Re: Personal Questions and Answers for Jeanie (LOL)

[Guest guest]

Hello, again. My sister is 4' 10 " as well. She's never been diagnosed with RSS

but I wouldn't be surprised if she has it. She weighs about 89-90 lbs. and is

44 yrs. old now. she does have some of the common characteristics, such as the

pointy chin and triangular shaped face. Then again, maybe she's just little!

My paternal grandmother was about the same size as her. Brocktons great aunt on

his fathers side is also very short and small. Sometimes I wonder if he just

comes by it naturally since he doesn't have any of the other obvious RSS

features. I think it's GREAT that you are so comfortable with yourself. I wish

I could say the same! I'm 5' 2 " , and overweight. UGH.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am looking forward to hearing from you

again!

I'm more than happy to answer your questions. I'm 4 " 10 ( a giant in

the RSS world!) and 105 lbs. I'm 30, but untill I had my daughter at

25 I weighted a healthy 95-98 lbs. Having a baby was very hard on my

body as it really is the size of a 12-14 yr. old and I have been

told not to try to have anymore. I've always been comfortable with

my height. Yes I had to hear the stupid (and I do mean stupid) jokes

and comments and continue to hear them and will probably always hear

them. But I look at my height and the way I look (like a 12 yr.

old , 18 if I put on makeup) as something that shouldn't be changed.

It is my own personal opinion but it works for me. I would no more

change my height than an African American would change their skin

color or a French man would change his nationality, it truly is a

part of who I am and I'm proud of it. I learned as a child to ignore

people and their comments and as I got older I would very nicely

with a few choosen words put people in their place. However, I'm

sure that different circumstances apply to boys (I've always

believed it is easier to be a small girl than a small boy) and many

other things. Perhaps had all these GH drugs been available when I

was young I would have taken them, who's to say. I've just learned

to take the good things being short has to offer( I can always reach

the bottom shelf easier than most) and the bad things, well I just

buy a stool to reach the top ones. Sorry this is so long.

>Hello,

Im Mum to Morven possibly RSS.

Thank you for your personal story.I dont know If everyone elso here

feels the same but Its wonderful to hear the stories of adults with

RSS.

Personaly it gives me real hope for the future and that even if

Morven does have it well its not the worse thing and she can have a

normal life.I know I can deal with anything right now If the future

looks okay for her.

Are there any more RSS adults out there that can give us their

inspiring stories and words of experience.

Bye for now Mum to Morven 17mths
