Adrenarche vs puberty - need help - endo appt Monday

[Guest guest]

All,

Deianira has been exhibiting signs of pre-puberty for MANY years -

she started with pubic hair and armpit hair at 3 years old and the

body odor/acne started at 4 years old. She is nine now.

We were told by Dr. H in Chicago that we need to have another bone

age done - and if she has progressed more than 1 year in bone age

since her last study (last year), then we need to start Arimadex

(spelling?).

I brought this up to her endo over a phone call after the convention

and endo is not happy about the idea. He stated that we should not

do so since she has been in this stage for so long now that it is

not a concern. He did say that we could do another bone age and that

he would talk with Dr. H before our appt on Monday. I fear that he

may still give some push back and would like some feedback on others

that have had to fight the local endo. What are some defenses I can

use? Why Arimadex versus other meds?

I understand the catch up growth and why we need to proceed in the

fashion, but what verbage can I use against an endo?

Thanks all!
