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.

Who said she was feeling sorry for herself? Stop being a self-righteous tool.

Get up and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Mind over matter!!
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.

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?

Well, it was mainly makeup and childish clothes that really made her look young.

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.

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

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!

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:

In the trivia her character is based off some lady with the same disorder who was cruel. Hope you are alright.
