Yes, I have a disease. It's called my wife. Fortunately, I'm currently undergoing surgeery to have said disease removed. All looks well for a full physical recovery, but mental damage has not yet been measured, and the cost of the treatment is likely to be high.

The "Love bug" hit me. Hit me hard--didn't even see it coming. It hit me full in the face, spun me around and smacked me in the ass. The prognosis isn't good either. Just might have this case for life!!!

I have ocular hypertension.....the doctor THINKS. It's higher than normal pressure in the fluid in the eye. It's the condition that leads to glaucoma and possible blindness if not treated.
I am being treated, with eye drops, probably for the rest of my life. My pressure is down to the normal range, I have no visual abnormalities, and I DON'T have glaucoma, fortunately. And the doctor isn't even sure if I have the pressure problem because my corneas measure thicker than normal, which affects the pressure reading. My corneal thickness is off the adjustment charts, so actually my pressure could have been NORMAL, but there's no way to tell. Even if it WAS normal pressure, the drops don't hurt. It's not like my eyes are going to deflate or anything. Among all medical conditions that require lifelong treatment, I'd say this is about the least unpleasant one to have...that is, as long as it doesn't get worse. CJ |

I have Herpes Keratitis. It isn't the V.D strain of herpes but the milder one that causes cold sores or possibly chicken pox. Herpes Keratitis is viral pink eye, It causes cold sore type outbreaks on my eyes. So far there has been no damage to th visual field in my right eye, which is my good one.
My left eye has untreated amblyopia so it's visual acuity is 20/40 on a good day and 20/70 on average. I really don't even use my left eye. Those two have kept me out of the service and from being able to travel overseas for DOD and State Department jobs, at least thats what there docs say. The Keratitis can flare up depending on weather and just about anything else. And without rare expensive drops it could eat up my vision. So I can't go overseas to the ratholes they send DOD and State Departmetn folks to. I would like to say that you may not get many responses because a lot of folks with health problems don't talk about it. And if it is one of the life threatening communicable disease they will not talk for fear if public ridicule. I remember my family telling me not to talk about my Herpes Keratitis as a teenager, I couldn't imagine having something like Hepatitis. You would be black listed by your friends faster thatn you could look around. |

Well, caught a kidney infection (acute pyleonephritis) about a month back. Spent a week on my back and 7hrs in the ER getting rehydrated and IV antibiotics. the docs are putting me through the paces with tests and such and I'm learning new and interesting things about medical insurance coverage, but everything looks ok so far and I feel fine now. Chalk it up to new experiences I suppose.

I've got reactive hypoglycemia. It't the opposite of diabetes.
Also, heart murmur, ASVT (asynchronous super-ventricular tachycardia - electrical malfunction of the heart) and hearing loss due to 3 non-life threatening brain bleeds. Born 2.5 months preme so I suppose it's what I should expect. SInce I turned 16 I've had more of these kinds of things crop up (I'm 22 now). |

Not wanting to hijack the thread or start a flame war, but that is not accurate. There are a couple different types of diabetes. Yes, obesity is a major factor in type 2 or "adult onset" diabetes. Type 1 or "juvenile diabetes" is more associated with genetic makeup. Your statement generalizing the diabetic youth as causing their disease by obesity and inactivity is incorrect. Going without insulin is, in fact, a common way that young diabetics attempt to lose weight. They get very skinny, then end up in my ICU because they are in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). sleepdr out. |
