Progeria -- a rare genetic disease that makes children age about eight times faster than normal. Only about a dozen children in the U.S. are afflicted by it and patients rarely survive past 13.\n\n\n:)

Different disorders.  My sister is mentally chalenged and i have found that the the kids that are worse, usually look a little different.  This can be caused by many different problems in birth.  Others are the result of down syndrome.  It is the same as a mentally stable person that doesn't look "normal".

This is a problem called acanthosis nigricans.  It is generally associated with being overweight and is very often linked to insulin problems, although you may or may not be diabetic.  It is a sign that you should have your insulin function checked, however.  You will need to be tested for diabetes and insulin resistance.  Cutting back on carbohydrates, especially processed ones (white bread, white rice, etc.) may help, as would losing weight.  This is an endocrine system problem rather than a dermatological problem, so skin treatments might help the appearance a little but won't solve the problem.

it's probably not osteoporosis, it's probably Scoliosis. Which is very common, go see your pediatrician

Tha average age for a femail would be 17.5.\nUsually people who grow slower than others have some kind of medical condition, one of them is growth hormone difficiancy.\nGrowth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in our brains. if our body does not produce enough of it we may stop growing or grow slowly.\nThis condition can be treated in most cases by taking growth hormone injections.\nThere are about 500,000 american children who are taking growth hormone injections.\nThe kind of doctor you should see for that is a pediatric endocrinologist.\nfor more information you can go to www.coollearnings.com\n\nAlso check out:  http://www.howkidsgrow.com/serono_G/index.html

Hi, I think autism and sensory disorders (trouble with balance) are inherited because quite a few people in my family are just like the people you are talking about. It could very well be Asperger's Syndrome because both boys and girls can have this and they do include all the problems that you mentioned. However...Asperger's Syndrome has no facial changes. It could be a different syndrome closely related though...lots of genetic syndromes can have symptoms that are very closely related to autism. Some syndromes even include what is called autistic like behaviors. Have you ever thought of getting the family...all of them tested at a geneticist? Also it could be a metabolic problem so you could also have everyone tested with a specialist in metabolics. The tests are usually just a simple blood test...nothing scary or anything. Good Luck!

Cushing's Disease (and Cushing's Syndrome) cause weight gain in the body and face, while causing legs and arms to become really skinny. I had that disease. It looks funny.

I get that sometimes too. I have hypoglycemia. I also take a medicine for depresseion called Welbutrin which I have taken for 4 years now. Also I have reached the ripe age of 41!  I think all these things combined is what causes my spots, blurryness and shadows. I was told by my eye doc that the floating spots that move are age spots that most people get with age (over 40). They are protien fillers that build up. The sugar imbalance cause the color spots. Eating more protien in my diet and less fats/carbs helps me.

Not for nothing, but it comes down to genetics really.\nLike it or not, smoking, in any form catches up with you.\nMy friend has been to 2 seperate dermatologist that say if ya dont give up all stuff your doing ( ie. drinking, smoking ) it'll all hit ya around 35!!\nSo, to me, it seems genetics is what gives ya either a youthful look, or not.

Yes, there are many people, like yourself, who look much older than their age. This is due to the hereditary genes which you \ninherited from your parents, examples: hair thinning (getting bald),\nface and forehead with deep lines, 'crows feet' etc.\nHowever, you can prevent and control your white hair by colouring black with the right type of colour dye at the hair specialist center.\nAlso, certain facial creams can help lighten or cover up deep facial lines to help you look younger.

Its not instant, but Scotland's government health officials just released a Web-based software that allows you to see what you will look like when you get older.\nhttp://www.infoscotland.com/experience/exp_dt_folderlevelAgeingSoftware.jsp?pContentID=101&p_applic=CCC&pMenuID=3&p_service=Content.show&

You should consult a pediatric endocrinologist. \n(1) Treating the underlying cause or disease, such as a tumor in the pituitory gland.\n(2) Lowering the high levels of sex hormones with medication to stop sexual development from progressing. \n Hormones involved in the control of puberty include: \n    • GnRH: Gonadotropin releasing hormone, which comes from the brain in boys and in girls. Other androgens from the adrenal glands (located near the kidneys) produce pubic and axillary hair at the time of puberty. \n  • Estrogen: A female sex hormone, which is responsible for breast development in girls. It is made mainly by the ovaries, but is also present in boys in smaller amounts. \n• Sex Hormones: Responsible for t he development of pubertal signs as well as changes in behavior and the ability to have children. \nIn some cases, treatment of an underlying health problem can stop the precocious puberty from progressing. But in most cases, because there's no other disease triggering the condition, treatment usually consists of hormone therapy that stops sexual development. Other symptoms include:-\n(a) poor grades \n(b) problems at school \n(c) loss of interest in daily activities \n(d) depression.\nIt is not known whether any drug you have taken last year might have triggered such a condition or due to genetic reasons.
