Thank you John. Hereditary Hemochromatosis caused the Panhypopituitarism.

Re: HGH - would like to know not only whether HGH helps Quality of Life but specifically, what does “Quality of Life” actually mean? I also see in the article it is supposed to help “increase exercise capacity” but what else? And how prevalent are the (scary) potential risks of HGH? Any statistics?

Hi @mpflood7 - I wish I had an answer for you but I don't I did a search of Connect and found a member from 2018 with the same symptoms/condition you have but there was only one reply - Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) and Celiac Disease (CD): https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/hereditary-hemochromatosis-hh-and-celiac-disease-cd/

I did find a Sharing Mayo Clinic story that you may find helpful - Busy Father Finds Way Forward Despite Hemochromatosis: https://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2016/12/16/care-at-mayo-clinic-gives-a-busy-father-a-way-to-move-forward-despite-hemochromatosis/

Have you thought about getting a second opinion?
