    Shout out to the neighbor and credit card. What a humble human finding a way to distract himself and gained independence. Thanks for sharing.

    Sounds like hell. Feeling of starving and never being self-sufficient

    A big shout out to all the other PWS families out there! Never easy telling others how our children are always hungry and them saying “sounds just like my child” when they have no idea. Routine is your best friend, my little girl just turned 12 and is kicking butt and amazing!

    I hope they can cure the constant hunger even if they can't cure PWS.

    I notice that a large percentage of children with PWS live in AU and NZ. I wonder what the diagnosis/population is?

    In the 80s, many people used prescription, amphetamine-based appetite suppressants. As it turned out, as a diet, it was way more damaging than efficient on the long term, but the molecules do exist. I don't understand why science can't come up with some effective and inocuous appetite suppressant to help patients with PWS. I'm surely being naive, and hunger is only part of the problem of course, but I'd like to understand why this is not possible, I mean it would help a lot, wouldn't it?

      Me too, I know they have ozempic that doctors will give fat people with diabetes and it keeps them from getting hungry. I wonder if they will work

      I'm sure it's possible. It's just not being researched. Science revolves around money.

  • @theshagnetwork

    There MUST be a treatment for them.. either some sensation or hormone blocker because there is a hormone that causes hunger too. Apparently its also possible to become desensitized to that hormone.

    HINT: sounds like a chronic lack of zinc. if u dont have enough zinc in your body, your leptin (saity) levels are low, hence the chronic hunger.

    They should team up with the makers of Ozempic since the this medication makes you feel full and and release the harmonies in your body that you are full…

    • @Vegetarianbull
      @Vegetarianbull Před 8 měsíci +2

      Yes they already use ozempic and saxenda at the same time with metformine. And better if they get the gastric sleeve at the same time while using that medications.

      PWS children suffer from constipation and it’s the brain that doesn’t stop sending signal to the belly that is full since it has to do with a chromosome which also can cause psychosis

      @@veronicamedina277 Conversely, anti-psychotic medication can cause an insatiable appetite. It's often a reason that patients won't comply.
      I was given a tablet one evening while in hospital and while not feeling actual hunger, I felt the need to eat. A lot. All evening until I slept.
