Hi everyone, This is a very different video to what I normally film but I really wanted to share this part of my life and spread some awareness. Useful Links: www.nhs.uk/conditions/noonan-... www.noonansyndrome.org.uk/ Natalie x

Thank you so much for sharing. I just found out my 2 year old son has Noonan syndrome and it’s so nice to hear others that are living with Noonan syndrome speak a bit about it. It can be a scary process for the parents in the beginning and it’s nice when others share their stories.

This is the reason why I wanted to share my story, I am so happy it's helping others. I wish you and your son all the best. If you have any questions then please let me know, I know my Mum would also help answer if you need something from a parents perspective. x

Thank you so so much for sharing! We found out my 2 1/2year old son has noonans last week and hearing someone who has actually lived with the divergence really helps. You’re incredibly brave and it’s so reassuring to see how amazingly you’re thriving! 💜✨ xx

My daughter was born with noonan syndrome. She had open heart surgery at 2 months old and a stint put in at 2 years old. She was put on a transplant list after the open heart surgery because she went into congestive heart failure. She miraculously pulled through and improved though. She still has health problems but is a very opinionated 15 year old now 😁

It's so exciting to see a noonie online! My brother was diagnosed at like 3 months, had JMML (leukaemia often associated with Noonans) and open heart surgery etc etc (he's 19 and thriving now!) We are 99% my mum has it but genetic testing is crap and they weren't remotely thorough so she hasn't had confirmation. We used to go to the noonan conference meets annually in the UK, it's just so nice to be surrounded by those who get it! The amount of Dr's who don't know what it is, is mad, so we loved going and not having to explain random life stuff. Thanks for sharing this, it's so nice to see the community I grew up around in more mainstream settings 😊

Thank you so much for sharing! I feel like the more we talk about it the more we can educate, I'm so happy that people are finding this video and it's amazing hearing all the different stories and experiences. The amount of time I have had to explain my condition to people is insane. One Dr said that they had never seen the condition outside of a textbook before me, with my recent heart surgery I had so many Doctors and Surgeons in training around me so at least they'll know about this condition. Apparently my case was their exam!

I’ve known I’ve had this condition for awile, I’m trying to motivate myself to not listen to all of the highschoolers bulling me for my height. Many people have told me I will not be successful because of that. This has been told to me my entire life.
@nataliekaminski Жыл бұрын
I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with this that is a horrible situation to be in. Please know that height has nothing to do with how successful you can be, it may make some things more difficult but it doesn't stop us. Just know that people can be ignorant and I hope you know how much protentional you really have. What would you love to do?

Thank you for sharing, it is good to hear from a young adult who faces the challenges Noonan's presently. My grandson age 9 was found to have Noonan's soon after birth due to physical charitarians then genetically confirmed. He has had many surgeries BUT doing great including open heart surgery. Challenges in learning, gaining weight, height but very active, happy and living a great life.

I was very interested in watching your video because videos about life experiencies with Noonan Syndrome are very rare. I have Noonan Syndrome as well but very different symptons. I was diagnosed very late, when I was 12 years old and they diagnosed me the same day with slow growth because my hypophysis doesn`t work very well. So I got growth hormones and now I´m 5.2 (I´m from Germany so we would say I´m 1,6 Meter ;) ) I wish you good luck with your heart surgery. I think it would be great, if more people would share their experiences with deseases like genetic syndromes especially rare deseases because it can help people to not feel alone. Another Quesion: At about 10:00 you say down and noonan syndrome are sharing some symptoms. I always thought Turner and Noonan are sharing a lot of symptoms but down syndrome is very different in my opinion... (Oh and sorry for making some mistakes in this text. I have never been good at foreign languages)

You've done amazingly with writing this so no worries. I feel like it's so important that we share these things as it helps connect us and let other people know their not alone, one reason why I made this video is because I couldn't find much on KZfaq. I find it so interesting to learn when people were diagnosed as I feel this really changes a persons experience. Thank you for the good luck, I will definitely be posting more videos about this once this surgery happens. From what I understand Turner syndrome use to be confused for Noonan syndrome but their were some characteristics that linked them however I am very aware that new information is found all the time with these conditions so what I've said maybe inaccurate. Thank you for sharing your story.
