📢 Mental health is part of PKU care. The new European PKU Guidelines say emotional wellbeing should be discussed at every clinic visit. Don’t be afraid to talk about stress, anxiety or daily challenges. Your voice matters. #PKU #MentalHealth #RareDisease

Day 2 of #shadesofpku for #IPKUDAY2025: A PKU diagnosis deeply impacts parents & siblings. Parents face anxiety; siblings' needs are often missed. Much inaccurate PKU info online! Act to correct it! Patient groups offer crucial support. All family members need psychological care.

Day 1 of #shadesofpku: Newborn Screening! 👶🔬 Robert Guthrie developed the first #PKU blood test in 1960. Early detection prevents disability & saves costs. Not all European countries screen for PKU-this is an #pkuunmetmedicalneed. Screen all! Screen refugees up to age 6. #IPKUDAY2025

This document is very important for people with PKU and for professionals taking care of PKUers. It also should be important for all decision makers regarding reimbursement of PKU formulas and low protein food.

Taka refleksja w związku z kampanią wyborczą. Uważam, iż powinny być wymogi dla kandydatów na Prezydenta RP wykształcenie wyższe, znajomość języków obcych: język angielski obowiązkowo, wysoki poziom kultury osobistej, nie sprzyjanie obcym państwom.

We take so many things for granted and it would never cross our minds that that something would stop being available. Newborn screening safes lifes and changes it for the better. I stand with the USA PKU Community and hope things will be better soon.

The quality of care of adults with PKU is different from the quality of care of children with PKU. The quality of care of adults with PKU varies throughout Europe. Adult life with PKU has its challenges and we need adults to tell us about them and raise #adultpkuawareness

When I was little 'Adventures of the Gummi Bears' was popular in PL & they had a Gummiberry Juice thx to which could jump very high. Some parents use similar story to explain why kids with #PKU have to drink a special Formula. #pkulifestories

Małgorzata Henek @malhen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

It's visible how the approach to the children has changed over 30 years. Every child is different and their parents need to adjust the way they communicate certain things especially if that child suffers from a rare disease that requires strict medical nutrition therapy. #pkulifestories
