I was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter when I was about 10. It was painful while I was growing but no problem for many years. You are the first person I’ve known who has this. I only have it in one knee.
TMJ syndrome. The night guard helps a lot, thank goodness.
Restless Legs Syndrome. Keeping it under control with lots of walking and calcium. Just be forewarned, if you should ever view a flick with me, that I need two seats in the movie theatre so I can stretch out, squirm and have lots of wiggle room.
TMI warning: Mucupurulent cervicitis. Fortunately, it has not flared up in five years or so.
I have hypermobility syndrome. xbuckeye, is that what you mean? It’s related to Marfan syndrome but doesn’t have the excesssive height or the heart problems.
I’m mostly old and fat. And tired. And cranky.
Casey1505, does Mitral valve prolapse sound familiar?
I’ve had RLS for many, many years, since a teenager. It’s hell and when I had surgery and couldn’t move I had to sneak Permax into my room to take so I could keep from going stark raving mad. I would only take Permax in an emergency such as this as I don’t like drugs, and esp those that mess with your brain chemistry. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that my son had the idea of getting a body-length mat that has various settings to vibrate at different levels and in different patterns. If the legs start I turn it on in the rotating pattern making sure one of the buttons is directly on the lower end of my spine, where the electrical pulses emanate and travel into my legs; you have to be patient but in about 15 minutes it will stop. After a month of this I was free of this devil from hell condition for about six months. I sincerely believe that if you were conscious but unable to move that this condition could make you insane. I understand it is usually genetic and has to do with the brain misfiring, kind of like an epliptic episode.
Myopia, astigmatism (thank science for toric soft contact lenses and polycarbonate glasses lenses), messed-up hormones, stress-induced high blood pressure, and (since 1997) no gallbladder.
So far, only severe myopia and an intermittent junctional escape rhythm in my heart (not a serious condition, but the irrecgularity did keep me from getting several hundred dollars to participate in a medical study once 
). Probably came about when I got hit by a car at age nine.
But I may have lots to look forward to: family history of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, Parkinson’s, cancer and diabetes (some recent signs of this last are showing up).
Asthma - Mostly allergy induced. Not much of a problem with the meds I take.
Late Stage Lyme Disease - Now this is a real drag. I get relapses about every 6 months. I periodically lose my speech, feel dizzy, can no longer drive, have permanent brain damage, pain in the joints, memory loss - all from a buggery tick. And I’m not even remotely outdoorsy.
Where to start.
Osteoarthritis in my shoulders. Starting to hit my knees from having the medial meniscus removed in high school.
Hypothyroidism
Myopia
Astigmatism
Non Alcoholic Steatic Hepatitis
neuroma in my left foot, causing 2 of my toes to be numb
A family history of just about everything, excepting prostate cancer.
And at the moment I am going through a variety of tests to figure out if I have MS or if something else caused the nerve damage to my inner ear.
Other than that, I am pretty healthy. Well, except for the cold that has settled in my throat and completely destroyed my voice the last 2 days. 
Thanks for the good wishes. 
Pink and white?
Hmmm. My “case” of granuloma is pinkish-mauve, no white. It’s small bumpy areas on my feet. Occasionally it itches, but I have a steriod cream that if I would just apply it regularly, it would probably get the thing gone, but I forget, since it doesn’t bother me.
Now, my vitiligo splotches stay white in the summer, so then I look like a piebald.
I hate summer. Exposed skin and more comments, stares and rudeness. In winter, I am so fair skinned anyway (total WASP here) that the contrast is almost non-existant. Plus, I like turtlenecks and longsleeves etc. I like winter-alot.
Lots of little things and a couple big 'uns…depression since I was about 7, requiring meds, and ADD (also on meds for that). Some pretty bad environmental allergies, athsma (had both of those since I was a year old). IBS that was triggered when I had my gallbladder removed. There’s no feeling like suddenly having to crap RIGHT NOW because extra bile was just dumped directly into your colon and is burning like fuck. My knees and ankles are also slightly messed up from lifting heavy stuff at work.
Actually, I have chronic sinusitis, which is now only a minor annoyance because they cut windows in my sinuses when I was a teenager. I also have benign familial tremor – my hands shake sometimes, but it’s nothing to worry about. My friends are convinced that herring alleviates the condition (based on a trip to Iceland we took together).
I had holy-hell-you’re-going-to-stroke-out high blood pressure, but some lifestyle changes have throttled it down under control with only minimal chemical assistance (since discontinued). It remains, however, a primary reason that while I have a law degree and am a member of my state’s bar in good standing, I will never practice law. I prefer to live to see 40.
Arthritis (diagnosed when I was 14).
Potentially-fatal allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
Please note that I have a chronic inflammatory disease. :smack:
On the plus side, I’m something of an authority on non-pharmaceutical pain control methods and their relative effectiveness.
It’s neato bandito to have a disease whose symptoms are reasonably easy to control - but for which the drugs that control those symptoms will kill me if I use them on a regular basis. Ahhh the irony.
Hearing loss and also tinnitus, made worse by a recent accident in which I hit my head on the floor. Possible Borderline Personality Disorder. An anxiety disorder for nearly 30 years. The endless torments of Hypoglycemia. Addiction and allergies.
I have Crohn’s disease - thankfully only one surgery, and I still have all my intestines. I take Remicade (an iv infusion drug) every eight weeks, and finally have my weight under control - about 120 pounds, up from 89lbs a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, because I was on prednisone (to try to keep the Crohn’s under control) for a few years, I also have osteoporosis - and I’m only 33.
Other than that, I guess I’m ok.
I’m in love with Kyth*. But that’s not my problem. In fact I suffer from no chronic physical ailments apart from a slightly distorted fingerprint on my right index finger–the result of an unfortunate incident with a domestic rabbit when I was 6.
Oh yes…and I have a balding pate.
My friend took it and he is NOT C-free. There is no cure for Hep-C. Sorry to hear you have it, Dolores.
If only that were true.
MrsB researches Hep C. Only one strain is susceptible to interferon, and that’s not the strain that is most prevalent in Europe or North America.
Dry skin and an overbite here. I’ve been lucky.
I’m a Rheumatoid arthritic and I have Reynauds too. Hi anyrose! Its funny I don’t know anyone in my life that has these, and there are two straight away on the dope. I have both fairly under control with drugs, so its all good. I’m grateful I’m in the UK and have access to the NHS - it must be awful to have to pay for your healthcare.
