Although certainly not world famous, I am a successful composer and choir conductor living in South Africa. I inherited the syndrome from my father, and we have had symptoms in our family for many generations.
My life has been perfectly normal, and in spite of my abnormal fingernails I am a gifted pianist with various music degrees and qualifications to my credit. I am also happily married, and have three sons, who do not have the syndrome at all.
I do believe in NOT having silly hangups about a condition, which, although visible, has not affected my life negatively to any noticeable degree.
