I've mild thalassanemia. Thalassanemia is a hereditary anaemic disease in which patients cannot produce enough red blood cells for normal body functioning. My mum and my bro are also carriers. Up till now, it doesn't really affect me much.

i have a genetic muscular-skeletal hereditary deformity....i thinks its called lari-well syndrome (i bet i spelt wrgly..) the skeletal of my arms and legs are shorter than most ppl, and i inherited this fr my dad (not that i'm happy about it...), juz unluckily, i have this deformity worse off than my dad, he looks stocky but i'm quite the improportion, my body seems taller than it needs to be compared to my legs or arms...& i'm the 1 to get this 25% chance of deformity yet my younger brother by 3 yrs is so much taller and normal.
to say the truth, i cant really tolerate ppl who are typically normal yet dont do the best they can in their lives...like my brother who is perfectly normal and juz what i wanted to be: normal, yet he wastes his life away with disreguard of my parents care for him, his disrespect for every1 but his school friends whom i saw as "not good" & his laziness in his studies.
i can really feel ppl stare at me and sometimes young children look for 3 seconds at me and chatter away to their parent/s...life is juz unfair....
i remembered once that in primary school, this deformity is not so prominant in me, so i look quite normal and in fact, i swim very well, at age 10, i achieved my gold qualification cert for swimming, i can run fast and maintain stamina in PE lessons and often came in 1st in a continuous race & i had time to turn back and look at others run towards me while fr my memories, the 2nd place was won by another girl who looked extremely pale and vomited and had to be sent to the sickbay later...then when i grew, the deformity became more prominant and i cant keep up to the pace because my legs are bowed & short, i need more strides to eqivilant juz 1 stride taken by my average classmate.
i tried to find a "cure" to this deformity but the only way is to operate on the bones of my arms and legs, breaking them and held apart, allowed to regenarate, then broken again and so on...this obviously needed much time to allow the healing and $ for hospital fees, + there is no confirmation that this "cure" can be successful as the bones can bow back...i was well ready to go, i dont really care about other factors really but my parents are the 1s who held me back in the end. even now, i wonder if i could really gain a better life if i had that option then, i could well have even the slightest chance what so ever to being normal...
-
i juz found out the correct spelling: leri-weill syndrome
singapore is very jugdemental on looks, i dont think i'll have a nice time looking for jobs..
-
sometimes people are like that. They don't treasure what they have now, a normal healthy body.
-
yea...since the news states: 1 in every 5 singaporean women will get cancer in the future, i guess every1 wants to be healthy yet "too" healthy, thats y we get new diseases & such, because of humans' abuse of anti-biotics that cause bacteria to have immunities and eating habits that cause other leading health probs
-
I don't have a disease, though my younger brother is autistic.. autism is when someone is born with brain damage, kind of like disabled. There are several forms, capability, communication, etc. My brother is communication. Everyone looks at him like he is a wierdo, someone less capable than others; because he talks like a small toddler. Soceity rejects people who are differant.
Though noone is normal. We say its normal so we feel better, but really it isn't. No one is normal. Everyone is unique. It's just the majority are a certain way, so they say those who are in the majority are strange, stupid, etc.
-
autistic?? is that autism?? haha cuz i'm not sure.. but we had a little fundriser for it at skool..
hmm i hate it wen ppl think poorly of others that have sum kind of disorder.. or they're not acting 'normal' like just today after skool.. my frewns were talking about this guy that was playing badminton against them.. how that guy wasn't normal.. and i'm like oh my god..
well neways.. hmm i don't no if i still have it but i have high cholestral.. hmm did i spell it rite.. haha i had it wen i was like TWO!! haha but i probably got better.. but i got it from my mom's side.. *sigh.. sad.. but it doesn't really affect me or nething..
hmm i mite get diabetes wen i grow up.. from my mom.. *sigh.. so sad..
-
diabetes is awful, it can really lead to lots of other diseases so take care of your health :)
really, i think that children born with diseases and such have no right to be blamed or being looked at differently, but the world is full of healthy ppl born without diseases yet they dont make the best of their lives. and theres the fact that since the world is advancing so fast, its often the ppl burdened with diseases and such who are held back and this leads the fast advancing society to belittle them.....
and about albino...i read it in my biology lesson once before, razeasha, are you immune to malaria? coz its in that textbook that albino is a mutation in the genes of ppl who live in wide-spread malaria-stricken countries like africa and such. up till now i cant imagine that being albino is being struck with a disease...it kinda pops up to me as an evolution for the better :)
-
WHOO!! too many big words.. headache.. haha.. and yea thks tune.. i'll watch my health.. XD
-
i heard theres a type of chocolate other than bitter chocolate that diabetics can eat :) in singapore, quite a large fraction of ppl are diabetic and therefore singapore has quite adapted to the intakes of diabetics, like less sugar and stuff. :D
about high cholestrol lvl...i've also read about that its not shown in the body's fats but runs in the bloodstream so it becomes difficult to get rid of, diet must be precise...my mom's boney but she has high cholestrol too, she doesnt eat red meat much, uses less oil in her cooking and uses only olive oil which is healthy. i'm sure that diabetes and high cholestrol can be overcome~ :)
-
well i no the basic stuff that i'm not suppose to eat a lot of.. haha but it's ok for me rite now.. cuz nothing big will really happen but it's just that i watch wat i eat rite now
-
Aww, Tune, I don't care about how you look, and nierthe should anyone else!
Oh, I forgot to say albinism is a loss of pigment in skin and hair and sometimes eyes. people who are albono usually don't see well or are completely blind. there are other complications too, but i won't get into that...
What I've noticed is that peple with disabilities seem to discriminate against others alot less than the normal person, because they know how it is to be different...
sometimes it's hard to tell my friends and family apart from strangers...
ALL IN ALL
People with disabilities in my opinion, are just people with more charachter. we may have lots of varied struggles from disability to disability, but we all have to work a little harder for what we want, and that makes us strong! Never Give Up!
-
yea~thats what makes us want to strive harder and reach further than any1 else~ :)
-
Seasonal affective disorder is my only malady, fortunately.^^
-
I have a couple but I'm not willing to share publicly at this time...
-
there isnt a need to~ :P not many ppl know bout leri wiell's syndrome anyway, its rare that i can be easily spotted if any1'll find out info about it~ :P
-
Well my little sister had ADD. and my mom has breast cancer. But they want to get me tested because they say it's hereritary.
-

my two younger brothers have thallasemia w/e it's called too.. something like they don't have enough blood.. and that's the only info i got.. plus.. my brother is only a year younger than me.. and he received it which i didn't.. then my other brother is seven years younger than me... my brother that's a year younger than me.. he's not skinny.. but he's not big like the rest of the family.. cause they found his disease later as he grew up.. elementary or something.. i'm not sure
-
Not really...although my family seems to have some gene that makes us very likely to get cancer...yay. Luckily, no one's had it for years, so I might actually be ok!
-
Here is a website which you may want to know more about genetic disorder: http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/units/disorders/
or you can read up the book called The Human Genome project it talks about mapping human gene out and some genetic gisorder like the breast cancer.
Diseases? Everyone has it in their body just that they don't know it until syptoms started to show.Do you know that 100% of the population has herpes simplex 1 virus in them? It is spread so easily through sharing food and utensil!!
-
shh!! i'm supposed to believe i do'nt have any disease!! :D
-
who told you that?
-
Hmm... Chronic Depression and Multi Directional Instability is pretty much all that's wrong with me. And Malnutrition, but that's my own fault.
Multi Directional Instability pretty much means that my shoulders aren't securely in the sockets properly. I was told by a previous doctor that it's just something that would annoy me, but then another doctor told me that it can mess me up. Like my back and can end up hyperextending the muscles in my chest wall (ain't fun when you can't breath). So I have to go to the chiropractors now so they can retrain my spine to stay align. Meh, I guess it's not so bad,
I thought my had the cancer gene as well, since so many people on my moms side of the family had died from it. But then we found out that my mom was adopted so we don't have to worry about that anymore.
-
who told you that?
U refering to me? I am a life science student study about virses, DNA, Human anatomy, disease, immunology. About herpes simplex 1 virus it is in my lecture notes that statistic my lecturer say it is according to the American population. But i was in my 2nd yr first semester
-
wow ok sorry. that was alot of info.
hum i have this small thing that when i excert myself to much i begin to have panick attacks.
very small minor ones so it's almost like i can't breath for a few minutes.
-
I don't actually have a disease but a syndrome. Irritable Bowel syndrome or IBS. this is where the bowel system of your body no longer works properly because of too much stress or too much anti biotics. It is not something you can see but i can get pretty sick with tummy aches occasionally and only a specific type of medicine helps. the aches are no joke because they are compared to labour pains by my doctor. I once wanted to tear out my hair. Lucky for me this does not happen often and is controllable.
-

I get anxiety attacks, too. But I get them so rarely, I never think about it much. I have been getting it a little more often lately, though...probably just stress over school and family and such.
the aches are no joke because they are compared to labour pains by my doctor. I once wanted to tear out my hair.
I get pains like that, but I don't have IBS. I found out just yesterday that the problem is with my spine. Some vertabrae were "pinching" (so my doctors said to "dumb it down" for me) parts of my nervous system, or something like this. So "info" (again, they dumbed it down, haha.) wasn't getting to certain part of my body, so sometimes it wouldn't respond properlly and I would get pains in my stomache, along with chronic headaches, neck pain, muscle tension, etc. the whole package! So my doctor has told to to keep going to the chiropractors, although she wasn't happy about it (doctors don't seem to like chiropractors).
I never had it compared to labour pain, but it has made me go a little crazy. I remember one time, it was hurting so bad I raked my nails over my arm and it cut pretty deep, the scars are still there!
-
i don't any disease but when i make my hand into a fist and do it hard it make a sound that sounds like i just cracked a bone.my sis was sick before and i was on the bed closing my eyes and i heard my mom scream my sis has blood coming down her eyes and that freaked me out!
-
That's. ...disturbing. What was wrong with her?
-
well i just noe that shes sick
-

-

-

STFU
KMA
IDGAS

-
IDGAS and KMA
are not very well known slang since nobody uses it and nobody understands it.
otherwise they are "i don't give a ****" and "kiss my ***"
but how did diseases get turned into a topic about acronymiesthingies ?
USA
United States of America, lolĀ :tongue3:
-
I thought those were Acronyms? Oh well, I'm probably wrong.
Anyways, back to the topic on hand.
Anyone else like to share?
-
Acronyms, yea i think thats it.
Diseases... hm... uh can i say lack of self confidence ?
-
heh, I just found out what LMAO was a few days ago too...you're not alone Victoria-sama :sweatdrop:
lack of self-confidence....I don't think that counts.
Not sure what diseases I have...-runs off to check-
-
i thought u knew okamirei
-
nope, not till the past few days :sweatdrop:
-
oh!^-^;
-
I've got kidney stones right now!
....err....even if it isn't a "desease"
-
Diabetes is common on both sides of my family, but I don't have it. But I would like to say this. If you have a diesease or an illness of some kind I want you to know that you are normal. I see people with disabillities everyday & to me they are normal. I accept everyone, whether they be disabled, "diseased", gay, or anything else. Anyways, I sometimes believe there is no such thing as normal, but that's just me. My overall message is just be happy with who you are, just remember Kyle Rondart loves you all.
