Story about Poland Syndrome , Poland Syndrome.

Life’s challenges made me stronger

Sep 18, 2019

By: Sharon

Year Condition Began: 1965


Spent nearly 50 years hiding myself and wondering why me, why wasn’t I perfect like everyone else. Once diagnosed at 50 I have taken strength from those who are also not alone any longer and are like me. I have now come to terms with the fact that the challenges I faced actually made me stronger. I still choose not to tell people not out of shame any more but just so I’m not looked at or treated any different. Only those close to me I actually tell now but I do tell people which would have never happened in the past.
Right side affected, no surgery and no plans to as I am happy as I am now. Only taken 54 years but got there in the end.
