Health problems huh? Where do I begin?

- obesitas
- diabetes
- high blood pressure
- high cholesterol
- heart problems (3 bypasses in 2004)
- neuromuscular disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (also hereditary)
- flat feet and weak ankles (part of the above mentioned disease)
- numbness and muscle weakness in legs below the knee and arms below the elbow (progressive)
- nearsighted (-8 in right eye, -5 in left)
- mild hearing loss (due to neuromuscular disease)

It all began when I reach the age of 40.

They say that that is when one's life begins... hmm... whose life did they have in mind???

Er... nystagmus and poor vision (mine's about half the strength of an average person's eyesight, meaning I'll never be able to drive), dyspraxia and severe flat and wide feet.

I get excema when I'm stressed, and I'm prone to things like anaemia and kidney infections for some reason.
But all in all, pretty good health.

No... I weigh 108kg (EEEEEEEEWWW) and I'm 171cm tall so that makes my current bmi 37 (EEEEEEEEWWW again), So if I weighed 116 kg (8 kg from how much I weigh now) my bmi would be 40, thus morbidly obese.

I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which gives me ovarian cysts and problems with my blood sugar, so I am hypoglycemic too.

I also have something weird called chronic Epstein-Barr. I had mono when I was 13 and got well, but the virus stays in your body for life. In most people it stays dormant, but in some people, like me, it can keep reactivating. I've had full-blown mono 3 times and it takes me longer than usual to get over colds and flu, because my immune system has extra work to do with keeping the mono down.

I don't have any real health problems that I know of. Just a few small annoyances, like my gums are receding on my upper left molars, some eczema on my arms, restless legs syndrome, that kind of thing.

Not really, despite my weight(195-205lb/90kg) I'm quite healthy, though I'm not physically fit. I'm just slow and run out of breath alot. Apart from AS and Dyspraxia, I have no other conditions, other than acne and some of my leg/wrist joints are strained.
