Re: young adult question (KS)

[Guest guest]

i've read the link you posted, and what i read disheartens me.

symptons:

1. They may experience learning difficulties (i have ADD)

2. especially with verbal or spoken skills (i have trouble expressing

myself, and putting words together)

3. They may have difficulty in concentrating for more than a few

minutes on any single topic (ADD again)

4. They may have problems in socialising with other children of their

own age group (somewhat of a problem)

5. This affects their ability to learn to read and spell, as well as

their ability to learn arithmetic skills (no problems spelling, some

problems reading)

6. they may develop breast enlargement (no)

7. If testosterone is low, muscle development and beard growth may be

reduced, and sexual interest lowered (yes)

8. Men with KS are usually sterile (no clue)

9.

They tend to have longer arms and legs and tend to be taller than

their peers (i am 6'0)

10. Lack of emotion, fatigue and apathy are common (yes becoming more

of a problem)

honestly i am scared to death how closely i identify with this. i am

glad i have found this message board, and have people to talk about

it, but at the same time, i feel sad because in order to help myself

it will be a very very long road ahead of me. for the people who

know/dealt with KS, what do you recommend i do?

You may not be ks. Those are symptoms of ks but they are also

symptoms of low testosterone.

First thing, go to your doctor (whoever you got your t test from),

and get tested for ks. Then you will know. Until then, don't worry

too much about that aspect. The most important thing now is to

figure out why your t is low. the other test you need are:

LH

FSH

Prolactin

Ferratin

Total T (Again)

Free T

Estradiol

SHBG

thadon,

You ask: " What do you recommend I do? " , with obvious

apprehension.

I recommend you avoid anxiety as much as possible. It can

cause at least 6 of those 10 symptoms., in and of itself. Worry

won't make things clearer, easier, faster or better, quite the

contrary. Yeah, easier said than done.

Ask your doctor if you can get tested for KS, as part of

investigating your symptoms.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Never worry about things you can not change.

Find your strong points & go with them.

I have a degree in Computer Science.

If you have KS or KSM you can try Testosterone supplements to see if

they help. They helped me.

I have many of the conditions listed. My extra female chromosomes

seem to be in my upper body. I have 42C breast along with weakened

sperm. I am married for many years & have children. It took several

thousand trys for the first pregnancy, but it was fun trying. Lack of

upper body hair is a blessing in not having to shave every day.

I have learning problems with speaking, writing, & spelling of

English language. Reading is no problem. 3D visualization is good

with me.

But computer languages are the way I make my living. I can write &

speak several computer languages with no problem.

Many KS guys seem to be in the computer fields. Maybe it is just a

field that attracts loners or maybe it is a field of special language

we can understand & write.

Go with the positive & good luck.
