" Make sure she knows she's not alone... there is a great support system on this site for women with Turners... I am 45 years old an was diagnosed at age 12... I did the growth hormones for a few years then started on premarin and progesterone... It's a hard thing to go through, but the women I have met in the suppor group here are great!!! Best of luck... I'm praying for her!! "
