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.

Dyspraxia, hay fever, mild eczema and a blister on my middle finger caused by not letting the callus build up properly while playing guitar.

I have a zit on the inside of my mouth. It might be a blister. Point is, I can't eat or talk without being in pain.

Acrocyanosis! A spiffy little genetic disorder that makes my hands almost permanently a reddish color and when it gets cold they turn completely blue with pink, red and orange patches all over them. It is probably the coolest genetic disorder I've ever heard of as there really aren't any ill effects.

Although currently I have been having quite a bit of pain in my back from jumping on a trampoline and probably to some extent how often I've been climbing recently. It's not constant, but it's annoying as it hurts to even walk up stairs.

Psoriatic arthritis since I was 17. I guess I kind of lucked out getting a non-degenerative form of arthritis but still.

My ankles are quite shit.

My right ankle is the worst since I hurt it in 7th grade and it never healed properly so I have to wear an ankle brace every time I do any sort of exercise. Plus it will give out on me when I'm standing, so that's fun.

So because of that I have tendonitis in my left ankle and it hurts like a ***** some days.

Other than that I'm fine.

My body is so use to eating crap I can't eat healthy foods without getting ill, it makes me think there is something wrong with me. Though oddly enough if I avoid the stuff I'm perfectly healthy so it makes me wonder if I should try to change anything.

*reads, thread title, leans back to get comfy*
Hun can you sit down a while this is gonna be a long ass night.
Carpel tunnel of the feet
Prone to horrible skin infections that have left me in pain to the point I can barely walk
High blood pressure
anxiety/depression
Hormonal disorders
Thyroid abnormalities
Borderline diabetic
Severe weather allergies
Sinus soreness that has gone undiagnosed but has forced me to stay in bed plenty of times when I wake up
Managing to deal with habitual tendencies(a nicer way of saying I had a form of OCD...that has gotten better for some reason)
After a dislocation in my knee occasionally the bones will...shift because they did not heal exactly as they should, but they...shift back


<.< I am dying is what I am basically saying.

Sure. Scoliosis, a time-bomb of a heart and a fucked right foot (that's the professional opinion on the foot). Guess I could be worse off.
Edit: Also a fucked left leg. Hurt my knee real bad about 10 years ago, hurts like a ***** from time to time for no apparent reason.
A fellow scoliosis sufferer! :p

That's the main thing, I have a rather severe congenital scoliosis. I continue to confuse my doctor by being asymptomatic despite my spine being a massive S shape. There's no way of knowing whether I'll develop symptoms in the future, the operation can only be done while I'm young and it would require the fusion of my spine leaving me with limited movement. And it would carry a substantial risk of paralysis. So... here's hoping I continue to laugh at conventional medical wisdom by refusing to feel severe mechanical pain, and the worst I'll have to worry about is the fact that my midsection looks like a Picasso.

I'm pretty much now rid of the eczema I've had all my life, so that's nice.

Well the occacional bout of anxiety and depression.
Also I mumble/moan in my sleep pretty loudly--it's kind of embarassing

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis in my knees, feet, three fingers, and my right elbow. I was born with the Rheumatoid Arthritis but developed the Osteoarthritis about a year ago. I was also born with a lazy left eye. I also have allergies.

Hay fever (mild), back acne (currently being exterminated with accutane), Tourette's Syndrome (faded through my teenage years, ticcing is at a minimum), legally blind (glasses, upcoming laser-eye), and athsma (nope, that's still a problem).

Not too bad, all things considered.

Oh boy, there are a lot of fucked up Escapists. I guess I'll add my ailments to the list.

Bulging disks in my lower spine
Compression in my upper spine
Hips that won't stay level
Severe head trauma causes occasional twitching and shaking
Little to no feeling in my left side (spinal injuries are awesome!)
Five calcium deposits in my head (basically, my head has been hit so hard that there is a permanent bump where there was impact - on five separate occasions)
My nose has been broken multiple times
I have chips missing from most of the bones in my face
Severe food allergies to dairy, beef, pork, and tomatoes

And yep, that's pretty much it.

Edit Though I am proud to say that I hit a milestone. Due to a severe back injury two years ago, I had trouble walking. Yesterday I ran five miles.

I get breakouts of hives sometimes. It's really gross and I haven't quite narrowed down what causes them though it seems to be either stress/sweat/exercise. Occasionally its gets bad enough that I'll feel dizzy.

Also I get oral ulcers. They happen if something strenuous happens inside my mouth, like say, if I bite the inside of my cheek while eating.
