Noticed en coup de sabre during puberty, but had scalp lesion and hair loss at age 8.
|
|
If the tissue got hard in a few years ...........it only needed months and there were
significant changes because of the atrophy.
|

It seems the atrophy progressed rapidly as son approached puberty. I know that PRS
is less common in males and therefore don't know if this experience w/puberty is
common among other male patients. We originally thought my son "just had thin
skin" on the right side of his chin. But as I mentioned before, it was as he approached
puberty that the loss seemed to progress more rapidly and become more noticeable.
From my reading of other's emails, it seems that many females affected by PRS
discuss increase in symptoms during pregnancy and/or menopause. Seems to be a
hormonal link.

I am not sure that the accelerating of symptoms during puberty has anything to do with
puberty - my symptoms accelerated very much in my twenties too.
|
|
Progressed very slowly until 11-12 yrs., then accelerated from then on.
We have other family members with other autoimmune diseases, not PRS.
|
|
As I got older the worse it became from what we (my family) can see.

It started and accelerated when puberty started... just seems that when she did start to
have an intermittent period, is when it progressed faster.

|
Continued atrophy of bone and soft tissue on forehead and jaw.
|
|
The medication lost effectivity and he got more and more seizures.
|
|
Seemed to increase.

According to doctors my mother took me to in my teens, my assymetry started in
early childhood. During my teens, my mouth pulled further to one side, my cheek
started to thin, my eye lashes turned white and fell out, I started to get migraines and
jaw clamping, the crease in my chin started to get very noticable.
|
|
Seems that this was the time it was most noticeable because of my rapid growth
spurts and the effected tissue not keeping up.
|
|
Could notice slight deterioration in my face in my teens. Mostly when I looked in a
mirror.
|
|
Mouth was sore much of the time. I used wax on the wires.
|
|
Continued hair loss.
