Meet Michael, a 54-year old aspiring short story writer who was diagnosed with #PKU at birth. His parents kept him on a special, low-protein diet shortly after birth, but, as he grew older, in accordance with disease guidance at the time, he introduced protein back into his diet and stopped taking his formula. This led to mood swings, irritability and difficulty focusing as a teenager and into adulthood. With help from his doctor, Michael is managing his PKU, working hard and setting goals to stay adherent to his management plan. He encourages others who might be struggling to consider going back to clinic and asking about a management plan.
