I have a cognitive disorder where I cannot breathe if my ears detect orchestrated sound.

- depression
- anxiety
- back/hip/neck pains from a car accident i was in when i was pregnant
- a buttttttt load of cavities from doing meth when i was younger, a couple big holes in my teeth

Do you mean you CURRENTLY have costochondritis/pleurisy? I've had them both several times (also Tietze's Disease which is basically just a form of costocondritis), but those aren't constants.

I felt this pain in my chest & I went to the ER where I was diagnosed with pleurisy and my doctor prescribed me with Naproxen (that didn't help the pain what so ever). A few months later, the pain became so bad that I went back into the ER (about a year ago), where I was then diagnosed with costochondritis. 2 ER visits, and many visits to the doctor's office & all I have been told is that it's severe inflamation in my cartlidge between my sternum & my ribs. I've taken anti inflamatory meds (random steroids, Naproxen, IB Profen, ect..) & nothing seems to take the pain away. Every test that I have had done (blood, urine, several EKGs, several Xrays, & most recent: a CT scan) have all come back clean (aside from what was stated as "minor costal -chondral inflamation"). The pain has been consistant... sometimes it makes it difficult to sleep & sometimes when I smoke, it makes it difficult to breathe normally (therefore I try not to smoke if I can help it). The pain is in 2 spots specifically, some days, I am in a lot more pain than others. As soon as I pay off my hospital bills that I have racked up in the last year due to my chest pains, I am going to get a 2nd opinion, in hopes that perhaps I will find answers, and of all things, a REAL EFFECTIVE SOLUTION! :-/ :-P

i had pleurisy for a while. it started out as just a cold, but i played soccer and it was march, so in michigan that still means freezing temperatures and snow. the doctor thought i was faking it, because they said that usually people with pleurisy can barely stand and have so much chest pain, but i was still playing soccer in the 40's and 50's degree temperature with just a sweater and shorts on. but they gave me this medicine that worked after a while, but i think it was naproxen.

webbed toes
terrible posture
dodgy knees (diagnosed with water on the knee at 11, but now they just crunch alot :S)
over weight
allergy to septrin... which they don't use anymore apparently yet they still labelled me up for it when i went into hospital to give birth.

otherwise i'm good.

Hmm wondering if I have restless leg syndrome. Usually happens at night when Im lying in bed, my leg just twitches. Partner always notices it happening when Im asleep too.
Im doing it right now aswell, kinda just feels better to keep moving my leg.

I've noticed the RLS keeps me awake at night. For me it's usually this horribly overwhelming urge to move my legs. It's been so consuming some nights I just lay there and cry. And move. A lot. lol

If you had restless leg syndrome, you'd know it! It's horrible. You can't sleep with it most of the time. It's this horrible urge that you MUST move your legs. You can't NOT move them! Although mine makes my legs feel better to constantly be tapping or swinging side to side during the day too!

Well its not that bad that I can't sleep. When I feel it and try not to move my leg, it gets really uncomfortable and I have to move it. Feels almost like a tickle inside my leg.

Oh, I'm not saying that you DON'T have it! Just like anything else, I'm sure there are varying degrees of it and I'd wish it upon no one! It's awful.

PCOS
I had fibroids and a thickened lining of my womb, underwent surgery for that last year... don't know if they will come back or not
Keloid scarring... have had it with every scar from every operation. Sucks more than people realise!
Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome... had surgery on both hands last year, and it has done wonders, however I still have problems... they'll never be right.
Wear glasses for reading/computer/up-close
Overweight. Some people may say this is not a problem, but my weight does cause problems. I dare say if I lost a bit of weight I'd have less back/shoulder/leg pain
I have an extra bone in my right foot that over the years has been rubbing down the tendon. They could operate but the risk of further damage to the tendon is too high for me to agree to it.
Incredibly high arches in my feet which cause my feet/ankles to roll in... which has made my ankles really weak so I strain/sprain/break them easily. Particularly my right foot coz of that stupid bone.
Clicky jaw
I get blood noses a lot
And not a problem (unless playing golf lol) but I have a really weird elbow.. .it twists kinda the wrong way when it is straight. Hard to explain... but yeah, can't play golf effectively lol, coz it bends the wrong way!

Wow, how did you get bilateral CTS? That's unusual!

It's not as unusual as it seems... a lot of the issues with CTS reach right up to the neck and shoulders... guess its all connected in the end. Either way it's more common than one would think.. you should see my workplace :P It's an increasing issue with more and more jobs and lifestyles being related to the computer and of course not having the proper ergonomic set up to prevent such conditions. I wish I had it in just one hand, but I had it in both :( Both sides have been operated on. It's also on the increase in young people because we are starting on computers so young! I know that the first computer I had, was when I was 2, and I used it right from around that age (even if back then it was very simple kiddy games!)... that is 21 years of computer use. Which is about the same as say someone who gets the same condition in their 40's.

I keep thinking I have carpal tunnel in my right hand, but I'm too scared to get it tested. Not scared of the surgery itself, but my insurance requires these painful shots to be tried at least three times before surgery is permitted. Plus the actual carpal tunnel electrical signal test! Eeeeep.

Well, I guess not just hand.. in my hand/wrist/forearm, lol.

Ooh I'm prone to keloids. They're very rare in white people apparently. Haven't ever had an operation though *touch wood*, just have ones from where 2 moles were removed and where I let a piercing heal over.

-i used to get ear infections all the time as a kid, and now have constant ear fluid. sometimes it makes everything squishy sounding and echo, othertimes my ear is just plain clogged and i can hear myself breathe, or it's super clogged and i can't hear a dang thing. my ears clog up anytime i have something as simple as a cold. i feel like slapping people out of frustration with BOTH of my ears clog up.

-depression/anxiety/anger problems

-pretty sure i have some form of dyslexia. sometimes numbers flip around on me (ie: 305 instead of 503, or 917 instead of 971) or letters in words change. or sometimes my eyes will literally twitch and it freaks me out when the word i'm trying to read jiggles. or my favorite.. i'm reading a book and a word from somewhere else on the page somehow pops into the line i'm reading and i have to start the sentence over.

-my back has been... "out of whack"... since i wasss... 14? 15? and i'm not sure which came first; big boobs or when i moved a really massive couch across a room... by myself. i have to pop my lower back almost every day... several times a day. and now twice i've had the muscles spazz up so bad that i can't move for a week. i can stand ALL the way up... or bend at the waist... but the going in between would nearly kill me. the first time it happened it brought me to tears just trying to roll over in bed. using the bathroom was a very interesting painful challenge. the whole issue is NOT helped by the fact that i cannot sleep in any position except on my stomach, and the boobs make sitting up straight hard so i slouch too much.

-i have a leaky bladder. i don't pee myself or anything i just have to wear pads like all the time? it's not cute.

-randomly at the end of my teens.... my period stopped. it went about 6 months where i didn't have it... then i had it for about 4 days and then went a few months without it. over the years i had anoher 5 or 6 month stint without it, but otherwise the not having it only lasted a couple months. now i tend to have it about every other month and for only 4 days. sometimes it'll skip two months. or sometimes i actually get it two months in a row like normal people, but it's very very light and may count as only lasting 3 days but i still say 4 anyway. i haven't had this checked out but i know i realllly should lol.

-3 of 4 wisdom teeth hurt every now and again as they grow in. i'm pretty sure my mouth has the room for them so hopefully i wont need to have any pulled.

-TMJ. so not happy about this.

-when i was born, the tendons and ligaments in my legs were too long... but as i grew up, they eventually stopped growning. meaning i can't straighten my legs 100% and if i try, there is a painful pulling feeling in the back of my knee area. i'm supposed to do stretches (lifting up at the toes and lowering my heels... like standing backwards on a step and letting my heels drop) to stretch out the tendons and such but i really don't do it very often.

-when i started learning to walk, my feet would roll inward onto my ankles. i had to have special inserts made for my shoes. this hard plastic stuff which my mom still has as a keepsake lol. i'm not sure if this problem as a baby is why i can't walk in straight lines. and i don't know if it has anything to do with my ankles being crooked. if my feet are flat on the floor, my ankles are slightly crooked. if i make my legs/ankles straight, my feet are... like... bunching? up against the outside ankle bone.

-i have bad knees. i don't know what's wrong with them other than when i was little it was suggested that by 16 years old i would probably need some kind of surgery done on them. never had any surgery. but every once in a while, my knee will give as i walk and i sorta wobble. it just buckles under me. i can control it better now, so that i don't fall. most people don't even notice it happens it's such a small thing that happens in my knee. but in elementary gym glass i'd randomly just fall in the middle of running around cause one of my knees would give out.

-i'm not lactose inolerant... but diary used to upset my stomach -it gave me the poopsies-... it doesn't really anymore unless i have too much in one day to go along with too much other junk foods that i shouldn't be having.

-i'm allergic to smell. i don't know any other way to put it, but this is what almost everybody knows about me because i constantly complain about "that smell gives me a headache" candles, soaps, perfume, food cooking, any kind of smoke -wood, cigs, bbq-, NATURE... everything. EVERRRYYYTTHIIINNGGG. no need to ask me if something gives me a headache, just assume it does lol. i almost always have a sinus headache. and if i don't, it's a miracle... until some smell comes from somewhere and BOOM it's like instant pain in my sinuses. the problem is that i love candles and smell-good soaps and shower gels. i love cinnamon scented candles and cucumber-melon soaps and raspberry soaps and... even though i love it, i get headaches. cucumber-melon doesn't give me a headache as quickly as other smells do, so i have lots of cucumber-melon stuff lol.

-every joint i can think of pops. mostly fingers, toes, elbows, knees, ankles... but i snap in random places at random times.

-i have an astigmatism in i believe both eyes.

-my left eye is a mild lazy eye. i'm pretty sure it was the result of getting a long board falling on my eyebrow when i was little. it's not really noticable. only to myself in some old pictures of me can i even tell it's lazy. i can FEEL it though which is weird. and my left eye perscription for my glasses is strongr than the right.

-i got glasses to read the black board when i was 6 or 7 years old. so is that near or far sighted? lol. they're also used to help me read books and whatnot. my last eye exam i was told to start wearing my glasses all the time, but i notice the more i wear them, the more it's hard for me to focus without them. i can see fine.. but i have really super strong perscriptions... that's the part i don't understand lol. *shrug* sometimes when my eyes get tired or if i'm reading, i'll wear them. but a lot of times i just don't wear them. like now lol.

this is all i can think of... lol... but i know there's more.

oh and i'm fat.

Irregular periods is one of the first symptoms of PCOS. You should get it checked out, it's way more common than people think. They reckon 1 in 10 women have it.

yeah i've already been wondering if i have it. and muh bff thinks i have it, too. i should get it checked out, i just haven't lol

Oh and you're short/near sighted. Like me! ;)

I have that problem, with numbers switching on. It's really bad when I'm the register at work.

YOU SHOULD GET IRLEN LENSES FOR THAT DYSLEXIA THINGY, WHERE THE WORDS JIGGLE AROUND. OR EVEN JUST TINTED OVERLAYS - THEY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

it doesn't happen very often... so i'm not really worried about it
