Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes Sam has them, lower back.......... Mx Has anyone had a child going through puberty with stretch marks? According to Google, this is quite normal but it is not something I have ever seen before on a child. has large purple ones over his tummy, upper arms and various other areas. Just wondered if we are on our own with this or not? I am hoping they fade as at the moment they are noticeable to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes my dd has severe stretch marks as well as hyper mobile joints.They get inflamed from time to time as well.I think there must be a collagen problem.KathSent from my iPad Yes Sam has them, lower back..........

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have them from puberty. I believe I was caused (at least in part) by a deficiency of zinc. http://drlwilson.com/Articles/ZINC.htm Best wishes, Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes they could be! Its well worth testing I think! Lyme and Bartonella are often co-infections. We are treating my son and myself for Lyme at the mo.. I think my sons Lyme is congenital!!.I have no recollection of a tick bite on him or me incidentally.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi, My son is the same, stretch marks on his back, from the waist down which started as he shot up in height and hyper mobile joints. I am in the process of investigating whether he has a connective tissue disorder or not. He also has mild scoliosis. I've had a quick look at some pictures of the lyme stretch marks and these seem to occur in more odd places and they actually look like something is under the skin making the mark, look here: http://www.lymedisease.org/limages/bartonella-rash.gif http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/2563910072_dfbd488e7c.jpg?v=0 Nikki x > > > Yes Sam has them, lower back.......... > > > > Mx > > > > In a message dated 19/07/2012 18:44:18 GMT Daylight Time, Thorpeheather@... writes: > > > > > > Has anyone had a child going through puberty with stretch marks?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am afraid it is an expensive test at Breakspear probably..You may as well test for Lyme too.. My Lyme (recently discovered) could be the cause of my heart abnormalities (also recently discovered) However my cardiologist had never heard of the connection and had to look it up on google!! so not very encouraging! lol If you havent already, you need to check out the Lyme induced Autism site! Full of info on this subject.. I am utterly convinced it is at the root of all my son's " autistic " issues! If you are born with a compromised immune system (due to a bacteria like Lyme) then you are going to have no ability to function normally, chelate etc, tolerate foods etc, especially with the onslaught of vaccines, mercury poisoning from vaccines and other sources etc, > > > > > > > Yes Sam has them, lower back.......... > > > > > > > > Mx > > > > > > > > In a message dated 19/07/2012 18:44:18 GMT Daylight Time, Thorpeheather@ writes: > > > > > > > > > > > > Has anyone had a child going through puberty with stretch marks?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi Kath, No luckily we have private insurance cover, so we are doing it that way, i'm sure it would have been a big headache trying to get the NHS to do anything! ........but even doing it privately i'm still hitting problems as the doc i'm seeing also work in the NHS and he cant understand why i want to have further investigations done as ds already has autism!!!!...earrghhhhh give me strength.....luckily he is happy to take the money, after i insisted he does something! The possibility of cardiac involvement is the reason i am pushing for investigations, i would rather know than not know. I hadn't realised scoliosis may be connected to mercury toxicity i will have a look at that website you mention, thanks!
