NOT Selling Myself Short: One Woman’s Journey with Turner Syndrome

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than

for someone who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.”   Matthew 19:24, NIV

Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal condition affecting approximately 1 out of 2500 girls. When one of the chromosomes we have as females is missing or damaged. Those with Turner Syndrome, or TS, experience a range of variable conditions. Short stature, webbed neck, infertility, problems with math are some of the descriptions for having TS, which I have. There are many other things that may occur as a result of having TS. Issues with our thyroid; heart, kidneys. The health concerns alone can seem overwhelming at times. If you have TS you know more than this. You know that besides the physical challenges there are social and emotional issues that come from having TS. Encouragement and understanding are so important in keeping a positive, affirmative outlook. This book is here to offer that.
