Our LDS stories are unique, valuable, and show what it is really like to live and work with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). By sharing these stories, we hope to help people in the LDS community feel connected, supported, and informed.
The stories are written by people with Loeys-Dietz syndrome as well as by their loved ones, medical professionals, and other community members. They share the medical, emotional, and social realities of their lives.
Their journeys are unique, but often have common themes: individuals fighting for a diagnosis, parents looking for answers for their sick children, and families navigating a new life with LDS – challenges, hope, and all.
