To be precise I wonder if PKU doctors know that menstrual cycle influences PHE levels and causes them to rise. This shows we really don't know everything about PKU.

I would love to read it. I never thought of that. It's really frustrating as these days are hard in general and when I read this research many things became clearer. I wonder how menopause will influence PHE levels and if PKU doctors know about it. My last PKU didn't know about it.

Happy International PKU Day! #IPKUDAY2025 πŸŒπŸŽ‰ Let's celebrate what we have. However PKU is not a solved problem. All European countries have gaps in care that need improvement. I recommend @espku.org
campaign #shadesofpku to see how life with PKU looks like in Europe.

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! πŸ‘ΆπŸ”¬ 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
