I was briefly in the hospital and met a girl with PWS. She is African American and was not initially diagnosed as her doctors missed the key facial signs and diagnosed her with pica and oppositional defiance disorder. Can’t help but wonder how many people have no idea they have it... I’m glad she’s getting the help she needs.
Thank you very much for your instruction. I've been following you for about 1.5 years- since I started NP classes. I joke that you should be paid by my college as you have contributed more to my learning than they have.
My brother has Prader-Willi Syndrome. Growing up, there was not much information out there. Now that I’m an adult, its nice to know more about why he is the way he is.
Just from what I've seen *of this syndrome; these people afflicted seem to be potentially dangerous to anyone that is not obviously stronger than they are. It's almost like living with a life long drug addict that you have to stop from getting their "fix" every minute of every day. It's incredibly frightening and tragic at the same time. I feel deep sympathy for those that are suffering this disorder and their families. 💔🙏
There have been people with Prader Willi syndrome that have actually eaten themselves to death in a single sitting. Due to the absence of feeling full, people with the syndrome often don't know how much is too much. There have been people with the syndrome that ate massive quantities of food and, not feeling full, ate still more, and their stomach popped, literally like an overinflated toy balloon. Stomach acid, which is highly corrosive and reportedly can even eat through metal, then spilled out into their abdomen, dissolving blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, the heart, the lungs, and the person died.
My friend had prader willi and died at the age of 29 from pneumonia and a stroke and heart attack in 2018 in may here in Australia and she was over weight
There is a youtuber Amber (calls herself Amberlynn) Reid who clearly has this. She has those exact features and that typical body type. She's around 600 lbs and her whole life is obsessing about food. She did go to special ed, dropped out and sound like a preschooler.
Thanks for the comment, except, you did not finish her sentence. Why should they have to wait until they are the right wait to have the surgery for Christ sake‘s?! That actually defeats the whole purpose just by adding fuel to the fire for Christ sake‘s.! Sounds like something Donald Twatt Trump would say.! And there’s someone who doesn’t have any Nuro endocrine disorder and just eat fast food for all his meals and snacks and someone who I wish would have type two diabetes as a result of his eating habits.! If you go on here to TH-cam, you will find several videos about his diet compared to the rest of his families diet.
Because obese people have a much higher risk of developing postoperative complications like heart attack, wound infection and nerve injury. That's why it is necessary for people who don't even PWS to lose a considerable amount of weight before having weight loss surgery.

Can this be picked up during chorionic villi sampling?
Who else is here for their school project

Dateline is a crime show.
