Well, yea. I walked into a pet store, and the cashier walked yet and asked if I had Marfan's, and of course I had no idea wtf he was talking about. So he explains this whole thing, the symptoms, and physical traits. He of course has this. It is a mutation of the muscles of the heart, and joints. Making whoever has it tall, skinny, and bony. All of which I am, and he was. He asks me it I have an indent in my chest, which I do. stigmatizations(not sure if I spelled that right) in my eyes, I do. Big hands, and the ability it put my arm behind my back to were the shoulders turn so I can bend my elbow along my spine up to my neck, I can do. I can also take my thumb and place it behind my hand passed the knuckles.

The bad thing about this syndrome is it can be fatal if left untreated, the persons heart would fail.

So, I am getting checked for it once my appointment being made tomorrow comes through.

Here is the definition:

Marfan syndrome is an inheritable disorder of connective tissue, the tissue that strengthens the body's structures. Disorders of connective tissue affect the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, eyes, and skin.
