n - to remind you

My very good friend died from this leaving behind a husband a two young children. She was talking to her sister on the phone one afternoon when she just collapsed and died at the age of 32. Her 28 year old brother died from it 3 years previous.

I lost my brother last year and my Son this year, now we are all going for screening - people need to be aware of this situation - in the UK 8 a week - that is a lot of heartache - we need to read and learn.

Hi jennifer my sons mate mum died of this about aweek before her daughter was to start big school and she also left a daughter who has autism very sad. she went to bed and never woke up so very sad people really need to be aware Rosex

I am aware Jennifer, a friend of mine lost her boyfriends brother to it at 21, Carolx

Well said Jennifer...............I have to admit its so,ething I was never aware of.,..........till your posting. Thanks for that

I've never heard of it before, but will definitely look on the internet for details. It's obviously something that we need to be more aware of - thanks for posting this. Kaye x

How many of us are aware of SADS Sudden Adult Death Syndrome - it kills at least 8 young people per week - the list of medication to avoid if a known sufferer is endless-I know my Son was or had actually taken two of the ones on the list - also inhalers are on the list - how come we were not made more aware of this-my GP is arranging for me and my family to be screened - but it is tragic that we had to lose Stephen to be given this chance-please look on the internet and read up on this and make others aware. Thank you - Jennifer.
