Hello!  My name is Kristina Fox, I live in Tallahassee and was diagnosed with Swyer-James Syndrome.  I have severe medical problems due to this condition and I am currently on alot of medication.  I would really like to speak with anyone who also suffers from this or has a child with the condition.  If anyone knows of a doctor who is a little more versed with the disease I would appreciate knowing who he/she is!  Thank a bunch!
