I was diagnosed with FD of the skull when I was 9. I am now 25, and since then I have had 4 cranioplasty's. My FD was surrounding my optic nerve and could have caused blindness. After my first 2 surgeries my FD started growing in a different direction..towards my brain. It has been a very long road and alot of suffering for my family and I. I have another appointment in 2 weeks and I feel the outcome may require yet another surgery. I pray for all who suffer with this illness.

I am 31 and was diagnosed with FD when I am 2years old in my full body. Fracture was repeated at the time of a child. A stress fracture was carried out recently and the wire was put into the thigh. I would like to exchange information.

Im 21 now and in constant agony my hips my ankles legs back everywhere i broke my jaw and right femur i have a very large head to but have only had fd diagnosed in hip. Im waiting to see another hospital as i feel i have been neglected. I can't walk far without being in agony and don't get slot of sleep.

Also it is nice reading these comments knowing im not the only one in agony. Xx
