    Whether a person with OI can live a normal life or not depends on the type of OI. The OP has Type 1, which is the mildest type. Type 2 is the most severe type. So, I believe what your instructor told you was not wrong for the patient you were working with at the time.
    Thank you

    Often people will ask if either my daughter or I take calcium supplements. However, calcium does not help as the problem is with the collagen in the bones and tissues. There are some doctors that believe Vitamin C could help with OI.

    A sign of OI is blue sclera. (The whites of the eyes are blue.) Also, our skin can be somewhat transparent.
