Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi Amber, Welcome to our group! Dr H is Dr. Madelaine Harbison, an Endocrinologist based at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NY. She is considered, by many, to be the foremost expert on RSS in the US. She is currently managing more than 100 RSS patients through her practice. My best suggestion would be attempting to get a visit with Dr H at the MAGIC Foundation convention that will be held in Chicago in July. The MAGIC Foundation deals with numerous growth disorders, and Dr Harbison sees patients by appt there for free. You can find the MAGIC Foundation at www.magicfoundation.org for details. Hope this helps! And once again, welcome! You've found a GREAT bunch of people that are supportive, informative, and caring!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thank you for the info - Grayson was positive upd7, which I was told was very rare, we are going for genetic counciling on Monday . I was told also that RSS is becoming one of the most overdiagnosed syndromes. b/c I ask about my son having RSS,and he didn't think Grayson had it.
