So Escapist, What Ails You?

[BoredAussieGamer]

I have asthma. It isn't severe and it rarely effects me, but I can't to anaerobic exercises (like jogging) without a little preperation.

It's also hay fever season here in the land of giant spiders that eat snakes and beer loving country leaders, but I'm not sure that counts.

I was messing around with liquid latex a few months ago and developed a small allergy to latex, giving me big weeping rashes and dry skin on occasion. Then that eventually went away, but introduced a long-lost childhood friend, atopic eczema.

Right now i have something pretty bad thats been evading treatment and diagnosis for about 3 months. Like a previous poster ill call it "lower inner pains". However sometimes, always at night, this kinda culminates in what has to be the worst pain ive ever experienced, its so much agony i cant move without it becoming unbearable. It makes me shake and the shaking makes it worse. Its like liquid fire is inside me. It fades until morning when it comes back again slightly more mildly. I then have about 3 weeks of freedom where the pain isnt that bad at all until those "attacks" come back. Ive been treated for bacterial infection twice and the doctor said it would go away by itself at the hospital. Since it hasnt im going in for an ultrasound scan to make sure all the tubing is normal. Id do anything to end this pain :C

Right now I'm having umm... 'lower inner pains' we'll call them. Not sure why, but if I sit still it usually doesn't bother me.

Sounds similar to what i have right now... read my post, sound familiar?

Nah, it hasn't been as painful as that, nor has it lasted that long.

Balls. Youre lucky then, i hope you get better soon and its nothing like what i have.

Dodgy knees due to a genetic disorder, can't recall the name or spell it anyway.
Bipolar, as has been discussed on this forum over and over.
A degree of paranoia, OCD and incredibad self esteem. Gross feelings of inadequacy stemming from 6 or 7 years of constant misery.
Inability to trust or forge friendships and a tendency to be very blunt and burn bridges very fast.
Occasional bouts of insomnia.

Also once a year I'll get ear infection, throat and chest infection or the new flu everyone is talking about and crush it beneath my willpower.

EDIT: I also have an incredibly short fuse that happens to be hard to light. I.e. I get very angry very fast but it's difficult to actually make me angry if that makes sense.

Hayfever,
Excema,
no cartilage in my left knee (old rugby injury that healed badly,
allergic to any painkillers that end -en

People have told me that I'm way too likable and sexually attractive.

Kidney stone? That would suck dude. Hope you can get that solved recurring pain is a bad thing.

I'll add to my previous post that I get bad chest pains sometimes but thats from working in a laundry. Fuckin' lint.

 

[Saviordd1]

Moderate OCD and anxiety problems, those I'm used to.

More recently however I fucked up my knee being stupid, I'm not sure of the official name of the condition but basically the muscle that keeps the kneecap in place is to weak now to do its job so I occasionally partially dislocate my kneecap, I can't run for long periods, and walking up and down stairs (a requirement in High School) causes annoying pains in my knee.

 

[irmasterlol]

Nothing really. I do think I have a pretty low immune system though due to me getting sick if someone so much as looks at me funny or maybe that's just because I don't eat healthy.

That's actually an overactive immune system. The symptoms of most colds are the effects of your body trying to flush out something that probably wouldn't hurt you anyway.

 

[Bazaalmon]

I have Crohn's Disease for which I need to get treatment every 8 weeks. No longer actually troubles me, as the medicine has been doing its job.

Me too, although I get treatment every 6 weeks. I've also got chest wall arthritis (or Costochondritis for you medical guys) because of that. It doesn't strike very often (maybe once or twice a month) but it gets pretty painful when it does.

 

[Angry Camel]

I get really bad hay fever during the right seasons. (Oh God, I just remembered it's Spring here...)
I'm also quite short-sighted. Not really surprising considering my habits, but most of my family is long-sighted.
I seem to get flaky skin rather easily, particularly on my face.
My lung capacity felt quite damaged after working in a concrete factory for a while (getting better though). Remember kids, dust masks don't help much when mould oil's in the air, invest in a proper gas mask (or demand your employer supplies you with one).

 

[Generalissimo]

i have Asperger's syndrome.

also, i have dysphasia. meaning it's physically painful for me to write. i usually use a keyboard, or have a scribe anyway. so no biggie.

 

[Shinsei-J]

They can't figure out most of what I've got but it's life crippling and sucks.
So I've been put under the category of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
Had these for four years now and by Christ it has ruled my life, spend most of the day in bed. (not as awesome as it sounds)
I'm also suspected to be getting type one diabetes in the next few years.
Other than the big ones I have:
Athma
Migraines
Hypermobility, I dislocate my joints alot.
Excema, bad.
Insomnia
Anxiety
Hyper sensitivity to light, sound and heat.
Constant blood noses.
My wounds heal slowly.
And a whole lot of others.
So many I can't keep track of them all.

i have dyslexia which is one reason why my spelling on the site is so bad, but i have a pretty good amunen system, mainly due to me getting really sick when i was younger, so i never really get sick.

 

[2733]

a bit of asthma and allergies, but I've got them beaten back almost completely. and at this time I am sporting a sling on my right arm from a labrum tear/capsule shift and subsequent surgery in the right shoulder.

 

[StormShaun]

Well I don't have a problem anymore but I had a small problem when I was a kid. I used to have this nosebleeds that came out of nowhere and they would last forever.

Actually I'm surprised that I didn't lose most of my blood from that...hell this day I thought I was a split image of an anime character when they get a bloody nose.

Yet that problem hasn't came back, so I am happy...

Also my elbow fractured a while ago but its nothing compared to some of you guys. ^_^

If you do squats slightly wrong, your ankles and legs will fuck up, hire someone who knows how to do squats the right way. Also, do some swimming, it's good training and is extremely easy on joints.

I don't think that's it though. I keep my knees parallel to my toes, make sure to hold a correct posture, and never bring my ass below my knees.

I've always had trouble with my ankles, long before ever doing my first squat. I would scream bloody murder at my mother when she tried to take me for a jog, and that was at age 9. Probably should have consulted a physician at some point, but I was a fat, fat kid. Back then I just assumed that my legs were hurting because of that, so I never made a big deal of it.
