So I have never done anything like this before. To be honest I'm not even sure where to begin. Perhaps telling you all a little bit about me and Turner Syndrome would be a good place to start. My name is Samantha. I am 34 years old. I was born at Ft. Sill Oklahoma. I was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome at birth. I weighed in at only 4 pounds, 10 ounces. I was so small that my parents could not take me home until I gained weight. You're probably wondering what TS is. Not many people have heard of it before. Usually when I tell someone that I have it, the first thing they ask me is "What is that?" Well Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that effects 1 in 2500 girls. It is caused by a missing X chromosome. It is believed that 98% of the baby girls with Turner Syndrome are either stillborn or do not make it full term. I am happy, and extremely blessed, to say that I have overcome that and I will be celebrating 35 years in March 2017. I've had 34 great years that I wasn't promised. 34 years that I couldn't be more grateful for. I'm going to include a link to a site that can go more into depth about TS than I can, as I want to be as accurate as possible. I would really love to raise awareness. I hope that this is a good start and if you have TS, please feel free to follow me on Twitter @sammy_shock
I would love to connect with other ladies like myself. Lots of light and love to you all!
