Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Karolin, My daughter was born with the condition, and there is not any case of this in either my family or my husband's anywhere. I think you will find that it is quite common for this to show up in a child where there is NO history in either family. I know there are many cases like this within this group. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the condition itself is common, but of the children who are affected, there are many who have no family history. I do know now that my daughter, having been born with it, has a 50 percent chance of passing it on to her children. She is only 4 now, so we do not know what the future holds for her or if she can even have children, I guess only time will tell. There has been much debate about this very topic over the last years on this group. If you look back in the posts, it might help you to understand a little more. Let me know if I can help further, Trish blepharophimosis (unknown) Hi, my name is Karolin and Iam 29 years old. I was born with tbe Blepharophimosis Syndrome. All my life I have been told how rare this condition is and have never in all my doctors consultations and surgeory come across anyone with this condition until a couple of days ago. That is when I came across the website full of people with this condition. Growing up this website would have really come in handy. Anyhow... what I would like to know is that is there anyone who has this condition but neither parent or any relative known has the same condition. I am constantly told I am not adopted but still cannot understand where I got this gene from and now have passed it on to my two children. I really would like to chat to anyone that can help me.

I might add that she was a very humble person and wasn't one to brag about her possessions. However, when she lost everything because of a filthy rotten insurance company, she just couldn't handle it and tried to take her life. So I feel I must tell her story as her story needs to be told. Because of what I saw happen to her, I get ill when I hear anyone defending any insurance company.

There are people in this world that just don't have enough money to put food on their table let alone pay for insurance. I think that people loose track of this and that is a damn shame.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Kendal, I also believe that was a bit harsh. It is very sad that some people are not in this group to support others, but instead to agitate. I also was under the impression that to be involved in this group you needed to have had, presently having etc problems with implants. Why would someone without implants want to be in here especially not supporting others? I do believe that it is called the SALINE SUPPORT group. I am in here for support and to help support others who may be sick because of implants. I hope that everyone else will focus on that as well.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi Karolin My name is Lucy and our daughter Holly, aged 6 months, is the first in the family to have Bleph. I can definitely confirm that there is no-one else in the family that has this condition, Holly is unique and special, well in our eyes anyway and I definitely gave birth to her!!! The condition could either make her infertile or if not there is a 50% chance of passing it on to her children. The gene is apparently a blip and is just 'one of those things'.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Sliming is when something is stuck and your body creates extra thick saliva to try and get it through the stoma. Your mouth starts to water with this stuff and it is better to spit it out then swallow because it will just sit on top of your pouch. If you end up PB-in g...it feels like you are throwing up a jelly fish because that saliva accumulates into a big ball or bubble (I am not describing this too well!) and comes up all at once. PB stands for productive burp....you could call it vomitting without the stomach acid. You are " burping up " food from your pouch either because you didn't follow the rules or it didn't agree with the band. The PB and the " slime " doesn't have to happen if you are careful with chewing and what you are eating.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Actually, look in both photos and files. PHOTOS shows you the steps graphically. Files will list the materials you need and how-to use the device.
