    On the topic of health, how's your physical health? Are you healthy? Do you get sick often?
     
    About the same as my mental health, honestly. The two go hand in hand - if one gets better or worse, the other follows suit, so the other continues to get better or worse. Vicious cycle.

    I actually don't get ailments all that often because I'm excessively paranoid/careful when it comes to personal hygeine, though. So I'm not healthy, but I don't get ill very much. It lasts a horribly long time when I do, though...
     
    I can't remember the last time I got sick. I had caught my boyfriend's cold when I was taking care of him at the time but nothing like SUPER sick. When I do get sick, I get REALLY sick to the point that I end up going to the ER (and thankfully it has been two years since I've gone). Most of the time when I don't feel well, I end up "shaking it off" after a day or so, because of how extremely strong my immune system is. It's not just me, my sisters are also pretty good at not getting suck (my little sister once got bronchial pneumonia and had to be at the hospital for a week, that was one huge sickness she has gotten). I've had people ask me why don't I get sick often like they do? And I just...*shrug*.
     
    I've started intaking an obscurely large amount of funny looking pills every morning, in the belief that these so called Vitamins and Minerals will somehow keep the colds at bay.

    Stay tuned for progress.
     
    Bad, I guess. I have rather weak joints and my body heals awfully when it gets hurt. To illustrate: I bruised my ribs last June and they're still healing. At this point I've accepted it's a part of me, but I wish the doctors would do the same because it would at least open a new window of opportunities for treatment. I'm tired of my four-year-old knee injury and I wish the doctors would understand that, at this point, such a long-lasting injury is also mentally straining. Instead, they make an x-ray of my knee (already done thrice), tell me they don't see anything, and put me back on the street. I don't know how to get the attention of doctors anymore without breaking down in tears or something (yes, it affects me that much). I used to be in the same spot for my TMD/jaw dysfunction, but at last I got proper help for that... After five years of calling for proper aid. But that's how the fucking doctors work here; they won't help you with shit unless you present a sob story at just the right moment, and even then you'd need to speak to the right doctor.

    I have a lot of pent up feelings about my bad physical health and how I'm never getting the right aid. My friend, who has experienced all my struggles first-hand, advised me to go to an academic hospital and ask for an analysis of my muscle tissue or joints or whatever, because at this point he also believes it's something bigger. I should be saying "at least my organs and blood stuff are fine" because it's approprate or something, but I cannot for the life get that out of my mouth. I want to stop like a useless rack of bones and muscle incapable or proper function, I want to stop worrying about my body as if I'm eighty at nineteen (which I've been doing since twelve); I want to live, without a worry for once.
     
    Apart from that I need to brush my teeth better and should drink far less Cola, I never really have health issues.
    Hay fever is an yearly occurrence for me, but never enough so I am forced in bed or such.

    I used to be pretty fit, but since I quit football some years ago that has been degraded.
     
    I have low vitamin d, so my health isn't the best ever. But, lately, my physical health has been doing kind of okay? Apart from breathing issues, I've been pretty okay.
