Growth/Height

Hi My son (10) has been tested for growth hormone deficiency. The final result was that he has ISS, Idiopathic short stature, a fancy way of saying he is short for unknown reasons. They have not done significant studies on children and ADHD and short stature. They are trying to get approval with our insurance for increlex which is IGF1. Has anyone had any experience with this or short stature?

Growth/Height

I am short stature, but my parents (mom) was short also. She was 4'9". I am 4'11". I always find a way to compensate for my height.
