@DDsD @happysinger Peter Mayhew (the actor behind Chewbacca) also had #marfansyndrome, as did Abraham Lincoln.

I see a lot of posts where people are connecting through shared experiences with disabilities / medical conditions.

I then searched for one i was born with that has affected my life in several ways. If there is anyone looking for others with this genetic disorder on Mastodon / the Fediverse feel free to connect if you'd like. ❤️

Marfan Syndrome

I searched for the hashtag and don't see a lot here. While our numbers aren't huge, we do exist and i'm sure there have to be others who also have this genetic disorder.

Anyone seeing this feel free to connect if you'd like. ❤️

One of the most unexpected revelations post- #TopSurgery is that - yep - I do indeed have a minor case of #PectusExcavatum.

Except for flat feet (I worked hard to fix my collapsed arches) I now check off every box for having a mild expression of #MarfanSyndrome :0

TF does one do when they suspect they have a #GeneticDisorder?

@Alikat747 First encountered a reference to #MarfanSyndrome in the Sue Grafton books of all places. Interesting to read this - thanks for sharing

In light of the tragic death of #GrantWahl due to a ruptured #AscendingAorticAneurysm Id like to talk about one of the leading causes in otherwise healthy young ppl: #MarfanSyndrome Characterized by being tall with overly long arms, fingers, a convex or (mostly) concave chest among other traits, this silent killer is relatively easy to detect/treat IF you have regular checkups.

#introduction

I don't think I've ever made an introduction post anywhere but seeing as I know absolutely no one on this platform, let's go at it!

I'm Jeremiah. I'm one of a few #blue people living deep in a #red state. I'm #type1diabetic and have #marfansyndrome . Things I enjoy are #memes #discgolf #nfl , especially the #packers , #videogames and just about all things #nerdy.

I'm aspiring to become a better person and would love to surround myself with people who can help me do that.

I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Manda, a #romanceauthor, #romancereader, #mysteryreader, #democrat #Alabama native/resident. I've survived a plethora of health close calls including #bonecancer, #openheartsurgery, and #MarfanSyndrome. I'm owned by a cute but demanding Torbie cat named Toaster Strudel, and I'm on deadline so I probably should be writing.
