bjbjA Women and Girls with Turner Syndrome KRISTA Hi. I m Krista. I have Turner Syndrome.
Turners is a genetic condition that affects only women and girls. SARAH Women and girls
with Turners have only have one chromosome instead of the usual 2. KRISTA And it s called
a syndrome because there are more than just one set of symptoms. Turners shows up differently
in all of us. MARY Even though there are things most of us share are things like needing to
take hormone supplements. MAGGIE And many of us are short. SUSAN and I ve rearranged
my kitchen so I can reach almost everything and I found a car that can adjust to my size.
MAGGIE I wear tall shoes to get on the roller coaster. KRISTA As you can see, we ve learned
to make adjustments but there s more - like infertility. SHIRLEY Turners means I had my
son through adoption, the greatest gift my husband and I have been given. Brigit Others
couples consider in vitro fertilization. Maggie Women and girls with Turners can have other
health issues as well. KRISTA Some women have high blood pressure, anemia, stomach problems
or even auto immune issues. But no matter what the problems are, we all find ways of
dealing with those challenges. SUSAN I wear 2 hearing aids so I ask people to look at
me when they re speaking to me and that works just fine. SHIRLEY I have celiac disease so
I have to be selective about what I eat. I have to be careful about all areas of my health,
especially since I m older, so I ve learned to be an advocate for my health. SARAH I had
some operations when I was younger and now I m fine. I lead a pretty normal life. KRISTA
But regardless of what our health issues are, the key to coping successfully is finding
a network of support. MARY My mother is a great encouragement and inspiration to me
and my husband in his own way has taught me a lot. KRYSTA I know I couldn t have accomplished
what I have without my family. SHIRLEY The Turner Syndrome Society keeps us connected
with each other and keeps us informed about the latest scientific breakthroughs. KRISTA
Through it all, we ve learned a lot not just about Turner Syndrome, but about ourselves.
MARY That we re capable. KRYSTA Because we choose to be. SHIRLEY Turners has taught me
to be resourceful and even persistent! MAGGIE That we re tough and we never give up! KRYSTA
Turners hasn t held us back! I'm a clinical educator and a prenatal nurse. MARY I have
a masters in cell biology and a career in bio chemical research - but I m most proud
of being a mom to our adopted son and daughter. SHIRLEY m a teacher and a music director and
delighted to have directed choirs in Roy Thompson and Massey Hall. SARAH I finished 4 years
of college in marketing and advertising. I ll soon have 2 diplomas! MAGGIE m top of my
class in math. SARAH Yes, I have Turner Syndrome and sometimes that does mean challenges, KRISTA
But each of has come a long way and each of us has discovered some important things. SARAH
that we won t let our challenges get the better of us MAGGIE staying informed is vital MARY
and that developing skills takes us through whatever we re facing. SHIRLEY ve learned
how strong we can be - and how much we can accomplish. SHIRLEY ll never let Turners excuse
me from living my life to the fullest. MAGGIE or define who I am. KRISTA With our network
of support each of us are creating our own beautiful lives and despite the difficulties
- we can do anything! SARAH t go it alone. I invite you to join us. hg&] hg&] hV!j :p~<
