Medical Conditions?

I have a congenital heart condition that causes palpitations, esp after certain triggers such as poor rest and a rapid change in blood pressure. I also get migraines with auras which occur after certain triggers such as poor rest and stimulation.

I also have a lisp XD which you can hear in any recording of me and is also pretty annoying XD cuz I think it makes me sound younger than I am. Speech impediment yeah blah blah blah

Wait, I never noticed a lisp...


And only one I have is a heart murmur. Was diagnosed 4 years ago, I think? Don't really tell people that, though.
 
on the medical side I have allergys to certain stuff, lazy eye and partly deaf. Then one the mental side I have ASD,dyslexia and dysparixa
 
Osgood-Shlatter's disease in my left knee, chronic bronchitis, insomnia, manic depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and probably a few other kinks in my wiring, but despite all that, I still love to run, weak knee and bad lungs all together.
 
Well, I have a condition known as Acid Reflux Disease. I have to take medicine for it but it isn't too bad. I also have a large number of allergies. As far as Psychological goes I have ADHD and Insomnia. I also have some form of dyslexia, not Phonetic though because I love to read and can read 12 syllables per second.

25 posts and I'm pretty surprised I'm the only one with eczema, considering the condition is not uncommon at all. Then again, it does appear at random (mostly at the infant age, but it'll disappear and possibly come back many years later), and the fact the condition itself actually varies person to person. I bet some people don't know they have it because it hasn't hit them yet or it isn't anything serious or severe, which it is in my case.

Just to be on the safe side, you should have that checked out. It could be eczema, and if you leave it alone because you just thought it was allergies it'll bite you real hard later. Trust me on this one.
 
Physically

Terrible short-sightedness
Asthma
Minor Eczema
Minor-moderate scoliosis
Chronic back pains
Allergies but nothing major
Teeth genetically predisposed to wear and rot easily (thankfully I also have very strong teeth, which is weird I admit)

Mentally
High-functioning autism

Nothing too major really the only one's that really affect me every day are the teeth because I have to give them such thorough care and the autism because I take it with me everywhere.

Not really sure it this is related but eczema reminded me that I'm pretty sure I have Keratosis Pilaris, which, like eczema, is a relatively common skin ailment. Probably not as severe because it doesn't bother me at all, it's just there really, which probably isn't the case with those with eczema.
 
I don't have any physical medical conditions.

Mentally, I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Not much to explain about it other than yes, every now and then I do get an anxiety attack, and I worry about things whether they matter or not. It also explains why I'm so clingy towards people, why I'm an insomniac sometimes, and my memory is thrown off at times which is why I'm forgetful at some things. Used to be on anti-depressants but that made me worse, but occasional therapy has helped me a lot.
 
I used to have Ecxzema all over my face and I was a wreck because I was ashamed. That was a while back now though.

I have OCD, that's all really.

Actually I know that they're allergies because I was checked out once after I had a severe allergic reaction.
 
I dont have a serious medical condition, just ADD and Anxiety, which are getting more and more common in children and adults. My anxiety is the source to my fear of elevators, because damn, if that thing drops, your dead.
 
Physically, there's quite a bit. I have arthritis in the hip caused by an old injury. My knees are really bad, which is just a case of bad genetics. I'm also terribly near-sighted, and my left eye is lazy. Also, I have really bad Keratosis Pilaris, which is caused by too much keratin being produced in the body. KP causes little bumps to appear on the skin like chicken skin, and the bumps itch a lot. I'm always scratching, especially when it's dry out. This is also genetic as my mother had it, and fortunately some lotions and creams came out recently that helps with the itching.

Mentally, I've only been officially diagnosed with depression. I have some concerns though that I hope to get settled some time this year, but I just say I have depression because that's the only one officially diagnosed on me.
 
Physically, I have a lazy eye, which I have grown to live with. As a result, I only ever focus out of one eye (usually my left).

Mentally.. Well, I was born with Autism, which I have managed to mostly grow out of. Now I'd say I just have a slight social anxiety disorder. I haven't been diagnosed with anything else, but I do think I'd have ADHD.. I'm not good with the whole focusing or concentrating thing.

I don't know about OCD, but I do remember when I was younger I had to make everything 'fair'. For example, I would count my steps, and I would make sure that my left foot and my right foot took the same amount of steps. I would click my fingers on my left hand 3 times, then I'd have to click my fingers on my right hand three times, to make it 'fair'.

I also have never really handled sudden changes very well. I like things to stay the same (this would be a result of my Autism), but I have grown mainly used to things changing, even suddenly. Recently, however, I was in a play, and the musical director changed a line in a song the day of the performance, because the actors couldn't get the original line right. I started freaking out because I could barely handle the sudden change.. I had to take a breather to calm down.

I also have insomnia, not as bad as some people get it, but it does result in me not sleeping until at least 3 most nights (unless I am utterly exhausted).
 
Physically - I had an operation when i was an infant..not sure why but it was related to my stomach or something. I had asthma when I was a kid and I have myopia.

Mentaly- Nothing.
 
I have tons. x_x I have high functioning autism, ADHD, mild to moderate dyspraxia, severe anxiety and developmental delays. I also have seasonal allergies that tend be a real pain, and I break out in hives if my anxiety acts up out of nowhere. (Believe me, it does happen. My doctor told me it could.)

I think that's it. I swear I have Dyscalculia too. I haven't gotten that diagnosed since it's not exactly nessacary now that I've graduated high school in 2008. I have a very low math level. It's between 1st grade and 4th grade level. D: I also have some other learning delays as well. I have a poor memory, especially for remembering things or processing anything too.

I do take meds for the anxiety and ADHD.

Oh, and physically... I'm considered obese, which is weird because I look more like I'm pregnant than obese. O_o It causes a few physical problems for me like walking or standing for long periods of time. I can't really get into a routine to lose weight because new routines tend to become a problem while having autism. X_xI also have bad teeth, which is due to my parents also having bad teeth while I had grown up. It was harder for them to set any good examples for me to brush mine, so they never really forced me to brush everyday... and it ended up catching up to me, sadly. :/

My anxiety is the worst though. It causes me fear in just about every little thing. I can't even leave the house or do anything without having either my mom or dad there. It's pretty bad. The meds are able to manage the overbearing thoughts and self-harm/suicide tendencies, but they don't completely eliminate the fears and stress I go through each day.

I'm a fairly physically healthy individual. I have acid reflux though, a tight esophagus (I almost choked on Christmas thanks to that >.<) and I have back problems because I have an awkward gait. Oh, and I get random heart palpitations for NO FRIGGIN REASON WHATSOEVER. Very debilitating and forces me to stop whatever I'm doing until they pass.

Mentally I have autism diagnosed, but I think I also have OCD and clinical depression (or maybe even bipolar).

They don't affect my life too much but it's obvious enough to where people notice it in real life.
