Hi everyone, Not sure where to start but if any one out there can help and offer advice would be very grateful. My husband has been diagnosed with KFS after a long period of time undergoing testing. Not that we have the diagnosis not quite sure how to feel about it. My husband doesnt really want to talk about it. We are now awaiting further tests on his parents to establish whether it is genetic? This is worrying and I fear for the future for our children.

Feel confused as glad we finally have a diagnosis but bit numb about it all really.

Any support welcome.......

Thanks

Emma

Emma,

What kind of doctors are doing testing? It's not necessarily genitic, but can be. I Have KFS and didn't know most of my life. Every body had different symptoms. I don't now how sever it is and this is all new to me too. I wish there were spoecialists for this.We're all in this together.

Mine is not genitic, but

The only thing that I can tell you is to do a lot of research! Although there are many doctors out there, not many of them know what KFS is. There are many different things that can be associated with KFS. For instance I also have Platybasia, Kyphosis, Congenital fusion of C1 & C2 plus C5,6 & 7 are fused together. I also have Sprengles disease. But just as you, I am looking for answers. I do however, understand what your husband is going through. What I do know is that He has a wonderful supporting wife! The more knowledge that you obtain about KFS, the better you will be at helping him through it.

My Chiropractor found my condition and has been assiting me in educating myself on the subject. Get books, look online....where-ever there is info on KFS read it!

Always here for support!
