There's a reality of living with PKU that's not talked about. Cooking for family that is not on PKU diet e.g.: meat, fish. It requires good organisation, logistics, more time than normally and skills non PKUers don't need. #adultpkuawareness

E.S.PKU @espku.org · 09/07/2026

Mental health of patient advocates is something we must talk about. We must not forget that advocacy its ups and downs influence mental health of advocates and if pressure is too high they may resign. #pkumentalhealth

000

E.S.PKU @espku.org · 09/07/2026

Advocacy has also positive influence on patient advocates. The awareness of their condition is bigger and they gain skills that may be useful in their jobs.

000

E.S.PKU @espku.org · 09/07/2026

Many PKU patient advocates have PKU themselves. Managing PKU highly influences their mental health. Advocacy adds another burden. #pkumentalhealth

000

E.S.PKU @espku.org · 04/07/2026

Pressure from patients, authorities and other members of the PKU community influence mental health of patient advocates. Handing these situations rewrites appropriate skills and the support from the community.

000

E.S.PKU @espku.org · 03/07/2026

Patient advocates are often the people others turn to in times of crisis. They listen, explain, support and carry the stories of countless individuals and families. Yet their own wellbeing is rarely part of the conversation. 📖 Read the full article: www.espku.org/2026/06/28/i...
