I've been giving Skytrofa to my son for a month now. So far, no major side effects, but the shot is really hard on him emotionally. Any tips on making the weekly injections easier?

Are others having trouble with the injections? My son is scared of needles, and it's been a battle every week. Does anyone have tips to make him feel better about the process?

I could have used a heads up on the skin issues. My kid had a nasty rash after the first injection. A quick call to the doctor and some antihistamines did the trick, but it was scary at first.

I wish I had known about the possible pain and tingling in the hands and feet. My daughter can’t stop complaining about it. Doctor prescribed some meds, but if anyone has better advice, please share.

Skytrofa is a huge relief, but the possible side effects make me nervous. It's hard to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks. Anyone else feel this way or have experience that could help?.

Skytrofa has been a game-changer for my daughter. She was falling behind in growth, and after a few months, she's already showing improvement. Just keep a close eye on the side effects and don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor. We trust our endocrinologist, and we've had a good experience so far.

My kid was having severe muscle and joint pain after injections. Turns out it was just from the extra physical activities in the treatment regimen. Adjusted the routine, and now we're good!

I had to call the doctor last week because my daughter had a severe headache after her injection. We were worried about potential raised pressure in the head. Turns out it was just a bad reaction to the injection itself.

I’ve noticed slight mood changes in my kid since starting Skytrofa. Is this normal?
