Heather,
That is so cool. I'm vegan and attended a Health Educator training in 2009.
I learned about Crohn's disease but never heard of HPS. In addition, I
worked for the division of Blind Services in Florida from 2005-2008. I had
several clients with Alvinism but none with HPS. I thought I'd heard of
lots of syndromes but, this is a new one. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to
know if certain folks would be helped by becoming vegetarian or vegan. Do
you have any information on that? Hey, this might be off-topic but,
sometimes, someone presents something interesting and new and it's okay.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Denise Shaible

Thanks Cindy! The list is so busy I was leery of posting something that was
sort of off topic. You know, if you have a client with HPS, they might have
also not ever heard of it. Unfortunately, most people don't come to us until
they've had something bad happen. When I was a voc rehab client in college I
had no idea I had HPS. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 29. I knew I had
albinism, but had never heard of HPS. I did have Crohn's. Now, I
occassionally give training talks to voc rehab groups. I tell them it's just
like having a client with diabetes. To reach your greatest potential, you've
got to be healthy. A client with albinism that seems unmotivated, or doesn't
seem to complete anything might just be lazy, but they also might not be
well and not even realize it. When you get sick gradually, it's your new
normal. You don't realize how sick you are until you start to feel better
again.

Heather,
One thing I know with this group is we are all willing to learn. Thank you
for sharing about the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome. I had not heard of this
disorder.
I now have a resource in case I have a client with HPS.
Thanks,
Cindy

Sorry - Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome. It's a type of albinism that also
involves a bleeding disorder. Some types also cause Crohn's disease and
pulmonary fibrosis - an ultiimately fatal lung disease. The vision issues
are due to the lack of pigment in eye development. Our conference tends to
be a little different than say, an NFB conference, as we tend to focus more
on medical issues. HPS is so very rare that our families can't even always
rely on their local docs to know specifics about treatment etc. There are
only a few docs in the world that really know much about it. The conference
gives the families a chance to learn from them and meet with them to ask
questions etc.
Sorry - hope that wasn't too off topic! Grin!

I tried it twice more, and on the second try, it worked! Probably a problem
on my end. Thanks!!!!
We have our HPS conference coming up. Our kids always do a craft project. We
try to either make it something that we can give to our researchers as a
gift, or something that ties into our banquet dinner.
This year our banquet dinner is on St. Patty's Day. If anyone has any
inexpensive and kid friendly St. Patty's Day project ideas, I'd LOVE to hear
them. Grin!
(PS - kids with HPS are usually legally blind - thus the tie -in to the
list)

Webpage cannot be found is sort of a good discription for my brain today,
so it
wouldn't surprise me.
