So Escapist, What Ails You?

[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.

Hmm, that sucks. You should see a physician now though, maybe you can relieve the stress on your ankles in some way, won't hurt to try.

If we're counting mental stuff, I have tourettes. The movement kind, not the kind that makes you shout stuff. It's not very noticeable to other people, but it's pretty friggin' annoying to me. Constantly tensing my muscles aches like a *****. And it makes me roll my eyes around in a weird way, which also aches after doing it a lot. Among a few other things. Ow.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Nothing. I am a perfectly heathy and ruggedly handsome human being. I mean, no offence to people with genuine afflictions, but these threads always turn into a hypochondriac convention. I could probably start a word-bingo for phrases like 'a bit of OCD'.

The internet might be a haven for porn-addicts but it's nightmare fuel for anyone who thinks they have anything in the slightest bit wrong with them.

Well you can probably start by eliminating anyone who calls it OCD since the actual term for the disease people think they have is OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). OCD is where you have intrusive thoughts that cause unease and worry, which are then allayed by the compulsions sufferers carry out.

Someone who just likes things a bit neat would have 'mild OCPD' not 'mild OCD.' Someone who cleans until the first two layers of skin are gone because if they don't then they might think about raping a cat has 'mild OCD.'

The difference is in what prompts the obsessive cleaning, the attention to cleanliness or an intrusive thought, and someone who genuinely suffers from one or the other will know this because it will have been explained to them when they were diagnosed.

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, commonly referred to as Suicide Disease, it's a bundle of fun.
I also have weird leg pains that doctors have no idea about and have told me they may never find out what causes them.

So I spend my days in some sort of excruciating pain most of the time.

 

[Saulkar]

I've been coughing for a few months.

That's literally it. No allergies, no conditions. My only abnormal condition is a cough.

I had that happen from early September last year to Early January. It was a respiratory virus that had absolutely no other symptoms outside of a violently powerful but painless cough.

Did it just go away after awhile? Mine's been going on for longer than that. And they're not particularly strong, just frequent. It's annoying.

I feel your painless pain! I took some kind of pills and they got rid of it for a month before it came back full strength and I just gave up and let it run its 5 month course.

 

[General Twinkletoes]

I've been stuck at home for 6 months with a chronic cough that means I can't go anywhere.
Fun times.

 

[BaronUberstein]

Hmm. Not much at the moment, parents are going through a divorce but that's about it. Then again, anyone who knew my family should have seen it coming years ago, heh.

College is fine, getting plenty of exercise. Friends seem to be doing okay as well.

 

[Redworld13]

[Starik20X6]

Right now I'm feeling the beginnings of a headache. No long-term medical issues I'm aware of. My skin is very unsuited to the climate I live in, but that hardly counts.

 

[guidance]

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.

I also have asthma that comes and goes but is mostly taken care of.

Hey I have Crohn's too, except mine is in a state of unknown. Medication worked for almost 2 years, now suddenly bam gut is on fire. So yea dealing with that sucks.

Edit: this has caused me to be underweight (110 lb at 19), but it's hard to tell because I'm pretty small looking already. On the plus side I don't have to work out to have abs.

 

[Trivun]

I still have bad spots despite being 22, so I'm on antibiotics for that. I had a skin tag removed from my back recently, basically just a lump of skin that grows on your body (tiny and harmless, but annoying as hell). Aaaaaannnddd... that's it.

Yeah, I'm pretty damn healthy, despite all the salt I have on my food. I guess my job keeps me fit (involves a lot of walking and some heavy lifting), and I cycled a lot at university, so yeah...

 

[The Human Torch]

Very light allergy to house-mites, and for some reason, whenever I wake up out of shock (I.E. a loud noise or whatever else can startle a man), my right eye starts hurting and cry.
I kid you not.

Been to several doctors, none of them have any idea. First they thought it was a food allergy, but they couldn't find anything in my bloodworks. Appearantly it's something psychological, but what kind of psychological condition causes only ONE eye to hurt and cry? I have no flipping idea.
