Yes, I was lucky enough to be born right around when the synthetic stuff was being introduced (so no risk of contaminated blood, as many older haemophiliacs have unfortunately been exposed to) and the head of the centre I went to was a huge supporter of prophylactic (regular) treatment being used as early as possible for children, as opposed to a stage of on-demand treatment.similar.squirrel said:
As for the blood isolatey whatsit... Well I don't keep as up to date as I probably should on all the technical stuff.
Bad Eyesight. Nearsighted. Anything within arms length I can see fine. Outside of that... not so much. Without my glasses, all I can make out of someone standing across the room is basic shape and color (Fat person wearing a pink dress vs skinny person wearing a maroon sweater and blue jeans) no facial features at all.
A strange digestive quirk that means that for about 1hour after waking up eating or drinking anything causes any of a number of gastrointestinal anomalies (upset stomach, diarrhea, bloating, cramps, constipation). I can safely drink water. And I've had some luck with citrus products (juices and fruits). Further I know that drinking milk during that period WILL cause problems (I'm not lactose intolerant, I can drink milk just fine after that period of time). I suspect that as I sleep the acidity levels in my stomach drop to very low levels and introducing anything basic causes the problems.
Also extremely high metabolism can be somewhat annoying at times (after pulling an all-nighter I have to eat pretty much constantly)

Bad eyesight,nearsighted.I see blurry a few meters away without my glasses.
I'm "fluffy" so to speak,due to staying in the house so much and not walking very often,except toilet.(Don't know if being fat/obese can count as a handicap).

I must admit for I can hide it no longer: I am too good a lover. Seriously though, probably the fact that I can never let anything embarassing I've done go. Like I'll randomly remember me saying something completely stupid when I was 5 and I'll actually cringe just thinking about it.
I have dyslexia, some of it is cured, but i will never in my life be able to spell " R ".
So, nothing epicly bad, people do still understand me.

I have extremely poor vision. One eye is pretty much blind, the other just can't see very far or anything. But other than vision related stuff, I'm pretty much okay.
I have sweet urine and other thymus related autoimmune issues. Thankfully I'm doing a phd in fixing one of them so here's hoping to the future 
-My hearing and smelling are a little bad.
-My eyesight is horrible without glasses.
-I'm physically weak.
-I run very slowly, and get tired after less than a minute.
-I'm pretty thin.

I need glasses to see, but I'm alright without them. I have a mental disorder and my thyroid is screwed so if I'm without my medication then my ability to behave normally just goes out the window. I'm not that good with hearing either, probably because I'm constantly listening to music. And I have no upper body strength at all. Not much of a handicap, since I'm otherwise pretty fit and I'm working on increasing the number of press-ups I can do in a minute. Which so far is 10. That's the only reason why I'd list it as a handicap. I can't even pull myself over a fence.
I was tragically born without hands, and have to type with my feet.
Not really, but I hardly have a sense of smell.
