I have been very busy lately and I haven't blogged for a while. So now is the perfect time. This week is the VCFS 22q11 Awareness week in Australia and in many other states across the USA. I feel its is very important for us to share information about this condition.
I read an article the other day where a man was not diagnosed until he was 43 after 30 years of seizures!!!! Why oh why does this have to happen. If VCFS 22q11 affects 1 in 2000 why on earth do most professionals in the medical industry not know about it?? LETS CHANGE THAT
It doesn't take a lot to spread the word. I urge all of you to share information about VCFS 22q11 on Facebook, Twitter and all other social media avenues. Email friends and family world wide. Share a link to our website.
I am dedicated to making this disorder a household name. Some might say its a bit of an obsession with me. Well they may be right. I just feel that I cannot sit back and let people go untreated, mis diagnosed or not diagnosed at all .
Please help me on my mission!!!
