RE: Question on Convention seminars

[Guest guest]

Tammy,

There are different seminars for different sections of MAGIC. For example,

the GHD seminar is designed for the Growth Hormone Deficient Division, while

the Basics of RSS/SGA is designed for the RSS/SGA division. This doesn't

mean you can't attend a seminar designed for another group but that is why

they are scheduled concurrently. Last year MAGIC videoed several seminars

that were (and still are) available for purchase for members of MAGIC (which

you now are). You probably want to go to RSS/SGA basics ( is still

pretty young to deal with the adrenarche and the basics gives a good

overview), then Treating RSS/SGA, continue after lunch with being born SGA,

and GHT treatment. That would be my suggestion. Learn the basics first

and then next year things like adrenarche or GHT may be a little more

imminent. Jenn Salem will let us know when and if there will tapes of this

year's presentations and remember you can still order last years for RSS

basics and the adrenarche sections as well as 2 other presentations.

You will gain sooooo much information. Also, you will have an ENTIRE year

to fundraise for your funds for next year's convention. After your visit

this year you'll see why people go back time and again!

Subject: Question on Convention seminars

This question is for anyone who has been to the convention in

Chicago.

I was looking at the convention schedule this morning and noticed

that there are alot of seminars that are scheduled at the same

time. There are a few that I want to go to, but do the scheduling

times I can't make them all.

For example, I want to go to the GHD, the Precocious Puberty, Basics

of RSS/SGA, and Adrenarche & Puberty segment, They are all held

9am. Then also at 2:30-4pm they have the 1-2-3 magic and the

Growth Hormone Treatment segment.

Is there a DVD on the segments that you can not attend? Or do I send

my husband to one and I go to another each with a tape recorder? Or

am I maybe reading the times wrong. This maybe the only year we get

to go due to the expense of it and I want to get everything I can

out of it.

Thanks,

Tammy

Dayna,

Thanks. I will definitely follow your advice and do the RSS basics first.

Hope to see you there.

Tammy - It is a tough situation. Each division within MAGIC is for

children of a specific growth disorder. Probably 95% of the

children do not usually cross over. A handful of RSS/SGA children

may be GHD, so that is the one that there could be crossover. CPP

is truly central precocious puberty -- this means children whose

puberty begins at, gosh, there are little girls who have gotten

their periods at age 2.

Because this is your first convention, it is most important that you

try and stick to the presentations that are geared at RSS/SGA. If

your husband wants to try and attend another presentation, let's say

for GHD, and your child has been diagnosed as growth hormone

deficient through a stim test, then it would be encouraged.

Now, within our RSS/SGA division, in the morning we did divide our

sessions. This was primarily because many of us have heard the Dr.

H presentation 3 or 4 times. Any brand new family should absolutely

go to the " Basics " and " Dr. H Protocol " above and beyond the

Adrenarche discussion. IF a first-time family has two adults, then

split up and have one go to the Adrenarche one. But far more

important information will be learned for the newcome in the latter

presentations.

The afternoon sessions with Chernausek and Cznernichow I planned so

that ALL of us would listen to both of these speakers.

I hope this helps explain it a bit better. Jenn
