confidence, I feel as I work out as hard if not harder than anyone I see and I seem to get the least amount of results, it really gets to me.I would like to someday find a wife but I lack the confidence to even approach women. I know that if I could just get bigger I would have SO much more confidence.I am a good looking guy its just that i feel way to D@MN small and it has realy gotten to me. I want to feel good about myself and feel that others are attracted to me.Could this help me ? Someone that knows please let me know.
