Is there anybody here now who has Marfan Syndrome?


I am being tested at the moment. So far I have 2 major and 2 minor criteria. I have been doing some reading and have scared myself half to death! Are there any Marfan sufferers here now that I could talk to please?

We would be happy to talk with you about Marfans. I am "Owner" of a Marfan support group and also deeply involved in another. Mine is called "Marfan Connection" and we are a relatively new group. and "Marfans Support and Chat" is a more established group with many more members. There are dozens of us who would be happy to share information with you! Plz contact me!
You did not say where you are located, but these groups are based in the US and we have conference call type chats 5 evenings a week, the next one will be on Wednesday, Nov28th,

Here's a link to the Nation Marfan Foundation- http://www.marfan.org/nmf/index.jsp

Here's a chat room for Marfan sufferers- http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/darrenmcdean/...

Here's a Marfan sufferer's home page- http://www.io.com/~cortese/marfan/

and a message from a Marfan sufferer on Youtube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QWzWUlcn...

Finally, the experiences of a person with Marfan syndrome as posted on patient.com http://experience.patient.co.uk/discussi...

That chat room looks like a really good place to discuss things with other people with Marfan's, why not check it out? Hope the other links are of some use too x. Good luck Lazlouz!

Place your thumb on your palm. Close your other fingers over the top of it. If your thumb doesn't pop out the bottom of your fingers you probably don't have Marfan's

I do not have it but I know a good bit about it.
