Talk:Growth hormone deficiency

This
This article is quite poor. I have had severe GHD all my life, and I know that there is much missing from this article that is highly relevant. I will try to come up with, and offer for consideration, a revised text. 80.6.30.24 23:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome. I agree with edits you have added today, but you might consider the likely expectation you create in the minds of those of us who put a lot of time into writing this article when you arrive with the above announcement. Is this a "drive-by insult" or are you planning to contribute constructively? If the latter, my suggestions would be: alteripse 09:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Create an account and log in with a user name; this takes about 1 minute, is easy, and free. While actually more anonymous (since it hides your IP), it facilitates conversation. A high percentage of people who work repeatedly on a single article without creating a user name do not have constructive purposes or methods; people with names get a little more respect here because you can build a reputation.
 * Regardless of what you may think of it, this article was put together with care, effort, and expertise. If you make large changes without discussion here, they may be reverted even if parts of the changes are valid.
 * Understand that the purpose of an encyclopedia article is to give information balanced by probability. Your experience is a valuable perspective, but be careful that you don't consider your own experience universal.
 * Part of the balance is simply the surrounding structure. Did you note that in the list of causes, a single, generally most common, example was given? Your addition of a second cause, while valid, breaks the pattern of the paragraph. Does it add anything to the sentence to have two examples instead of one? Should we have an organized list of over a hundred causes? That might be useful, but we would have to separate it for size reasons from this article, maybe as Causes of growth hormone deficiency and hypopituitarism. Click on the red title and start the list if you wish.

I was diagnosed with this condition as an infant, and I find that this article is very accurate. I have hypoglycemia as well as some of the other conditions discussed. I was part of the research study that pioneered the "synthetic" GH available today. I appreciate your thoroughness in compiling this article. Fotesaba (talk) 18:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to add my second in in that this article is lacking about Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency. Most papers used to make up the content are a decade or more old. I don't have the background to do an update justice, but I though I'd make mention that I'm also finding this page lacking based on reading numerous papers published within the past 5 years.

pituitary dwarfism
pituitary dwarfism links to this article BUT it is NOT EXPLAINED in the article anywhere. Since the word is still used in medicine, it should appear somewhere in the article, be defined, and any other relevant information. The phrase is relevant because it is still used in medicine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.151.228.19 (talk) 18:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I have Growth Hormone Deficiency, and I have found this article incomplete in some ways. Very disappointing. 24.20.94.154 (talk) 02:57, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
