Response: Turner's Syndrome

I recently read about a sad disease called Turner's Syndrome. Women are the only ones who can get this disease and the symptoms are:

• Folded skin near the neck
• Shorter than average women
• Swelling on hands and feet
• Life is shorter

I still have some questions though. Why does Turner's syndrome only happen to women? Also, is it possible that treatment can help you overcome this disease fully? This disease is not good because you can easily tell if someone has Turner's and women might not want to go out in public. People need to find a cure for Turner's because it might become worse over the years and effect more people. I think this disease is terrible because it risks peoples lives and makes them suffer for the short lives that they have. I do not personally know anybody with Turner's Syndrome but, hopefully they will find a cure for this painful and horrific disease. I got this information from: http://textqueen96.blogspot.com/
