Bio
I am a first-generation adult with Classic Phenylketonuria (PKU). I was born in the '50s to a big family. I am the 7th child out of 8. I have two older siblings who were born with PKU. They are mentally retarded due to not being put on the diet. Pku was in its infancy and not well known. I can remember as a child traveling with my younger brother and my parents to Denver CO. We were seeing PKU doctors. I also remember psychologists getting tested to see how I was developing as a child, not fun.
