Who else has a rare genetic disorder? hands?

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Not much wrong with me. Seasonal allergies and a weakness to eczema are my only problems.

 

[Con Carne]

I'm kinda like a statue of liberty. I seem to be a beacon of light for the dumb and hopeless.
I attract drama, and I don't know why.

Spoiler

Worst I got is red colorblindness. For those who don't know, I can't distinguish between different colors of red.

Oh, and everyone in my family is prone to diabetes, but I don't have it.

But your avatar is orange and red?
I don't mean to be rude, I just find that interesting.

Actually, yeah. It all just kind of blends together on the top and bottom, and most of the surroundings of the yellow part. But it's a fairly unique icon that I've been using for years, so I'm not changing it.

Huh... That's very interesting. So, does it seem grey to you, or all one shade of red, or some other colour?

Unless you count Asberger Syndrome as a rare genetic disorder, I got nothing.

aside from maybe thumbs that can bend backward 45 degrees.

I was born without some of my wisdom teeth.

I don't have any. I'm not the only one...

I have some sort of furry substance upon the top of my head and between my ass cheeks, and it keeps growing...

I've been told I have Marfan Syndrome, but I don't believe it.

My girlfriend has marfan's, how tall are you?

5'11"

maybe 6'

unless you're really wiry with E.T. fingers, probably not. people with marfans are usually taller. do you have some serious joint pain?

Hmm, I am 125 pounds, and E.T. fingers wouldnt be a stretch of the truth, No joint pain tho.

congratulations! you just might have marfan's!
symptoms may include or progress to: joint pain, chest deformation, hyperextention or hyperformaiton of bones (if you're still growing), and my favourite, arterial wall deformation possibly leading to a sudden rupture and death!

don't you feel special?

hypothyroidism, a thyroid deficiency entirely derived from my fathers side. I'm not sure if it's rare but It doesn't affect my life too much

how do you think I feel? my girlfriend has a confirmed case. she's recently gone in for chest ultrasounds on her heart. not pretty. shes 20 and has trouble with her knees already. Why do I love the broken ones?

 

[Peteron]

I have a genetic case of scoliosis. Not much other than that.

 

[TheTim]

well i have asthma, and i burn pretty easily(cuz im super white), but not nearly like OP

 

[Darth_Dude]

I'm allergic to meat, don't know if that counts but its not very common I believe.

......Oh man....I feel so sorry for you...

EDIT: I have three thumbs, not in the traditional sense, but the two thumbs on one hand is shaped like a crab's claw. pretty cool when you think about it.

Is it insensitive if me to totally wanna see a picture of that?

A bit, and No.

THC sensitivity

!

This piqued my interest. How was it when you found out? Are you just sensitive or plain allergic? Does this mean that you can get high of really small amounts?

Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I don't login all that often. The condition is to do with an ultra-thin artery wall in the Basel portion of my brain. On a regular person there is some sort of biological secretion which lines the walls of the artery, and on me, the THC inhibits the release of that secretion. Since the artery wall is already weakened, extreme exertion or rapid blood pressure increase will supposedly cause it to rupture. The THC sensitivity is there simply because it heightens the likelihood of it happening by preventing the secretion.

I don't pretend to fully understand it, I just saw all the pretty pictures of my brain without THC and with THC and I got the message
