Let’s not go into how much brain damage…:eek: But sometimes I’m actually happy. Or can at least poke fun at myself.
I think you mean Factor V.
As for me, all I’ve got is diabetes, but that’s because my pancreas shriveled up and died for no reason, which is kind of extra fun.
:eek:
Yeah, I’m not a contender here. Most of my stuff is under wraps now, thankfully.
No man, most people have V—I have six…yeah, you’re right. Factor V.
I suffer from a familial tremor. But it’s so off the scale bad, I can’t even write with a pen any more.
I’ve also been reduced to chicken pecking on my keyboard. My condition has gotten way worse in recent years.
