what you mentioned. Last night my daughter and I were talking about

she has given it thought. That made me so sad. She said she doesn't

I liked your email and thank you for sharing. How old is your

daughter? I have had acquired ptosis since I was 7 and yes, some

kids (and even today, adults!) can be tormenting. I am 35 and found

out just a couple years ago, my dr. discouraged me from having

children. I am not in a relationship right now, so I guess I am okay

with it. I wanted to tell you how wonderful I think it is that you

support your daughter and think so very much of her. I do hope that

one day I do find a very wonderful man who understands. Warm wishes

for you and your family. Smiles, a

Hi a

I have been reading your posts and I was not able to follow something you

mentioned:

I am not sure I understand - is your doctor discouraging you from having

children because of the acquired Ptosis? If that is the case, did your

doctor provide you with a reason? I am not doubting the doctor's wisdom,

just curious, as I know very little about acquired Ptosis.

Take care

Hi Shirleen, I was surprised too...apparently I have a mitrochondrial disease and the ptosis. I am still learning a lot about both. I am 35 now and about 2-3 years ago my dr. said I could pass this on to my child and discouraged me bearing children. I am not in a relationship so it is okay for now.... =o) aAndy Bowles & Shireen Mohandes <andy.bowles@...> wrote: Hi aI have been reading your posts and I was not able to follow something youmentioned:> I am 35 and found out just a couple years ago, my dr. > discouraged me from having children.

I don't understand exactly, if you have acquired ptosis are you sure

you can pass that on to a child? Also, do you know if you have BPES

or not? I don't want to pry, but I think you should consult someone

who can clear things up for you before you make decisions that will

affect your life. I am not saying you should run out and have a child

if you otherwise aren't prepared for one, but I don't think you

should limit yourself based on what may or may not be just one

person's advice.

I have BPES and so does my dad and my baby daughter.

Hi Beth,

I have had several tests and that is what the dr's tell me. I have

ptosis and I see my eye dr's several times a year. I will be 36 in a

few mos and I am not worried about having kids since as of now, I am

not in a relationship. I just take things one day at a time...Thanks

for your thoughts....Smiles, a
