Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thankyou for your info about your daughter. I have been hoping I would get to make contact with you as it was Dr Stanhope who mentioned that I should try and e-mail you at my last visit with Jack in early January! I was asking him about puberty as Jack is certainly displaying signs of andrenarche.It was only because I came home and looked at the Magic website as he Suggested( I have joined now!)that I saw scoliosis listed as a symptom of RSS.It isn't listed in the English booklet or maybe it is now but anyway I hadn't heard of it before.This set alarm bells ringing as we had recently said we thought Jack's spine didn't look quite straight.I found a website on Scoliosis and did the test to get him to touch his toes and at this point it was very obvious that his right side rises up significantly higher than his left. Also his ribs show through his back when he does this and the front of his chest caves in on the right side compared to the left. My local doctor confirmed scoliosis but I am still waiting to see a spinal orthoepedic surgeon to see how bad it is. I'm really grateful to the Magic Foundation for alerting me to this. Jack has been on GHR since he was just 2 and grew alot in the first year on it and then has been fairly consistent since then. I feel very nervous with him off the GHR as it made him so much healthier but he was a tiny chap then. Is your daughter's scoliosis being treated in any way at present or are they just monitoring it? I'm so glad you contacted me,I read your story on the Magic site and had been through so much the same and probably about the same time( Jack was borm March 96). Your daughter looks very pretty.
