I have protien thingy (the word escapse me) in my eyes. Basicly you know lil squigly eye floater thing you see every now and then but can never look at. Well I have them all the time, it also caused my short sightedness.
I am ginger does that count...
I suppose that means I can't really go out in the sun without burning also.

So, you can see red, but it all looks the same shade? I was just asking because of your avatar...Kingshadow6 said:
OT: I don't have any genetic disorders.
I have the same thing, it runs in pretty much all of the males on my father's side -- I was the first, and am still the only, female to be born with it. It's not too bad, though...gives me awesome cleavage.Goremocker said:
Only other things I have are short-sightedness and what isn't really a disorder, I'm just double-jointed in my elbows. I can hold my arms out, palms down, straight from my body and fit them together from the elbow to the wrist. If I try to straighten my arms, they splay out to the sides, kinda gangly like...ah well, could be worse.
Hemophilia A 11%. This is a rather mild case, so no, I won't bleed to death if I nick myself shaving or anything like that. I only need protein replacement therapy when I have surgery or something along those lines.
I suffer from Aortal Diastasis Asphixiation type 3. A rare genetic condition that makes me unable to yawn.
Hereditary Angioedema.
Basically, parts of you swell up. Anything from your hands to your face.
You can also get it in your intestines, which is where I always get it because I'm just that lucky. I'll leave out the specifics, but basically it causes lots of cramps, lots of pain and then some vomiting to top it off.
Nice.
Only happens once every couple of months though, even less recently.
Probably jinxed it now. Oops.

MY family has a blood discrasia that starts as anemia when the girl is in her teens and by the time she is in her 40's she also develops thrombocytopenia>
I am also very sensitive. I wear super dark sunglasses that are at times not dark enough. I can't tolerate loud noises, some scents, and certain textures. Plus don't take me out in the sun unless you want be burnt to a crisp (damned redhead paleskin)

Chuvash Polycythemia, or Polycythemia Vera. I can't remember which, the two diseases are fairly similar. Either way, it's genetic. Basically, my body produces more blood than it should. (It constantly looks like I'm blood-doping, which I find hilarious.)
Edit: I feel I should add: Treatment is probably the simplest I've ever heard. I have to get blood drawn every now and again. (No more than once a year at the moment.) It's not terribly severe.

I don't have a genetic disease (that I know of) but I do have a hormonal imbalance (which explains so much)
