Re: Re: Jenn - Arimidex & adrenarche - Kim

Kim,

My daughter is 3 and although I have heard over and over about premature puberty

I think we started thinking that it wouldn't happen to us. Since all of this

has come up I am really thinking that I need to be more alert. What weight and

height was your son when he first stated showing signs? Dr. H had told us that

Zoe was too heavy two years ago and that it could contribute to premature

puberty so we have slimmed her down. I was just wondering if you knew what your

son's height to weight ratio was also?

Thanks for the help.

Hi ,

I was shocked to read in your post that Arimidex doesn't stop

adrenarche. has been on Aromasin (according to Dr. H this is

stronger than Arimidex) for almost 1.5 years now, though he has been in

adrenarche since age 3.5 years old. He continues to have the body

odor, pimples, etc., & I have always wondered if the Aromasin is

working. He has also been on Lupron for 2.5 years. His bone age

continues to advance with poor growth despite maximal doses of GH and

labwork that is indicative that he is still in puberty. I have lots of

concerns for him, and am anxious to see Dr. H at the convention.

Kim C.

I have learned from Dr. H that the Arimidex that she is on won't

STOP adrenarche, so the body odor and pimples keep going. It just

specifically halts the conversion of the adrogens into estrogen, and

hopefully will then halt her rapid progression of her bone age.
