Antley bixler syndrome
Antley-Bixler Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is primarily characterized by distinctive malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area and additional skeletal abnormalities. For example, the disorder is typically associated with premature closure of the fibrous joints (cranial sutures) between particular bones of the skull (craniosynostosis). Many affected infants and children also may have a prominent forehead, underdeveloped midfacial regions (midfacial hypoplasia), protruding eyes (proptosis), and other craniofacial abnormalities. Additional skeletal malformations are usually present, such as fusion of certain adjacent bones of the arms (e.g., radiohumeral or radioulnar synostosis), long, thin fingers and toes (arachnodactyly), and bowing of the thigh bones. In addition, certain joints may become permanently flexed or extended in fixed postures (joint contractures), resulting in restricted movements.

Antley-Bixler Syndrome often appears to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. However, according to researchers, other cases may result from spontaneous (sporadic) genetic changes (mutations) that may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.

And the side effects for those injectable drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis are scary...tuberculosis, cancer, fungal infections, weakened overalll immune system......

Chantix is one hell of a drug. Here in our local recovery houses it's commonly prescribed to help quit smoking, however the number of people who refuse to continue taking it outnumber the ones who it actually works for on account of suicidal intention and major depression.

No problem. I'm local to the general area of that crash.

One thing I love about this site is what one of us knows, someone does not and vice versa.

Just one big, happy family, for the most part! ;)

That warning is on anti-depressants, as well!

What works for one of us will kill the next one. You have to decide if your symptoms are better or worse than the possible side effects, and hope you make the right decision.

You have to be closely monitored, until you and your doctor get it right.
