Let's see, I can be occasionally moody, generally pessimistic, a bit of a procrastinator, and highly antisocial. In other words, nothing wrong at all with me mentally, though if I was perhaps six to eight years younger, some quack would undoubtedly have diagnosed me with Aspberger's. Physically, I have strong precursors for adult-onset diabetes and hypertension. And there is a higher-than-normal incidence of cancer in my genes. Fortunately for me, I dropped fifty-three pounds (about 24 kilograms,) so the hypertension headaches have gone away.

I have a bad eye. Was found too late so glasses only moderately fix it.

Oh I also have fungus in some of my toenails.

Enigma wrote:Menier's Syndrome, which is affecting both my ears.

Because of MS I have: tinnitus (in both ears)
45% hearing in the right ear
45% balance in the right ear (If I don't pay attention I sometimes would walk like someone who is slightly drunk)
Migraines
extreme vertigo

Other than that, I am fat, depressed and wear glasses.

SDSDSMSB....

I can't imagine what it would be like to have chronic vertigo. I just recently had an acute vertigo attack (due to dehydration mucking up the fluid balances in the inner ear I think) and it was completely dehabilitating.

If I had to face that on a daily basis, I don't think I would be able to do it.

We're all fine pedigree humans here, nothing but the very best in physically and mentally perfect organisms.

Poor eyesight, laziness, insomnia, a bit shy, eccentricities, mild arthritis, i look like a girl and priapism. Though that last one is a lie.

If your avatar is anything to go by, I'd say you have bigger problems.

I have ADD/ADHD - pretty severe attention deficit and much milder hyperactivity/impulsivity. I'm also depressed, I think. Oh, and according to the Personality Disorder Test I probably have schizoid personality disorder. I'm a bit overweight, but at least I don't look really fat.

As far as my senses go, I'd say they're overly active if anything. I am very easily annoyed by extraneous noises - and I have perfect pitch, so out-of-tune instruments annoy me as well. Perfect pitch is both a blessing and a curse. I see somewhere around 20/10 in both eyes.

Actually, unless I seriously miss my guess that's a filovirus. Translation: Marburg or Ebola. Sure does look like it.

Bollocks, my first guess was going to be that (seeing as you had it in your sig image a while ago) but then i went for bacterium at the last moment. Oh well, you get the point. You can't be too healthy if the ebola virus is a good description of yourself.

Plus, how can Ebola have problems? It's Ebola; it doesn't have a care in the world.

I have a mild paranoia coupled with forced actions.

For example, if i don´t check the front door directly before i go to bed, i wont fall asleep, because i ponder if the door is really closed or not.

Well, the door has its problems of locking correctly, but no need for such things, but i cant help myself.

Paranoia is one of the few mental illnesess that "can" have a positive feedback. but i wouldnt mind to go without it...

I know myself better than anybody else, and that's why it'll be a cold day in hell before I let it anyone like me in charge.
