I'm the same way about the sun i get irritated if in it too long.
And hair colour speaking I am a chameleon. My hair is technically burgandy so in certain lights it is purple and the purple looks amazing too and natural.....I'm just a pale white girl
I had an inner ear infection really bad in my right ear one time and I couldn't hear out of it for two weeks. It got so bad that it hurt to move my mouth without pain meds and since I have a high tolerance for pain I was given the heavy stuff.
Also, I had zero balance the whole time. I remember someone padded me on the back for something and I went straight down, I was super dizzy and in pain. I would've punched him if the world had stopped being all wobbly for 2 seconds....

Spontaneous pneumothorax. My right lung tore away from the chest wall after a particularly bad bout of bronchitis. Anyway, I went to work after school and complained about the pain in my chest. The office manager suggested I talk to the doctor I worked for. He sent me to get a chest x-ray. Lo and behold, my right lung was about 30% of its normal size. I went home and got put on bed-rest for a week because the hospital beds were all full.
So yeah, nearly dying from a collapsed lung wasn't too cool.

I'm just gonna throw it out there... Genital warts... Or HPV as it's medically known... It sucks, and you never get completely rid of them again... Luckily, I've only had one attack so far, and they were quite small... Hope my immune system does the rest, so I at least won't get any visible warts anymore... Also reduces the risk of infection to others to near zero...

First off the big one is Scoliosis which got worse when I hit puberty. It hurts to stand up straight but I have to do it if not I end up a hunch back so I'm in constant pain.
Theeen when I was in puberty I had this thing called Osgood Schlatters disease. That's when you rip or rupture the tibial tuberosity. It usually means kids are hitting this massive growth spurt. It hurts like hell to even walk, I was confined to bed, when I had to go to the bathroom I had to drag myself there and it literally felt like they were tearing my leg apart at the knee when ever I moved it.
I grew an exceptional one inch that year. Fucking growth spurt.

When I was 6 during the 6 Week/Summer holidays I had diarrheoa for 2 weeks and all I could eat for those two weeks was soup and small portion of solid food and water. I lost a stone and a half (21 lbs) and was skinny as fuck and yeah it was pretty irritating.
Just recently, an out-of-the-fucking-blue pulmonary embolism. I almost belly-up and nobody can tell me where it came from. "We ran this test and you could have lupus but that never happens so we'll put you on bloodthinners and if nothing happens in the next year we'll just act as if this never happened. Now pay the bill and get out." Awesomesauce.
Combine that with phlebitis from the IV and you're golden. And by that I mean miss the endsemester exams.

I have a chronic case of bacterial meningitis that rears it's ugly head every few years. Got it from a severe head injury when I was younger, and now I gotta live with this crap. It makes the muscles in my neck lock up, give me a nice high fever with added hysteria, and a penchant to vomit every 15-20 minutes. Thankfully I've finally at the point I know it'll keep coming back, so when shit starts to hit the fan I know to get someone to rush me to the hospital to treat it.
I had a captcha the other day that had two Japanese Kanji characters printed on their side. Fucking captcha.Avatar Roku said:Off topic:
Wow. How am I supposed to do that?
Eczema, the constant itching and lizard like skin is a curse. Whats worse is that its now starting to spread to my face.
I haven't had too bad shit happen to me, but my top three:
Inner ear infection. On a holiday. With no pain meds or anything nearby. On top of that: I was like six years old. Good times...
Bladder infection. I'm not too good at sleeping to begin with, but the constant feeling of having to go to the bathroom, even after having been on it, is one of the most soul-crushing things I've ever had.
But my worst medical condition: severe lack of sleep. And yes, this technically isn't medical, I know. But I had a night-job with a constantly shifting schedule, so I did not sleep well for those weeks. I had to quit a week earlier than I was planning because I became a total wreck. Couldn't do a damn thing, started seeing things, completely overwhelming emotions... It wasn't fun.

Re: piercings - You can't scare me, I have a sister! Nah, she has a lot of piercings too, or rather, had. She only wears four or five earrings/studs at most these days. *shrug*and i'm the same way and my piercings just make me look scary
I'm the same way about the sun i get irritated if in it too long.
And hair colour speaking I am a chameleon. My hair is technically burgandy so in certain lights it is purple and the purple looks amazing too and natural.....I'm just a pale white girl

Gout. Three times. It's like someone trying to hammer a railroad spike through your big toe off and on for about a week.
Syncope -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncope_%28medicine%29
It's aggravating and there's no real cure for it. You just "deal".
