Confused

I agree with Jan and .

Please have your doc test your ferritin (iron stores), too. Optimal ferritin levels (between 50-100) help us optimize our thyroid hormone, and if too low, can make us feel like cr*p.

I didn't know that either, I'll ask the doc for that

test also. Thank you!

Hi my name is Prutchick and im a little confused about all of

this PMG. I have alot of unanswered questions and the doctors dont

seem to know how to answer them . My daughter is 3yrs old and was

just daignosed with PMG,Septic Optic Nerve Dysplasia she has glasses

and is going to need surgery to correct her eyes. I just dont

understand she acts like a normal child she is a little hyper and is

defient but what 3 yr old isn't ..lol I guess what i'm trying to say

is i m reading all these stories that everyone has posted and these

poor children seem so much worse than mine. They said that the left

side of her brain was effected Im wondering if there are any parents

out there that have children with PMG that act like a normal child.

She has come a long way in the last year she was a little behind

before but she has caught up and does everything a normal 3 yr old

does .. any input would be nice and my prayers go out to all of your

children ..

Thank You

Prutchick
