all my friends think i have it because i'm really tall, thin, and i have bad eyesite (it's like 20/200). we watched a movie on it in science but i didn't get to see it all, so i didn't really know much about it. i know a lot of people have no idea what it is, so i was wondering if anyone here knew about it.
i found a website about it: marfan's disease |

yeah i can pretty much do all of that...but i'm not as strong as a lot of my friends and (i don't know if this has anything to do with it) a lot of time my blood doesn't keep my hands and feet warm enough so they are almost always cold. i have all the physical symptoms, like my long narrow face, long, skinny limbs, high roofed mouth, bad eyesite...it's pretty weird.
maybe i'm just freaking out i dunno... |

Are your friends professional doctors? I doubt it. Don't listen to them. If you think you have it, see a doctor who can effectively diagnose it for you. You're still young, so I think you're still growing. (A possible answer to the fact that you're tall, thin, etc.) A lot of things seem out of proportion when you're 13, so that's nothing new.
I say don't worry until you see a doctor. |
