A member asked:
If i was born with rachitis, could it affect me now in any ways? i lose a lot of hair, would that have anything to do with the rachitis?

Dysraphism?rickets?: I am unsure what condition you are suffering from. Is it a spinal dysraphism where the spinal canal is not fully closed or is it a disease of vitamin d deficiency rickets? Both should be managed by experts, a pediatric spine surgeon for dysraphism or an endocrinologist for the rickets.
