    Shout out to the neighbor and credit card. What a humble human finding a way to distract himself and gained independence. Thanks for sharing.
  • @nellen55
    Sounds like hell. Feeling of starving and never being self-sufficient
  • @thefury4424
    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've watch other docs on prader wili and they all talk, walk and act very very similar almost identical

    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?
  • @PirateOfTheNorth
    I hope they can cure the constant hunger even if they can't cure PWS.
  • @Timbergal
    I notice that a large percentage of children with PWS live in AU and NZ. I wonder what the diagnosis/population is?
  • Evil despicable condition. i have no other name to describe it.
  • @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.

  • How many people from My 600 lb life have this but go undiagnosed? Did Dr. Now ever consider this?
