My 13 year old daughter has Situs Inversus Totalis, does anyone have any informa!
Question: This is a genetic birth condition which means that all of her internal organs are reversed. She does not have any illnesses associated with it, however we don`t know much about any long term effects as it extremely rare (0.01% of the population). Any information would be helpful.

My cousin has this also. She's probably close to 50 now. I'm not sure of her age as I haven't seen her for years.
She's led a "normal" life including having 6 children! The only major health problem she's had is asthma, but she was in dance and later on the drill team in high school.
For more information, you can try webmd.com, or mayoclinic.com. Those are the best medical websites I know of for information on any medical questions.
I would'nt worry to much, think of her as being the mirror image of a regular person. there are much worse things she could have been born with. But i highly doubt it will have any long term effects, they're just the other way round, so everything else in her body will be adapted to it. The only thing i can think of to worry about is if she ever gets appendicitis, it will be on the left for her... Remind that to the doctors if she ever gets bad stomach pain
