Re: eight year old cousin going thru puberty I believe

[Guest guest]

The concern about early puberty is that when puberty is finished, the bone

ends fuse or something and there can be no more growth. So although

premature puberty brings an earlier growth spurt, it brings a shorter adult

height. My son is taking monthly Lupron shots (his endo is checking into

whether he could take some new 3 month shots).

Hi Tammy,

The first endo that saw here in NJ spoke at the

Magic convention. His " specialty " is precocious (sp)

puberty. So defintely contact Magic and I'm sure they

can get you some kind of literature fast.
