For the newly diagnosed

You have found your home within the Moebius syndrome community. The Moebius Syndrome Foundation offers resources, ways to connect with other families and individuals living with Moebius, events, volunteer opportunities, education and updates on scientific advances. It is our hope that you find all the support you need.

When you are first diagnosed:

Please don’t panic. When we first hear the diagnosis we automatically think the worst…

It is very difficult to enter into unknown territory. You will experience all kinds of emotions and you may feel very alone. With a rare condition it is difficult to find others who truly understand what you are feeling. Educate family and friends and allow them to participate in the process of understanding with you.

Your first steps:

You want to make sure you are acquiring correct information. After getting the specifics from your doctor or specialist, a good resource is the Moebius Syndrome Foundation. Check out the resources on our Website. Click here to receive an information packet. We also have t-shirts for babies and young toddlers. 

You can always email us or give us a call.

Connecting with others who have lived with Moebius is the most accurate, specific and up-to-date source of knowledge and support. Join one of the Facebook groups set up specifically to provide conversation and support. Find our groups here. You will be able to talk with other newly diagnosed families and ask questions and get the support you need.

Remember, you are not alone!

When you visit a doctor:

Do as much research as you can before your doctor’s visits. Arm yourself with information about Moebius to educate the doctor. Write down specific questions as you think of them, don’t rely on memory because this is a stressful time.

As you travel down this road:

This is a stressful time in your life but always remember that it will get easier as you gain information and support. You will become your own biggest advocate.
