I was diagnosed with Klienfelter's 47 XXY at the age of 13. My genitals were under developed at that age. I had several tests done including a blood test. That is where they found the 47 XXY. At that time and living in South Louisiana , my parents living on a retirement income. I wasn't offered any treatments the only thing we were told was that I would be sterile. That news really fucked with my head for several years. I was a quite and shy growing up. I was deemed lazy in school ( now ADD ). I have a sister that is 3 yrs. older she was always on the honor roll in school. I was always compared to her which made me mad. I passed school but had to go to summer school to do it,twice.
After school I worked various jobs. Untill I found something I liked and was good at it. I started at the age of 20 working on Helicopters and have been doing so since. I have always pushed myself to do more than others. And now it's a part of me .
As far as treatment goes I didn't start on "T" therapy untill the age of 30. I started gaining weight no matter what I did. I wound up starving myself only eating 2-3 times a week. I went to my doctor he did some tests and found out that my "T" levels weren't even detectable. And my estrogen level was way up there. I strated with the gels and creams , That didn't have the effect on me that I needed. I have been on shots ever since. 1cc 200mg every 7 days. I give myself the shots .
i always felt different from everyone else. As time went by my shyness went away. I stayed single untill the age of 39 when i got married. I still feel different and through years of Therapy have come to terms with the fact that I am Bi. I have never been with another man although I think of it often. But I am Very Happy with my marriage and my life and don't see me changing it in any way. I have more to write will come back at a later date and add to this.
