Personal Physical or Mental Frailties

Now, we all know how the Escapist forums act in response to the question "Am I the only one that..."

This is going to be kind of like that.

What kind of physical ailments do you, fellow Escapist members, have? You can be as specific or as vague as you wish, and can include any sorts of conditions that you can think of. If you note that someone else has a condition similar to yours, feel free to discuss it, sympathize with them, or discuss any ways to make that condition less annoying. They need not be full medical conditions, and can include things like a constant back ache or knee problems.

To start us off: While I'm physically fit and have very little wrong with me on the surface, there are some huge annoyances that have caused me tons of anxiety over the years. These include MASSIVE sweating far beyond what a normal person ever has to deal with, back acne that is just annoying, and issues stemming from a possible light form of bi-polar disorder on top of my medicated ADHD. The sweating has been treated medically but is still excessive when combined with my sweat-inducing ADHD medication.

To take it further, both of my parents are alcoholics and both sides of my family have a huge history of emotional problems and substance abuse. Oh, and some degenerative illnesses that have killed plenty of people on my mom's side that I may be a carrier of.

And finally, I recently had a hemorrhoidectomy (surgery to fix, well, yeah), which is easily the worst pain that I have ever experienced. The years leading up to it have certainly been hell in that respect.

So tell me, am I the only one here suffering from any of these?
