I'm feeling ok, but my immune system is slowly destroying the pigment in my skin so I'll just get whiter and whiter for the rest of my life. That sucks.

I get sick at the beginning of winter and it peaks and falls throughout the season, but I never get over it because I work retail, and I'm almost constantly outside when I'm not working/sleeping. Though I get over it about a week or two into Spring, once the weather gets better.

I'm also allergic to grass, or rather something IN grass. I'm fine walking through it and stuff, but when I have to mow, I feel itchy all day, even after taking a shower. And all allergy medicine I take, even the ones that are specifically non-drowsy knock me out.

It's really fun when I have to mow before heading to work. I'm either itchy and miserable, or almost narcoleptic my entire shift.

Chronic pain (shoulder/wrist/elbow) that's been ongoing for about 15 years now, and in the early onset stages of what appears to be an auto-immune disease (suspected Sjogren's syndrome). Dry eyes and dry mouth and generalized fatigue.

Oh, and I need gum graft surgery due to thinning tissue/receding gums.

That about covers it.

Exploding Head Syndrome. Every now and again when I go to sleep, I hear a massive bang or electric sizzle in my head, sometimes with a flash, waking me entirely. Really, really annoying.

Other than that I have an ingrown toenail and some kind of weird knee thing called Osgood-Schlatter.

The occasional runny nose and feeling like crap for at least an hour once every few days.

On a side note, I get a relatively common but little known illness known as sickoflaggybullshit-itis after playing multiplayer for a few hours. Anyone who plays a lot of multiplayer games like Halo or CoD knows what I'm talking about.

I have a stuffy nose.

>_>

<_<

...

*sniff*

EDIT: Oh, right, I guess if it counts I should forget my perpetual neck cramp that I've had since I was sixteen (I'm 23) because of a misaligned vertebrae. That things a real pain in the... well... neck.

I just walked a kilometer in a small hurricane. Despite my hat, it froze my left ear numb and now my entire left side of the head pounds with pain. Writing this with a scarf tightly wrapped around my head. Owwie...

I have crippling social anxiety and probably cyclothymia.

That and my sinuses are always choked up. *shrug*

Holy shit! I had NO idea there was a name for that. Mine's always a sizzle.. it sounds like my brain is short circuiting, making kind of a "zot" sound, always with a flash. I've asked other people I know if it happens to them and they just give me a blank look. Heh. I'll be. Learn something new every day.

OT: Nicotine withdrawal headache and assorted mental health issues. Nothing to write home about.

I cannot describe to you my sickness, as it would make me seem a monster in your eyes, and probably give you nightmares...

But I had the flu a week ago, and that was not fun.

Not an illness per se, but I've got a deformed pelvic bone. I can walk normally, but limp when jogging, and my attempts to run are laughable at best.

Do mental illnesses count? I'm diagnosed with severe bipolar II, dysthymia, and borderline traits.

I also just got over the flu a few days ago, for the physical illness side of things.

My throat is sore, I've been coughing for days, the coughing has aggravated the contusions I have in my back so I couldn't even put my socks on this morning, and the stuff coming out of my nose is an indescribable color.

I have really hurt my back, I hurt it a couple of weeks ago, it got better to a point where there was no pain and then I went and hurt it again last week. Really annoying and I feel shit because I'm always having to take painkillers for it.

And I have a tooth thats going to need a filling when I go to the dentist next which I'm kinda not looking forward to as I think having a filling done was the thing that put me off dentists for 14 or so years.
