Diagnosis -Life!- Our Story
Indeed it is a matter of life & death to anyone with the Marfan Syndrome Gene in their family tree. By placing an order for a Kwik Plus II Rubber Stamp your stamp will help support a good cause for NMF and those with Marfan throughout the US.
We are especially grateful to the NMF for all their hard work in getting information out to physicians, hospitals and the public. When my 53-year old sister, with no prior heart problems, experienced severe chest pains, the EMT personnel recognizing near-fatal "heart attack" symptoms as that of "Marfan". In October 1998, a 12-hour lifesaving surgery by Dr. Frank at Loyola Medical Hospital restored the paper thin layers found in the aorta ventricle known as "aorta dissection" a result of the Marfan Gene which literally tears connective tissues.
Even more alarming was the fact that we've never heard of Marfan and early diagnosis of Marfan-related symptoms is extremely urgent. Four more of our family members have been tested for Marfan syndrome with acute mitro valve and pnuematic thorax problems. You will learn as I did throughout the Marfan-related websites that further surgery and medical attention is needed to correct problems with vision impairment, scoliosis, hernias and others.Please visit other Marfan sites to learn about NMF and more at the site listed Here.
