HI,

My 25 yr old son also has APS1.  We live in Houston, Tx. His also began at an early age  with yeast and eye problems but was not diagnosed until age 19. He does very well on a daily basis as long as he takes his medication.

This is a wonderful website with very helpful and caring people. You have come to the right place. Good Luck in  finding a Endocrinologist who is knowledgeable in APS. If you have any other questions for concerns please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care, Vicki

Hello, our 19 month old son was just diagnosed with APECED. It was
confirmed with a genetic test. His symptom was candidiasis - recurring,
a rash that lasted 6 months and soft stool chronically. My wife and I
are seeking where to turn for the best medical care and useful
information from those who have this. Any stories and prognosis would
give us hope. Presently we are very scared from what we read here.
We would greatly appreciate any support - and any networking or support
groups that can help us. Can people live long quality lives with this
disorder? Please help
