good question

[Guest guest]

Chedder bunny asked me a good question about am i a midget or a dwarf.

I am a dwarf Im 4,5 and weigh 60 pounds as a baby I was born 4 pounds

and I was very very tiny I gained weight at the hospital but then lost

it at 3 I weighed 7 I was in the hospital for 4 yrs couldnt walk at

all till 4 cause my body was too tiny. Right now you can see all my

ribs and bones in my arms and legs, I am grotesquly skinny.

I am 4'8'' and about 90lbs so i can imagine how skinny you must really be. What

I wrote wasn't a question though. I was stating that dwarfism is being small AND

misproportioned (ie big head, short arms and legs) whereas being a midget is

merely being small. I weighed about 4 lbs at birth, but since I was born at

home I was taken care of by my mother who was into totally natural living (ie no

medication unless it simply wasn't an option not to and no growth hormones).

When my mom finally took me to a doctor (at one month old) they said either I'd

die by the age of five or I'd " sit in the corner and drool for the rest of my

life so you'd better institutionalize her now " . I'm just wondering why you're

still having a problem gaining weight, because from what I know most people with

RSS " grow " out of most of the symptoms. I'm sorry if I seem nosy or in any way

offend you, my mom is a nurse, so I'm not exactly shy about health related

issues. I hope all is well and I hope things become

easier for you. Best wishes.

*leah*
