Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 My sisters are just like that but she is " covered " from neck to knees down her front (she has had 5 kids but still hers are not normal and started befroe her 1st pregnancy. Mine are mainly around my hips and thighs are don't go as purple/burgandy (not like hers do). We have type 3 they think but have the dental issues at about age 30 or before of type 8 (my sister has NO teeth left). Sharon > > > Hi all, I took some pictures of Dylan's stretchmarks tonight. I had been on search engine and looked up striae/Ehlers Danlos and found that type 8 is only one that has stretchmarks like his, from what I can find. But type 8 has severe tooth and gum problems at an early age. (teen years) Dylan or the family has no teeth problems. Then I came across a link that had EDS and Cushings in the same link and his Stretchmarks and 80% of his symptoms are under that syndrome. I was wondering if you could look at his striae marks and tell me if yours are any thing like these, and if so, what type are you? > PS, the ones on his back are 5 years old, so they have turned white, but are deep. All 5 of my boys have them on the back, all the other boys' backs are worse, but it is the only place they have them. My twins have then on the back really bad. they cover 18 inches horizontal like Dylans, but are much deeper.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 has Dylan been on any kind of steroids in oral or creams?? i found great pics on the dermatology atlas site with these marks attributed to steriods, drug induced cushings, a variant of " normal " stretch marks from growth/puberty, drug reactions,EDS, and numerous other reasons. here is the link to the site i was talking about above: http://dermatlas.med.jhmi.edu/derm/result.cfm?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Thanks Debbi. I'm trying to figure out how much of this is contributing from the EDS before we get to the Dr. They never seem to know much about EDS. I'm guessing stretch marks are normal, but these striae marks are not. Before now, I figured most all of you had these too. Thanks for helping me. Cindy C. Re: Striae Marks Not that severe! But... I certainly had some nasty ones, for a teenager. Mine were really long in some spots... I actually watched them grow day by day. my brother got really bad stretch marks on his armpits like the pictures ... Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I do let her choose her own clothes. And, we have to get her a new bathing suit for her pool therapy. I actually saw some really cute ones at Target. Pretty cheap, which is nice! They have the ones now that have little shorts for the bottoms. Now, just to find a top that will cover all those marks up top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 what about the little tank topsthey have on the tankini swin suits it is like a singlet, put this with the little shorts and maybe you will have cute, fashionable and practical with maximum cover up for self conscious issues. i personally these days at 32 wear boardshorts and a rash vest with my 1 piece cat suit bathers underneath (when outside as I do NOT want to get sunburnt. A cat suit comes up to the neck in a round top around the neck with a zip in the back sort of like the top opf a wetsuit with the rest a normal 1 piece swimsuit. A rash vest is a lycra t-sirts made initially to go under wetsuits to prevent rashes but her in OZ they are now wornn over bathers to help prevent sunburn (this is an option for your daughter) and are pretty hip and surfy...
