    Thanks for sharing your story, Charlotte! I'm 28 and have mosaic Turners. I'm American, but living and teaching English in France, so I'm very independent and loved what you said about not letting anything stop you from living your life.

      I'm happy you made to 48. I don't think I will... Turner sucks, big time. I'm 24, and I have been depressed ever since the age of 10 (I was diagnosed at 5, but at that age I didn't have the mental capacity to understand what's going on). Hate myself everyday. Hate the shortness. Hate being neither male, nor really properly female. Hate the thyroid condition. Hate the psoriasis. Hate the swollen legs. Hate having to fucking estrogen...

    I also have turners syndrome too and would love to share my story with yo all!,.. So I also had a lot of growing problems, ear infection, etc,.. but when I was about 6, I had stopped growing completely and thats how my parents knew something was wrong,. so they had a karyotype done on me (my parents are both physicians), and thats how I found out I had it,. I then got growth hormones to help,.. I also have had a moderate hearing loss since age 7,8,., learning disabilities, etc,.. But now I am 22, almost 23 in month, and I just finished my 3rd year of university with almost a 4.0 GPA! (last semester got 3.9, but still waiting to see how I did this semester but I think it all went ver well) getting a BA in music, since I sing and play piano, and then plan to be an audiologist,. exactly what I ever wanted,..

      @user-cv8ui5ir2d 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would say, yes. Because, with the mosaic variation, only certain cells in the body are missing the second sex chromosome. With the classic one, all cell have only one chromosome in them. @@ldee4127

      ​@@The_Great_Humanit's not a disease. I suppose you know that human females have XX chromosomes while the males have XY. If the chromosomes don't separate properly during segregation (during cell division) it leads to gain/loss of a set of chromosomes. In the case of Turner's syndrome,one X chromosome is lost from the cell. Therefore,it is usually said that the females with this syndrome are not 'feminine'. They are also sterile (can't reproduce)

    My doughter with ts has always been a very angry person. She screams when she is angry and it takes many many hours up to over nine hours before she quiets herself. Nothing you do changes her. She is a stubborn personality and wants things her own way. Is angry issues usual to turnéer syndrome people? Because my doughter is very much as a child with dawn syndrome. She loves to eat and she is as I said very stubborn. She wants to decide everything herself. She does not like rules. Is this something you recognizes in the turner syndrome personality? A big problem is that she screams so loud and for such long time and she even says that she does not care about the neighburs. Not okey.

      I am stubborn too, and want to do things in my own way? Hahaha, of course.
      But, I really recommend you get professional help, because you can have something more than Turner, is possible, like autism, I don't know, but if the correct treatment she can get better.
      I always was different, but my mom refused to treat me like someone with down and didn't let anyone treat me like that, when she discovered the Turner syndrome she had a shock, but even then she always believed in my potential.

      I am angry. But angry at NOT being fucking normal. I look at myself in the mirror and all I see is a monster. I look feminine, but I know all well that I'm neither male, nor properly female. Suffer from a major case of Napoleonic complex. I feel emotions easily, but feel ashamed for it. I feel like I got screwed over by those deleted chromosomes. Wish I had never been born. My mom doesn't understand either. But then again - she didn't have to go through growth hormone shorts every day for years, she's not super short, she produces estrogen, she has fucking boobs, she wasn't bullied because of her shortness, she didn't grow up hating herself and the world around her...

      Basically, we have 45 chromosomes, not 46 like the other people.
      The other people have XX for girl and XY for boys, but, in Turner's syndrome we have just one X, so, we are all girls, the classic Turner lost completely the last X.
