Hello, To understand your case better, you should get to know more about the diagnosis it was made to you: Sticklers Syndrome. This is a genetic disorder affecting collagen throughout the body. For your information, collages in a primary part of connective tissue, like bone, skin and cartilage. As this disorder is an autosomal dominant genetic condition, this means it may equally occur in males and females (autosomal) while the gene s traits will be exhibited in the child if the gene is passed on by the effected parent (dominant). Keep in mind that this is a disorder and not a disease. Although it is a progressive disorder, a person who has Stickler syndrome can live a long, happy and a healthy life. It won t affect your mental capacity. It is mostly affecting vision, joints and hearing. This explains your symptoms. Should keep regular follow ups with genetist, eye specialist, rheumatologist, and ENT specialist to evaluate the progression of the damages. You might need to wear glasses to correct the vision, plus might need eye intervention for retina problems. Antiinflammatory meds to treat possible muscular-skeletal issues. Should also monitor your blood sugar levels; and try to control your diabetes. So, you can prevent further damages to retina or other complications from diabetes. In other words, you need a specialized care by multiple specialists. All the best. Dr.Albana Sejdini General&Family Physician
