<p dir="auto">I don't mean a psychopath part, obviously. I mean the hypopituitarism. Although I take shots in my thighs for it every night which helps me grow. It's a rare disease but I'm glad a movie is finally going into it.</p>

<p dir="auto">Her name is Ann Angel. Couldn't tell to look at her, but apparently she has pituitary dwarfism. She's pretty and looks a full adult, but it must have been tough to grow up with. Great books too!</p>

<p dir="auto">I've heard about her. The reason why I was able to get treatment was because I was a test subject, and it was safer for me because I was a newborn, whereas she was at least 10</p>

<p dir="auto">I think it is pretty rare I would think.. I saw something on TV once about a baby that's was like 30 something she still was the size of a baby and never learnedly to talk I don't think. You could probably find it if you look it up.</p>

<p dir="auto">When talking and trying to figure out the movie with my family, before it was given away on screen, I had guessed dwarfism. I actually wasn't aware that there is a form of the condition that would make a thirty-three year old woman look 9 yr old! Sometimes movies often exaggerate a condition.  I wonder how rare it is?</p>

<p dir="auto">She isn't feeling sorry for herself you ignorant ninny! She simply stated the facts of living with that disability. People like you need to have a karmic accident to turn your life upside down so your egotistical intolerance can be taken down a few pegs.</p>

She didn't sound as if she was feeling sorry for herself to me. Just remarking that it was nice to see a movie highlighting her condition.</p>

<p dir="auto">It doesn't have too much of an effect on my daily life. Other than the injections in my thighs, I also have to take Cortizone (corteff) pills three times a day. If I don't take the pills, I could potentially die.<br />
Although, I will say that the movie did tone it down a little. If Esther never took the injections, she would actually never grow beyond the size of an infant.</p>
