Cures for Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome (Progeria)
Unfortunately the Hutchonson Gilford disease does not have a cure yet. But there are things that are recommended by doctors and specialist, which can help a person that suffers from this disease to live a longer life and reduce the effects of the disease. This includes facing strokes and heart diseases or attacks at young ages. The average death age for someone with this disease is 13. The reason for this is most likely that in order to fight this disease to the best capabilities it would cost a lot of money. Because, they must pay for a lot of therapist, medicines, and will most likely spend a lot of time at doctors or even worse in the hospital.
These steps to try and fight the hutchinson gilford disease must be started at about 1 years old when the symptoms start to be seen. The easiest thing to do is to eat regular but they must eat small portions at a time. They also must recieve treatments as there lipid accounts are low. This is seen in there appearance as almost every bone in there body is revealed, which is not something that as of today can be cured, but they can modify it so it will not get worse. There bodies are also more vonreable to dehidration which is why they must contain optimal hydration as well as the regular oral hydration. They also should recieve anticongestive therapy which helps with heart failure which is often the cause of a patient dieing that has HGP. A patient should also recieve pyhsical therapy which can help with the movement of there enlarged joints and there hip dislocation. As well as there are encouraged to wear a body brace to protect there very exposed and weak bones. Sometimes, people recieve surgery for this disease to help fix there bones. But, that is actually not recomended by most doctors. A foot pad is another thing that is recommended because they do not have a lot of body fat there is usually severe pains in the feet from walking because the bones are almost directly getting the pressure themselves. I think the most magnificent part about this is that they are recomended to attend age appropiate schooling. Even though they have all of these problems they can still be intelectuallly equivalent to someone that does not have to deal with all of these problems. they also are required to take minor dosages of aspirin so that any other complications will occur that could be easily prevented with aspirin.
Besides all of these thing a annual echocardiogram, carotid duplex ultrasound, neurologic examination, count of lipids in the body , dental examination, audiometry, ophathalmology examination, x ray to measure of the density of persons bones bones x ray of hip to look at the dislocation, and an mri of the head and neck are all needed. These are all things that a person must do yearly and sometimes under certain conditions of each body part twice a year. They must go to all of these doctors regular doctors and many phycotrist all the time. When most of us complain when we have to get our yearly check up. This person most likely spends about a quarter of his whole life in some type of doctors office weahter it be sickness, healing, x rays, physical therapy etc.
