Are you perfect healthwise?

Poll

How healthy?

Just thought Id create a thread so we could see in general how healthy we are these days. Im talking mental or physical for example anxiety, depression, asthma, poor eysight (glasses). I don't think anyone is perfect but im talking health that we can see. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. Please don't mention colds and flu as they are temporary.

I'l start off I have anxiety and a few allergies. Oh and poor vision in one eye but haven't done anything about it.

Not that it applies to me, but what if people have both physical and mental.

What about an option for 'a little, but it could be worse'?
I have PCOS, hyperhydrosis and acne. And I wear glasses. Nice.

I have asthma, allergies (including hayfever), eczema (though barely any these days), some form of anxiety disorder, quite bad long-sightedness

umm does having an innocent heart murmur count? probably not seeming as it doesn't actually affect my health

I wear glasses, I have mild left sided hemiplegia and hydrocephalus, and I have anxiety attacks/mild depression.

You'll be lucky if you find anyone who doesn't have anything.

The clue's in the name :wink:

Everyone probably has something wrong with them if they think about it long enough. It could easily turn into hypochondriacs central!

I am short-sighted but don't see that as an illness. My hayfever is, but that's about all. And I have an annoying shoulder.

Epileptic. Fun :P

I have had blocked sinuses, and thus a headache, since last April.

Is poor eyesight a physical illness? Then presumably being a moron is a mental one. I really, really hope you have no aspirations to study medicine horrorboy.

I don't have anything, Id say the majority of people don't :confused:

Well I have fainted 5 times in the past for no reason does this count?

there is a complete range, one person may be disabled and in a wheelchair, and someone else may just need glasses to read. Would they both be the same. If that's the case, there is probably almost anyone who has nothing, people's scales are different. Also people who are on this thread - ie health & relationships - are probably more likely to have something wrong with them.

You're on a roll then!
Depends with age I guess. The older you get, the more things you get! Or you're just unlucky and get things at any time of age :biggrin:

All right what would you call poor eyesight then? There are not enough options in the poll to start naming catagories. Im too thick for medicine so am starting physiotherapy.

shortsighted.

Nothing. I havent had even a cold for three years either.

You know Bruce Willies character in Unbreakable? That's me.

i wear contacts and have endometriosis, mild anaemia and controlled gastroesophocal reflux disease :biggrin:

the one that affects me most is my endometriosis, sometimes i can't move for pretty much a week solid, and i might be infertile :frown:

but such is life. I console myself with the thought that i am intelligent and relatively good looking. But then this just makes me want babies so i can do the world a service by passing on my genes :p:

A disability?

I have a squint in one eye, which is totally negated by contact-lenses; I do suffer (and have, since the age of fifteen) from mild-to-moderate acne, though that is decreasingly the case. Certainly, I don't seem to succumb to malady or contagion at all ('freshers' flu' and the occasional day-long sniffle excepted); and my constitution is otherwise quite remarkable: weight and body-fat composition appear not so much consistent as constant, in spite of my diet; no confirmed allergies. Apparently, I don't even need to brush my teeth (although, for reasons of hygiene, I find it nonetheless prudent to do so).

Some would say I have a borderline eating disorder. I mean, does that count as a mental illness?! Because compared to like clinical depression or schizophrenia....These categories are just too broad.
