Hi Kathy,
I hope things are going better for you. My daughter, now nearly 11, began developing pubic, underarm hair and pimples at the tender age of 4. Although she did not develop breast buds until last year, her endocrinologist told us that her condition Precocious Puberty was idiopathic, meaning she had no other symptoms such as a brain tumor that would cause this condition, and therefore determined that she had fetal alcohol syndrome. Like you, I never drank. I never did anything. But what I have found out is that her condition is linked to several other medical conditions, including diabetes, leprechauns sydrome and several types of childhood cancers of the adrenal gland. there is a webs site you can visit called the national organization for rare diseases and disorders. I think it's called NORD. I learned a great deal from that site that my daughters doctors never told me. I wish you the best.
