Hi, Im Harry Crowther, Im 24 years old and I have an extremely rare genetic disorder known as Atypical Progeria Syndrome (Non Classical Progeria) whereby I have a defect with the LAMIN A/C gene (LMNA). Though not to be confused with the classical Hutchinson Guilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) - both are Premature Aging Disorders. I was diagnosed in the USA aged 7 years old. Together with my Mum I keep this blog. Hope you enjoy my story.

Calcium/Uric Acid
Harry's left hip has got slightly worse so he's been referred for another course of hydrotherapy. The doctors also looked at a lump that has appeared on his elbow. This could be a calcification or a build up of Uric acid, so Harry's had yet another! blood test to confirm/rule out. He has calcification's on his ears which is also seen on children with classical Progeria. Not sure if these lumps appear elsewhere. A question for me to ask I guess?
