Hi Penny,
My name is Marianne and I have Sticklers and Pierre Robin Syndrome.
I'm not sure what age I was diagnosed.I'm 37 and live in Australia. I
have a 17 year old son who also has both of these syndromes. He was
diagnosed at 3mths with Sticklers.
It can be tough dealing with these conditions when doctors don't know
much about it.
I don't write much in the forums as most of the people in here live
in the USA and it seems things get done a bit differently over there,
but if you want to talk feel free to drop me a line.
Marianne
