My sister has this, you need to ask for a referral to a physio expert in treating this sort of thing. Its done wonders for my sister. Fibromyalgia is usually caused by some sort of trauma that you have been through and this is the body's way of coping.

Nothing interesting i'm afraid. A severe nut allergy and a very snotty nose in the summer?

My mother and I are pretty much on Team A in our house, it's my sister and father who get all the good ones. Hodgkins Lymphoma, chronic fatigue, irregular heart beats and palpatations, panic attacks. Aside from some aspects of my father's life, who needs to slow the hell down, it doesn't affect them too much. They just have to take it easy :)

Colour blindness, photo sensitive eyes (if I go out in the sun without sunglasses I get migraines and eyes go red and puffy) hayfever, depression, insomnia, lots of random clicky bones and more.
 
A large penis....so large infact that when i get 'excited' all the blood that goes to the area makes me pass out
 
I have mild asthma & hayfever & mild exzema. Common colds bother me more than these do, I consider myself very lucky after reading some of the unpleasant conditions some of you guys/girls have to deal with. :(

I've had no trauma in my whole life. My mother and sister also suffer from this along with other things, but my doctor dont see connection. I had bells pulsy (whole ringht side of face was paralized) when i was 17, doctor told me that some one must have punched my face to kill my nerves, but no. It occured out of the blue.

I would still ask for a referral, like I said its really helped my sister (she had something horrible happen to her) so there are people out there that can help with your symptoms. :)
 
heart disease, 3 stents, never felt right since 1st started last October, cannot take half the tablets due to reactions, presently have walking difficulties which makes me walk like i'm drunk and constant pins and needles 24/7 al the way up to my waist with hyper sensitivity also. Also very tired except cannot sleep have have to take sleeping pills. Spend 16hrs in bed a day otherwise at present cannot cope. On depression tablets and have pain on my left side which hospital has scanned and said they cannot find anything. Have another hospital appoint about my legs beginning of September. Am worried it linked to heart. I take each day as it comes atm and see the doctor every two weeks.
 
I have low blood pressure (high bp for me is still low for a normal person) so I have to be extra careful when I stand up and how I sit.

I also had really bad stomach pains constantly until I went on the contraceptive injection and that seems to have sorted it out.

I have a trapped nerve in my first finger, a dodgy ankle and incredibly weak, thin wrists. Also have asthma and I'm short sighted. The doctors also told me I'm lactose intolerant but it's related to stress?!

Yes and no. I have a skin condition that is under control. Its not really visible but because I know its there it has lead to anxiety problems and depression. I been to see a therapist over last few years from time to time and it really has helped turn my life around. I suggest any one with anxiety, depression etc goes and spends £40 - £50 a session on a recomended therpaist. They dont give you the answers, you already have them, they just extract them. Mental health is very overlooked, lots of poeple suffer from some element they just dont know, I think everyone should see one every 6 months for a check up.

Im now a bit of evangelical preacher on this subject :D
 
No medical threads!!!111

Oh wait.

I can say there is no problems I'm aware of. I don't suffer from any allergies or have to take any pills and my organs are working as they should.

I've never been into hospital and hopefully never will.

But apart from a little excessive weight I'd say I was in excellent condition.
 
I have had a nasal condition for about 4 years which keeps my nose blocked most of the time. Vicks nasal spray helped, but the doctor told me that constant use of it caused me to actually destroy the inner lining of my nose, making it worse, which it did cause I use to take it once before bed at the beginning, then it turned into once every few hours.

He put me on a different spray which helped cause I don't feel as blocked up all the time, but it still effects me at night. It's like if I lie on my right side, my right nasal passage gets blocked and my left opens and vice versa.

It's liveable, just really annoying. Also I am short sighted too, but don't really mind that.
 
I have bad circulation, which means that even in summer I can feel freezing and my nose starts to run. I've also been developing thread veins on my legs since the age of 21, which is highly embarrassing for a girl in her 20's, I can't stand to get my legs out and feel like a complete freak sometimes, even though they're not too visible at the moment. Unfortunately my mum and grandmother have them bad too, so I've had to come to terms with the fact that by the time I'm 30, my legs are likely to resemble a tube map :(
