CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDER. ...

[Guest guest]

Hi All and Candace

I see you mentioned the possibility of it being a connective tissue

disorder and wanted to say that all along that's basically kind of

what I feel it is too, as though there is no Collagen or Elastin to

'stretchhhhhh ' things.. haha.. and it just rips instead. Like it's

somehow a lack of hormones and may be why the Estrace (for me) helped

with the elasticity to heal me.

I, for one, was one of those who had horrible stretch marks, again, no

elasticity... my doctor explained it as a rubber band stretched too

far and it won't snap back. *sigh* and believe me I only gained 10 lbs

with my pregnancy. My sister gained 40 and doesn't have one stretch

mark and also no VV or any problems below... hummm I wonder that

connection too. Just thinking out loud again, and my $.02 cents..

haha. Dee

P.S. by the way I also tried the NAG, but had little results.
