Guest guest Posted July 22, 1999 Report Share Posted July 22, 1999 <!doctype html public " -//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en " > <html> Hi, <p>Yes, Josh has had similar symptoms, too. I think all of the children whose arthritis is severe enough to require steroids have dealt with these issues at one time or another. It is very shocking when it happens the first time. I was so amazed at Josh's appearance. At first I didn't even want to take any pictures. Just to be in denial about it. The, I figured we better get used to this and just accept it. So, we took some pics at his most Cushingoid. After that episode was over, it was amazing to look back and see how he had looked once upon a time. I think it was good to have those pictures. Even though Josh was very hairy, chubby and with a very round face! It makes us realize what we've gone through and how far we've come. Right now, he's back up and his appearance has changed again. But we're comfortable with it these days. <p>I do remember questioning the doctor about it, being so angry, saying look what these medicines have done to my child! Even crying about it. Once I even brought a photo in to show him what my son used to look like before getting sick, so he could see the dramatic difference, the boy I used to know. He was so cute, people thought he should be doing commercials! I was pleading that we had to get him off the steroids. Well, we've not been able to get him off the steroids yet but Josh's regular, normal appearance does reappear when he's on lower doses. It doesn't last forever. Josh wasn't even Cushingoid at 15mgs a day, last time. Definitely no signs of it when he's taking just 10mgs a day. Maybe later I can scan a picture in to the site, showing him with major Cushingoid features. I sent one to some friends before and they were really shocked at how different he looked. But even inside that bloated face, he was smiling :-) & nbsp; And still extremely loveable! Maybe even more loveable, because his body was going through such a rough time. <p>Take care and try not to worry too much, <br>Georgina <p>Skis@... wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE>From: Skis@... <p>Since has been on these maga doses of Decaron she has additional hair <br>growth on er face etc. & nbsp; Her Eye brows seem darker and thicker and hair is <br>growing on her fore head. & nbsp; Tonight I noticed lots on her face.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 , I'm glad to hear that you are pleased with the results has received. I can't imagine though, a band being so tight that it either constricts hair growth or rubs it away. All of my babies had bare spots at the back of their head from sleeping on their backs, and what not. But once they were more mobile, the hair did eventually grow in. Have you asked your orthotist if they have ever heard of this before, or what they recommend? If I were you, I would give it a little bit more time, I'm sure the hair will start to grow in soon. But please do keep us posted. Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > Everyone: > > My baby, , has been out of his helmet for a month.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I read somewhere a long time ago that redheads have the least amount of hairs on their head and usually have fine hair. That would be me! I'm a natural redhead and have tons of thick coarse hair. Could hardly get a comb through it when I was little. Natural blondes actually have the finest hair. A hair shaft is composed of a cuticle, a cortex and medulla, but, for some reason, natural blonde hair does not have a medulla, which is the element that gives hair it's strength. No theory holds true in every case, but as a rule, natural blondes have the finest hair and are most likely to go bald. Redheads have the least amount of hair follicles but it tends to be thicker and rarely oily. A person with light red hair (such as strawberry blonde) has a lot of blonde pigment present and their hair would be finer than a person with darker, more auburn red hair. (I'm a hairdresser and had to study all this stuff!). Usually the darker the natural hair color, the stronger the hair. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I've been doing that a little bit - used to do it all the time and got out of the habit. Plus I put Vit E oil on them at night. That really strengthens them. For nails, eat plain gelatin, I do, and have to cut my nails twice a month, also good for regrowing cartilage. Becky I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that's not going to happen." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is irish moss too but am not sure how that is for nails and hair. I do know that horsetail is very good for the hair, nails, and cartilage. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Shari, if your nails are fine it could be hormonal. How old are you? Still have you uterus/ovaries?

They grow to extraorinary lengths and are wonderful! My hair, well that's another story altogether. I read somewhere a long time ago that redheads have the least amount of hairs on their head and usually have fine hair. That would be me!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm 55, still have all my parts (except appendix and they have discovered it has something to do with hormones after menopause). I haven't had a period in about 5 years and never had one hot flash or anything else related to menopause, but the hair thing is probably related to that, somehow. But I've never had much hair anyway, just even less now. I do use a wild yam cream, not prescription; however. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I had a hysterectomy at 33. My hair started thinning soon after. I think some hair thinning is just a natural event in a woman's life. Try the nettle and/or rosemary based hair rinses or oils and see how that helps over the next couple of months. What has helped me is taking kelp everyday, which helps thyroid function. Every body is different, you will find what is best for you. And YAY no hot flashes that's great.
