Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hello everyone, I'm in AZ this week as I posted on another thread. Since I previously lived here for 7 years, I've got friends here. While visiting with one of them, she mentioned to me that she had a flat spot on her head and had me feel it. Sure enough, it was there. It was towards the top, which I've been told is the last place to round out. She told me that she probably should have had a helmet also (she's about 35 years old). I couldn't tell if it was more to one side or even across the back because I couldn't see it - I could only feel it and didn't pay attention to that aspect while feeling it. Anyway, the thing that was amazing to me is that it is totally not visible. In addition, I see no extra width in her head and no asymmetry. I'm guessing that her degree of flatness would be considered to be mild so I'm sure this is not try of more severe cases, but I was so happy to see that someone could have a flat spot and still blend in with their head shape.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have a flat spot on my head. When I lay on a hard surface floor, my head actually settles on the flat spot, which is slightly off center (about the size of my palm). You can't see it and I've known it's been there for probably 20 years and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. And I know for a fact that I slept on my tummy, so it's interesting to know it exists at all. I wonder if it could be partly heriditary. My husband also has a flat spot and his is a little more noticeable if you're really looking for it, since his hair is shorter. But I'm not even sure I'd call it a " spot " since it's kind of just the shape of his head, it's more flat than round, but isn't severe at all. And he's another tummy sleeper. My son wore two bands for almost 8 months and saw great improvement, although we didn't start treatment until he was 17 months old. He still has a flat spot, but it's almost identical to my own, almost the size of my palm and slightly off center toward the crown of his head. So again, maybe it's just the shape our heads were meant to be. Jake-2.5 (DOCBand Grad 9/08) Jordan-5 > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > I'm in AZ this week as I posted on another thread.
