Kallmann Syndrome
#12
RE: Kallmann Syndrome
I've not heard of Kalmann.

I've blabbed on about mine before, but since this thread is specifically for that purpose, I'll chime in again.
Click this link for more, but I'll quote what specifically applies to me.

http://spinabifidaassociation.org/what-is-sb/

Quote:Spina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the United States.

Spina Bifida literally means “split spine.”

Spina Bifida happens when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all of the way. Every day, about 8 babies born in the United States have Spina Bifida or a similar birth defect of the brain and spine.

...

Myelomeningocele (Meningomyelocele), also called Spina Bifida Cystica
This is the most severe form of Spina Bifida. It happens when parts of the spinal cord and nerves come through the open part of the spine. It causes nerve damage and other disabilities. 70 to 90% of children with this condition also have too much fluid on their brains. This happens because fluid that protects the brain and spinal cord is unable to drain like it should. The fluid builds up, causing pressure and swelling. Without treatment, a person’s head grows too big, and may have brain damage. Children who do not have Spina Bifida can also have this problem, so parents need to check with a doctor.

I'm not one to segregate with spina bifida patients, or even the disabled in general, but I do like a YouTuber that discusses spina bifida, which she has:
