I wish the world had free healthcare. It’s such an essential thing for people. I was lucky enough to be born in Canada - the land of free health care and maple syrup.

Healthcare for everyone!

I have bad acne as well and IBS ( which almost killed me when I was a kid)

My IBS at its worst points is more just annoying. If it almost killed u dam im so sorry

 

I was always on the edge of death because of very severe asthma when i was a kid. I was always in the hospital getting mask vapour treatments to open up my lungs

 

fortunately when I moved to Canada the problem largely disapeared as i do way better with the climate here. I still have sensitive lungs to dusts, allergens, pollution or molds but its not half as bad as when I was a kid!

It was mainly bad constipation and it was poisoning me slowly, I wasn't hospitalised for it because my parents didn't notice it, but they did take me to a specialist, the doctor had me drink a lot of fiber drinks and it really helped me and now I am doing better, I just get stomach aches now, spending a lot of time on the toilet, and nausea

I just have some minor stuff going on, but it's quite a list

I have hypothyroidism and I have had to take medication for it ever since I was 19.

I have a snapping hip (actually on both sides, but one side is a lot worse) which really affected me when I was about 25 - I thought I needed a hip replacement because it used to hurt so badly that I even passed out from the pain. Thankfully the pain went away, but the snapping and cracking is still there every day, every minute.

I have pain in my legs and lower back almost all the time - especially at night or when I sit or lay down. Mostly my legs are aching. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I have a guess - I've had it for 1,5-2 years - maybe even before and I noticed last year cuz it got so bad that I couldn't sleep. I got used to it now, but the strange thing is that it disappeared when I was on holidays and came back once I was home again. (I guess it could be from sitting on my chair working and stress)

 

I've got hay fever and there is something wrong with my nose cuz it's blocked most of the time, which is why I'm addicted to nasal spray. (Trying to get off of it currently) If I don't take nasal spray and my nose is blocked I tend to get a headache.

 

And last but not least I got some mental stuff goin' on which is the worst - I have anxiety and I think also a mood disorder/depression (not quite sure what exactly)

[SHALLOW 14,815]

Undiagnosed Autism, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, mild depression and probably something else i haven't figure out yet 

[sarahb 15,241]

Chronic sinusitis, a 'pulled back muscle' that was supposed to heal after a few weeks but still hurts a year later, and I was diagnosed with ADHD but I recently realised what prompted me to get a diagnosis (lack of focus) was actually caused by anxiety so idk if I even have it 

[Healed My Heart 39,406]

A whole bunch  Most of my physical issues relate back to chronic stress from my mental health issues and the toll they've taken on my body.

The biggest ones are various anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, OCD, binge eating disorder, an auto-inflammatory disorder, and chronic pain in my jaw joints and facial muscles due to clenching (I wear oral appliances for 16 hours a day to help). Lots of smaller issues that branch out from those things, like persistent headaches, nausea, dental issues, and side effects from the many prescription medications I take.

I am infinitely grateful that I have good insurance.

Doctors suspected I had IBS or some other stomach / digestive disorder when I was growing up, and I underwent a lot of invasive testing, but it was always inconclusive. I didn't realize until I was an adult that the stomach issues I experienced were all somatic symptoms of my severe anxiety.

[PartySick 134,304]

Nothing that I know of. I mean, depression yeah but who doesn't have depression these days?

chronic sinusitis - this sounds like I could have it cuz my nose is blocked most of the time and I get a headache from that if I don't take nasal spray

[Oriane 18,987]

Nothing too bad fortunately.

I've had extrasystoles/premature heartbeats (still don't know what the exact name in English is) for a few years, it's not serious, just sometimes my heart misses a beat and the following beat is felt as bigger... It's an uncomfortable sensation but it's not dangerous, it happens mostly when I'm stressed.

I used to get colds very often, at least 3-4 times a year, at any time of the year, doctors think it was some kind of nasal hypersensitivity because I'm not allergic to anything. I'm really sensitive to strong toxic smells like perfume, cigarette, cleaning products. For some reason this has suddenly considerably slowed down, I have only had 2 colds in the past 5 years.

Insomnia since I was 12, it got worse for the past 2 years, but I notice it got a bit better recently, I hope it stays like this.

Probably social anxiety and depression that have hopefully improved.

Mild Anxiety, ingrown toenail, religiosity, inferiority complex I guess, but other than that, I'm a healthy male.

I had surgery to fix a deviated septum that was supposedly causing it and it worked for about 12 months before coming back  Not mad though I got a cheap nose job out of it

So yeah I got a slightly stuffy nose that I barely even notice anymore and every month or so I get sick with sinusitis that I just put up with at this point because it's usually very mild anyway 

Though now that I think about it I've never had a really bad bout of sinusitis since the surgery I don't think 

[Concertaholic 4,947]

Anxiety and depression 

And pretty bad seasonal allergies

As most of you know, I'm HIV+ but apart from that I'm a picture of health. I'm very grateful for the NHS and I feel bad for Americans that live in such a horrible system where people have to choose between food and healthcare cuz not everyone can afford it.
