共用题干 A Personal Look at Kllnefelter Syndrome1 I was diagnosed with Kllnefelter Syndrome(KS)(遗传性细精管发育不全)a little morethan a year ago,at the age of 25,in February 1996.Being diagnosed has been a big sighof relief after a life of frustrations.Throughout my early childhood and adolescence,I wasvery shy,reserved,and had trouble making friends.I would fly into rages for no apparentreason.My parents knew when I was very young that there was something about me thatwasn't right.2 I saw many psychologists, psychiatrists(精神科医生),therapists(临床医学家),anddoctors,and their only diagnosis was"learning disabilities".In the seventh grade,I wastold by a psychologist that I was stupid and lazy,and I would never amount to anything. After barely graduating from high school , I started out at a local community college.Ireceived an associate degree in business administration , and never once sought specialhelp.I transferred to a small liberal arts college to finish up my bachelor of science degree,and spent an extra year to complete a second degree. Then I started a job as a softwareengineer for an Internet-based company.I have been using computers for 17 years andhave learned everything I needed to know on my own.3 To find out my KS diagnosis. I had gone to my general physician for a physicalexamination.He noticed that my testes(睾丸)were smaller than they should be and sentme for blood work. The karyotype(染色体组型)showed KS, 47, XXY. After seeingthe symptoms of KS and what effects they might have,I found it described me perlectly.But,after getting over the initial shock and dealing with the denial,depression,andanger,I decided that there could be things much worse in life,I decided to take a positiveapproach.4 There are several types of treatments for KS. I give myself a testosterone(睾丸素)injection once every two weeks.My learning and thought processes have become stronger, and I take greater pleasure in meeting other people and have become more of a leader. Granted,not all of this is due to the increased testosterone level,some of it is from a newconfidence level and from maturing.5 I feel that parents who are finding out prior to the birth of their son that he will have KSare very lucky.There is so much they can do to help their child have a great life.I havehad almost all of the symptoms at some time in my life,and I've gotten through and donewell.
