1. After 3 days I felt some positive mental changes - ie, mood/energy and general wellbeing. After 3 weeks the physical improvements keep getting better.

http://www.mstrust.org.uk/atoz/edss.jsp - "4.0 - Significant disability but self-sufficient and up and about some 12 hours a day. Able to walk without aid or rest for 500m.". This is the most accurate guess based on how I felt prior to hGH and not what the neurologist said - he hasn't told me an EDSS.
- Muscle atrophy was becoming really bad. It is approved for AIDS patients with such atrophy. I would now put myself at a "1.5 - No disability, minimal signs in more than one FS"
3. I am on a fairly low 'therapeutic' dose doctor said to take 1.5 or 2 IU a day - the choice is mine. Bodybuilders can take 4-8 IU a day, depending how much you are willing to risk - these doses are likely to cause negative side effects. You do not get a tolerance to hGH. The major side effect - your wallet becomes really light. I don't believe in sourcing it myself as I cannot guarantee the quality of the product. Some people do. I'd rather do it under supervision.
4. I will get all my levels checked in a few weeks - the dose can be adjusted accordingly. I feel like 2 IU's is a bit too much, I get wired. 1-1.5 feels the right dose for me. To test your levels of IGF-1 you need to do a blood test 3 hours after the dose to get the highest reading (which is what you are after) - money is the least of my concerns.
5. I take it myself, SC - 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. Some people take it 6 days on, 1 day off. I am following doctors orders. Insulin needles are pretty simple to inject, no site reactions so you can do them in a similar spot every time - it's recommended to be done in the stomach, 1 inch away from the belly button. There is no solid regimen for when you should take this - I do know you cannot take Prednisone while on this, however, hGH has an incredibly short half-life meaning if you do need to get a dose of 'Roids you simply stop taking the hGH.
6. You are right - as time went on I did change my attitude towards it. Let me rephrase it. "I feel for now, if I continue to take hGH that my MS will not be a problem - I do not know the future outcome or long term effects of this, I just know that I feel back to normal for now. I am able to function as well as any other human - if not better" (oh yeah, and goodbye hangovers!)
7. Scott1 - hGH is prescribed for different reasons in different countries. Please check with your doctor or find out according to your countries laws. I am well aware I am taking risks with this but I felt like I had no other choice. It is prescribed to me and I obtain it legally which is why it's expensive - I wouldn't recommend going down the "black market" route - some do, I wouldn't personally.
8. Responding to your PM now.
9. Side note - normally an average cold for example, could knock me out for a few weeks before recovering back to baseline. I have got the beginnings of a cold, and my body feels like it's fighting it fairly well. This is another potential benefit, since getting sick could often end up in relapse for me.
10. Another side note - the reversal of my symptoms appeared to go from the top of the spinal cord, to the bottom. The bottoms of my feet still feel a bit numb on my 'off' days, but not as bad as they were. There is a small numb patch on my right foot, approx. 1cm x 1cm which waxes and wanes, it gets worse when I'm a bit tired. The rest of the feeling in that foot has returned, so there's just a tiny bit left to go.. it seems.
11. My views are not necessarily the views of any other human being. In fact, my views are just that - my views. They are just as credible as anyone elses views, since no one knows and we're all guessing.
12. rHGH CANNOT BE PATENTED due to the fact that our brains make it naturally, the r-HGH (r) part simply means it's synthetically made - as the original HGH was taken from dead humans, and was highly toxic. God bless those who died so that we didn't.
