Signs of PROGERIA include:
limited growth and short stature.
lack of body fat and muscle.
loss of hair, including eyelashes and eyebrows.
early signs of skin aging, including thin skin.
stiffness in the joints.
visible veins.
stroke.
narrow, wrinkled, or shrunken face.
POSSIBLE REMIDIES:
There is no cure for progeria, but occupational and physical therapy can help the child keep moving if their joints are stiff.
Heart health is critical for people with progeria, so the doctor may prescribe statins, nitroglycerin for angina, and routine therapy for congestive heart failure.
Eating healthily and getting regular exercise are important.
Some patients may have cardiac surgery to slow the progression of heart disease.
Self-care tips may include eating different foods when the lipid, or fat, profile begins to change, and eating small meals regularly to maximize calorie intake.
Sun screen is important for protecting the skin, and padding in shoes can help minimize discomfort caused by a lack of fat padding on the body.
