For me, nearsightedness/myopia/flat eyeballs (my vision was 20/400 the last time an optometrist mentioned it). Nothing else now, really.

:twisted:
Ana, my eyes are almost JUST like that, but when they first aknowledged it they listed me a cool 8) 10/600

Only cool because I could see really really good as a cyclops-with constant other eye distortion.

Now they ask me to *guess* at the face of the 'E' so I'm a 20/60; 20/100; or 20/200 depending on which non listening person I am forced to deal with that day, my savy with 'guessing' a 50/50 spread, and my resolve to argue for reason. Maybe if they list me as what I can *actually* see or not see they think it will be worse for me: Ie doing me a favor. They're doing someone a favor-but not me. So I'm legally blind--by half truly; but only dim sighted by half fakely.

You're young to have COPD!

I work in Pulmonary Rehabilitation so all my patients have COPD.

Have you attended Pulmonary Rehabilitation?

Scoliosis
Chifosis
2 Bulging Discs
1 Pinched Nerve
Reconstructed ACL
Ulceritic Colitis
Hiatal Hernia
Advanced Arthritis of T-Spine
Second Urethra (found that one out the hard way in surgery)
Gill-Like Structures in Ears (as described by ENT) - cause pressure problems when flying, resulting in extreme pain
Extraneous Bone Growth Between Tibia and Fibula where ACL was Reconstructed, Fusing them Together

Add in my sensory issues associated with AS, and every day pretty much sucks physically.

I have had full-blown epilepsy since I was 11. This is a result of the scarring on my brain which occurred after a suction operation I had when I was 7 weeks old (I was born with hydrocephalus - water on the brain - so my skull is just a little larger and slightly more fragile than your average skull). Fortunately it's largely controlled by medication, so my life is fairly unimpaired aside from the fact that I can't drive.

I'm asthmatic and allergic to long-haired cats (I used to be allergic to eggs as well, but I grew out of that).

I have hayfever, but that seems to be easing off as time goes by, thankfully.

My right knee aches in the cold and gets very sore when I sit down for too long.

I also walk with almost a slight limp as my gait is quite uneven (when I've walked for too long I usually get pain in one hip and one ankle, rather than in both).

I wouldn't mind all this if it had been at least counterbalanced by my siblings having something to go with it, but all they've ever had to deal with is slightly dodgy teeth (which is the only area in which I have an advantage: I have no wisdom teeth - not even the buds are there, so that's a bonus, I suppose). Apparently I was destined to be "the sick one" in my litter :(

I forgot to mention hypersensitive hearing - this causes quite a few troubles in dealing with things such as shopping and being in crowded places.
