My daughter is 16 and has Smith Magena Syndrome and its a mystery to me some of the behaviors she is haveing. I do not know anyone that knows someone that has this syndrome. I am at the point that my head hurts, my heart and I am exhausted. If you can help me click on my avitar and you can e-mail me. Or if you know any information I will be watching for a responce. thank-you. A desperate mom.

I'm so sorry, but I can't find that spelling online. The closest is Schmidt Magena, but there is no information that I can find - I even looked on medical websites.
Whatever it is, your doctor should have given you literature to read or he can point you in the right direction.
