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.
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. -

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.

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?

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.

Ohh yeah, I know her! She's made great educational books and YA anthologies (which I began collecting like mad in the past couple of years). This is her Amazon page:
