An everyday life for a person with Pituitary Dwarfism Syndrome is really hard because they can't do lots of things we can do. For example trying to reach for a glass on the top cupboard shelf that has to be really hard for them. So people with this condition have to struggle more than we do.
(Trena) Mom of son who has Pituitary Dwarfism
My son has Pituitary Dwarfism and to say it can't be treated isn't true there are treatments my son has been on Growth Hormone Shots since January 26 2004 and at the time he hadn't grown any from 12 months -17 months and had only grown 8 inches from birth to 17 months. I took him to Cleveland Clinic and they did some test on him which was a long process but after they got the results of the test and diagnosed him they started him on Norditropin Shots and he was due to go back and see the Dr the next month and when we did he grew one inch they upped the dose and he continued to grow and make strides he is 13 yrs old and now stands 5' 8. If you want to know whether or not shots will help your child find a good Endocrine Dr that will listen not everyone knows the answers to your questions but do some research and keep fighting for your child till someone listens and helps.

What is the correct term for people with dwarfism?
This is a politically charged question. There are several answers to the question, but each one of them may or may not be considered offensive, and even that is up to the person being referred to. If you can find a person affected with dwarfism, ask them in a serious manner, as if looking for information. If they take you seriously enough to answer you seriously, they'll most likely tell you what doesn't offend them personally. This does not, however, mean that ALL people affected with dwarfism would not be offended by the term. My suggestion is to call them 'people'. That's what they are. Learn to look past their stature, chances are, you'll find someone who has an outlook on life that you've never encountered before.
