My only disease (that I'm aware of, anyway), is Fibro. But I also have a severe chronic back injury and permanent short-term memory loss from an accident. Other than that...perfectly healthy. LOL

Three words: See. My. Profile.

LOL! (((HUGS)))

I was very healthy until after the age of 30, since then I have been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome and had an uverectomy because they kept bursting. I had my gall bladder removed. A year later I got diverticulitis and was hospitalized for 10 days. A year after that I had another bout of diverticulitis and because I had a dr that kept telling me it was just cramps it got so bad that after an mri ordered by another dr I was immediately taken to surgery to remove a foot of my colon whereupon opening they realized that the infection mastitized to my uterus and one remaining ovary so that was all removed in a 6 hour surgery with a 17 day stay. Deep breath....

During all of this I had been having back problems and wanted to keep working so I would take Motrin to work through the pain, it only took the edge off the pain. I found out I had 2 compressed discs and siatica. Well after awhile a was at the clinic for what I thought was a really bad flu. I had 104 temp and hadn't eaten in over a week. I couldn't stop shivering which was weird b/c I was sent into early menopause due to my hysterectomy. After many tests they figured out my kidneys had failed and I was medivaced to a hosp in another part of the state. Complications from that caused me kidney stones and gout.

Trying to recover from that I was diagnosed with FMS, the battle never ends.

I also have high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, thoracic outlet syndrome and type 2 diabetes. I have Osteoarthritis and bursitis.

My doc told me today he wants to test for RA and Lupus, also today I was put on Zoloft b/c my dr thinks I'm depressed. Who wouldn't be?

I hope that isn't more than you wanted to hear but thank you for giving me a place to lay it down for a few minutes.

Bi-polar

Generalized anxiety disorder

OCD

Agoraphobia (deal with it pretty well at this point finally)

Arthritis

Social anxiety disorder

I also have a bulging disc in my back along with all sorts of other back problems, I have hip displasia issues and need both ankles rebuilt because of weak ligaments and tendons. I have had carpal tunnel in both hands, and I have fasciitis in both feet that needs surgery.

I think that's it.
