Brittany Here! we thought we would start from the beginning and describe what TS is exactly, so here goes:
What is Turner's syndrome?
Stay with me as I
unleash the mysteries of the UNIVERSE.
Turner’s syndrome was
discovered in the 30s by a doctor named Turner.
It is a chromosomal disorder. Having an XY chromosome pair makes you a
boy, and having an XX pair makes you a girl.
Chromosomes hold DNA, which makes us who we are.
TS occurs when the
second X chromosome is misshapen or missing completely
The symptoms and TS include: shortness, infertility, lack of
menstruation, webbed neck, puffy toes and fingers, a high pallet, High hair line
and a deeply ingrained hatred of math. They also are good at reading and
writing, but may not do so well in the social realm. Motor skills may take longer to develop.
Girls
with TS may be prone to NLD. This is Non Verbal Learning disorder, which has
its own long set of symptoms. These include, problems with directions and
social situations,
In middle and high
school, the main issue may be that the lack of boobs, but later, the
infertility may become a bigger issue.

I think it is a big "eye opener",for me; I am glad that there are many groups to "belong" and feel welcome in.I am learning so much about myself,and am grateful to have support and true "Friends" who share what I go through.I truly feel the Sun "shine" in my heart.
