Your Medical Problems

[Monkfish Acc.]

I have ME/CFS, but that's about it.
Every ailment I suffer from really stems from that.

Aside from the random severe bouts of insomnia, that is. I'm not quite sure where the fuck that comes from.

Same as you, varies wildly (now onto a quite a severe phase) main issues memory loss(long and short), no concentration and headaches/migranes(family trait) that cause my eyeballs and head to explode alternatively.

That plus all the stuff which stems from it.

Apparently a cure could be on the way though - me/cfs has been shown to react positively by using a retroactive component in a treatment for aids. I think.

Yeah, I'd heard about that.
They discovered an underlying virus in people with ME. Xenotropic Murine Leukimia Virus (I think).
It's a mutated mouse virus. They also found it in kids with Autism and people with Multiple Sclerosis, plus a scary number of healthy people, in which it lies dormant.

Now, what I think I heard was that they noticed there was an effect with the retroactive component of some AIDS medication, and they're working off that to develop a cure of sorts. I don't think it will cure the ME itself, but hopefully it kills the virus.
And even if it doesn't, at least we now effectively have a test for people showing signs of ME. And seeing as it took me three years and a buttload of stress to get a goddamned diagnosis, this, to me, is pretty fucking fantastic.

Another thing. They unfroze some blood they took from a dude over twenty years ago, and it was still there, alive and kicking.
That's kind of a scary thought, huh.

I've got asthma, joint problems (though this hasn't been formally diagnosed) and OCD about certain things.
That's it.

The only unusual thing about me is a derangement of the capillaries in my tongue, which means that whenever I eat something, the blood vessels get damaged, due to them being too close to the surface. This always results in me ingesting a bit of my own blood every time I eat.

One wearies of it after a while.

OT: Haven't got any (that I'm aware of). Having said that, I'll most likely go bald (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) because every single man in my family (bar one I think) is bald to.

It's a much bigger concern than you might think, and makes me exceptionally paranoid about my hair sometimes, despite the fact it doesn't look any thinner or whatever then any other guys my age (15).

This is a massive concern for me too! Every man on both sides is bald or balding ;_; Except my great grandfather on my mother's side! I live in hope that I inherited his hair genes.

It's my Mum's Dad for me, other than that...

 

[dex-dex]

i also have an irregular heart beat and bad eye sight YAY!

I'm pretty sure ADD is real. I focus infinitely better when taking the medication.

I can't top your list but i was just diagnosed with diabetes type one at age 28. I can relate to changing the way you look at food and it sucks. I got the diagnosis two months ago.
