TS Fact # 5

There are other conditions associated with TS that are not physical.  Some include:

- infertility/ ovarian failure

- kidney issues/ infections

- heart abnormalities

- hearing loss/ infections

- social anxiety

- lymphedema

- type II diabetes

- hypothyroidism

- hypertension

- educational difficulties

- osteoporosis

- dental problems

Once again, every TS case is different.  A patient may not experience all these difficulties.

Proud to be 1 in 2000!!

February is Turner Syndrome Awareness month!

This little known chromosomal condition, which occurs only in girls, is completely random.  Your sister, mother, daughter, or niece can be effected by TS.  Which means it is important to learn the symptoms and bring your concerns to your doctor.

Each day for the rest of the month, I will post about the history, symptoms, facts and ways to spread awareness for TS.  

I am proud to be 1 in 2000!
