Well, im dyslexic so i had a fair few scans of the head to make sure it was not really bad. Plus tests on other mental things.
There was a 'Man Cancer' (as i like to call it) scare. Wasn't the best part of my life.
I'm also one of them people who always think there ill one way. but with me its more of, if i get a pain in my appendix area, i must have appendicitises.
Which is annoying. I've been into hospital for cuts on the hands and arm plus burns from work. seeing as im a chef im around hot stuff and knifes.

WEE!

I have a dead left frontal meningioma that's now a huge calcium deposit. What's that? It's a tumor on the membrane of my brain! But it's dead. A moment of silence for Mortimor.

That's my favorite story since it slammed Chapter 4 to a halt in 2004, first time around. They afterwards diagnosed me with epilepsy.

But to list it out I have *deep breath*

Epilepsy
Fibromyalgia + Scoliosis
Tremors (yay shakey lines!)
Arthritis
Migraines
Mania/Insomnia from time to time sadly not too often
Lactose Intolerance (this was the worst)
Periphrial Neuropathy (I walk and can't feel my feet - it's retarded)
and
Syncope (which is diagnosed regularly occurring fainting spells due to my FANTASTIC circulation!)

Darwin liked me. XD

But what I lack in physical strength I make up for with enthusiasm and willingness to experiment. ;) (wait, wrong conversation?)

Let's hear it for another lactose intolerant! :) Woohoo!

I have dairy-free recipes I can share with you, if you'd like. I love to cook! And likewise, if you have any, would you mind PQ'ing me with them? Thanks!

I think your tumor story beats my large intestine story. Those are some significant aftershocks and I sympathize.

I've got my own additional health woes besides what I've already said but I'm trying not to depress people (I can tell that you're not either, btw. :) ). I'm not good at sharing my pain except through art.

Wow, Juno, you'd never know your health issues with how great and regular Star Crossed Destiny is. You have my respect.

I have one kidney due to surgury done by a Iraqi sniper.

This causes me to every once and a while to bloat up with water if I don't take my meds. And I can't really eat salt anymore, along with a lot of booze.

Don't let my site fool you. It's taken me over a year to get back in a groove where I can have my good days and my bad days and keep my comic on the schedule the way it is. I'm hiding about 1.5 chapters worth of buffer behind my back just in case because it took me three years to learn that sadly, in my case, I do seriously need that just in case crap. If not for health, then for some other life drama. But I'd like to think that since all these diagnosis incidents came up, I've made improvements.

And I can't really eat salt anymore, along with a lot of booze.

I totally feel for you. A lot of the meds I've been on are like that. I couldn't have salt with one. Now I can't have any alcohol. Luckily the salt one went away. But this last pill I don't get to get rid of for my epilepsy as it's my 'last resort.' They laugh about it online as the pill that gets you drunk on water. Tis the suck.

Wow dueeast, that's pretty intense o.o

Yes, it's intense but it saved my life, too. My grandfather died of colon cancer when he was 26 (back in 1943) and my dad got colon cancer in 1985, went into remission for 10 years and passed away from the recurrence in 1997. And I had no complications after those operations for 20 years. Strangely enough, when I became lactose intolerant in my early 30s, a lot of other things went haywire around the same time.

The body is a mysterious thing. :spin:

I have a cyst in my wrist (basically a little bubble) that hurts really bad once in awhile, and get nauseous when under a lot of stress- like boarding school.

I think most of my problems come from the fact that I'm not good at eating well or exercising. ^^; Not bad compared to everyone else. ^^;

Cysts are absolutely terrible and that's a terrible place to have one! Wouldn't they want to surgically remove that? I heard the micro-surgery options aren't that bad.

God, I hate cysts. *mumbles some more about cysts*

I'm not going to tell you people my fucking weaknesses, because they're none.
no no, your weakness is your comic. For being without it is akin to superman ingesting kryptonite! :)


Me? I have tinnitus. That's about it.

I have tough skin, but when I bleed, I bleed. Also, I can get a scar from the tinest scratch, and always, always, I have at least 20 cuts on my body at any given time. Also, my knees are covered in scars, but strangly, I don't have bad knees. I have a bad back. Doing what I do causes a lot of strain on my body, and by now, I don't react to pain. I can't even feel it anymore. My face itself has lots of tiny scars on it, thus why I'm never posting pictures of myself. I never get sick though, because when I was a kid, I got sick a lot, now my body can fight of dieseases better, and I hardly get sick. One good thing is that my body adapts quickly, and no matter what happens, like getting very sick, getting a big cut, I can still continue to do what I do. At this very moment, I have a few cuts on my face, and arms, and my legs look like hell. But what's bad is, I don't feel it. I was told that pain is a good thing, because it tells you when it's too bad. When I go to the docters, I swear they roll their eyes everytime I walk in.

Just TWO things:

1) Asthma - But as a child, the doctor said to remain active and play sports - condition your body and breathing that way! I did and do and I'm happy to say that this is ONE condition that doesn't define me! Thank God for soccer, football and Bally's Total Fitness!

2) Keratoconus - Over time, your corneas form a "cone" shape and eventually "erupt" leading to blindness. A cure for it is a cornea transplant (I don't need it yet - waiting for some good soul to donate their body to science after they die) - so for now, I wear the most necessary evil on this planet - hard plastic contacts! Here's a great link for it on WIKI…Mandy Patinkin ("My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father…") is the only famous guy I know that had this condition.

Yaye, my turn!
Now, I don't think I can top any of the really bad things mentioned, but here's a list anyway:

-Diabetic (type 1) since I was two. That one always won any who-has-it-worst arguments at school. And I'm proud of it. May as well be when you've been told you'll never get rid of it. Hah, take that kids who think you have it bad with your minor discomforts!

-Some skin disease that only has a latin name and really only looks ugly. I forget it's there half the time untill somebody says "My God, what happened to your leg?!".

-A few permanent teeth never grew in (there's a fancy name for that, but if I'm not going to remember the skin-thing, then I'm not remembering the teeth thing).


And at the moment that's it. I think. I'm sure something else will show up eventually, but who cares. My body woooorks. Now, if only I could donate blood… Oh well.

Well just about everyone have problems.

I have:
-Migraines
-Vertigos (possibly Meniere's Syndrome, though it could be number of other things)
-Allergies
-Long QT Arrhythmia
-Mild Ulcer
-Tinnitus

I take beta blockers for the arrythmia and it slows my circulations down so I get cold hands and feets very easily, also it has few other side effects such as isomania. However I've been doing okay lately.

Umm… I just found out that I'm pregant few days ago? :)

I have problems with my stomach. Maybe ulcers, I'm not sure. I have to be sedated next month so they can take a good look. I also have a bad back. I hurt it skateboarding a few years ago, sparing you a medical explaination, my lower back is messed up and basically it affects my hips. Most of the time I'm fine, but sometimes I can't walk well, and I have a bad limp. I can't take any painkillers because of my stomach, though. It sucks. I'm looking to buy a cane sometime soon, but it has to be a cool one. Not a pimp cane, either. Maybe something that looks like it comes from Sherlock Holmes.

I have really bad knees, so when I have sex too vigorously my knees hurt really bad the next day. Also, I have to be careful who I have sex with, because I'm allergic to most antibiotics, and also to babies. I'm also allergic to seafood, but that doesn't affect my sex life, much.

Now that's some TMI comin' atcha!

Well, Migraines… Obviously.
Bad sinuses make my cheeks feel like someone's punched me in the face when they're infected.
aaaand, cold knees!

Nothing else really, just that my knees get really freaking COLD!

Ozone is the Australian me. Apart from the knee thing, what the hell.

I grew up with migraines, though I have them very rarely these days. I did however have one this month, a migraine plus a 2 hour commute is not a pretty thing. The sinuses appear to be a family thing and indeed are a bitch when they get infected, also when the air is really dry.

Other than that I'm a healthy guy, do 100 situps every morning and walk the 30 minutes between the train station and my office too.

Seriously, cold knees? Circulation maybe, are your feet cold too?

There's nothing too bad wrong with me…I guess just two things.

1. Really bad eye sight. I've had glasses since I was 4. I can't see anything without them.
2. Lactose intollerant. If I eat a bowl of cereal without soy milk I'll get sick all over the place D:
