Rapt0r SG

I enlisted on 14 Sep 2010 into PTP with pes B1l1, I went to a polyclinic for medical checkup for being severely underweight my height is 180cm weight is 48kg and was referred to a GM doctor in TTSH. I was given appointment to check for marfan syndrome[TTSH GM Doctor say I'm marfanoid after examining], the doctor at NUH examine and say I got no symtoms of the syndrome by judging externally, then he send me for two more appointments one to check if the lense in the eyes have shifted and the other one is echocardiogram,dates are 15 and 22 Nov respectively. I am now into the 8th week of PTP and was given 3 months attend b until everything is checked finish by the doctor til 25 Jan 2011,would I need to start PTP and then on to BMT all over again?

If you have marfan syndrome OR simliar then good luck to you, sure go all the way to Pes E or even F. It is a matter of time before your heart, lungs, eyes, muscules, bone, tendons and joints start to fail, enjoy your life now, when you are still alive. Good luck.

It isnt a joke but going to BMT or whatever is the least thing you should worry about.

The life expectancy for a marfan syndrome sufferer is 30 years old max. And with good medical and treatment, half of them may live past 70 years old.

If you are 18 now, you have about 12 more years to live. Good luck. Start praying to God now, blah. Compared to that 19 year old guy, you can stay alive for another ten years more.Comfort yourself considered lucky blah...

And for now, SERIOUSLY DONT DO ANYTHING STRESSFUL UNTIL YOU ARE VERIFY THAT YOU DONT HAVE THIS DISEASE. THE TENDON AND LIGAMENT ARE LIKE TISSUE PAPER, EASILY TORN INTO TWO.

you should search more on this disease on the internet. it is a well studied no-cure diesease.

hope this post will not upset you.

The doctor at NUH said I do not have the external features of marfan syndrome so left the heart and eyes,for my heart I had a echocardiogram at Alexandra hospital before enlisting and the results were fine so I don't think I have problems with the heart as for the shifting of the lense in the eye I not sure and yes I have researched about marfan syndrome.

I say "or similar". There are many type of connective tissue disorder. The doctor is expecting or suspecting something before they send you for test.

You say that doctor say you are marfaniod. Hypermobility itself can also be downgraded to Pes C9 or lower. These people tend injury themselves easily with dislocation, arthritis etc. Based on your BMI, it is considered highly abnormal..

Dont worry too much, wait for the medical side to give you can answer and follow it accordingly.
