What things of that sort did you use to have that you no longer have?

For me it was the whooping cough, i thought i was gonna die and was ready for it. But i ended up getting over it.

I had Salmonella when I was 4 and it put me into the hospital.

That's about it because every other problem I have is never going to go away no matter what I do.

I was one of my family to be diagnosed with organophosphate poisoning by proxy from birth. I've mostly stabilized after specialist treatments for many years, but still suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (which is one of the conditions)

I had pneumonia as a child, and as a teen/early adulthood I had anorexia and bulimia which I also overcame.

I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2019, and have had two surgeries since then. It hasn't gone away (and probably won't go away unless doctors find a cure), but the situation is definitely improving and I've been feeling better about myself lately. (Cutting off a toxic friend also helped a lot, lol).

nothing really, I had a cancer-scare a few years back, but it turned out to be nothing.

Happy and healthy!

Nothing really that would keep me longer in bed than 2-3 days at most and that was longer ago when I was a young child. The most I can recall ever since high school was me feeling unwell for a couple of hours because of eating bad things here and there

I'm sorry to hear that. I had salmonella as well (I was in grade school, though) and all it did to me was me having to go to the toilet a bit more often and also in the middle of night, but only the first 2-3 days. Afterwards, my condition improved significantly. It felt more like some minor inconvenience than anything serious

I've been seriously ill many times, biggest ones being Salmonella, Pneumonia, and Spinal Meningitis which caused minor spinal cord damage. It really only makes my legs a bit shaky sometimes.
I've also been diagnosed with C-PTSD and depression. Although in recent years I've gotten much better with coping so they don't affect me quite as severely as they used to. But the C-PTSD can be a real bitch sometimes. I would say I've gotten over them for the most part though, at least compared to how I used to be. I can live a normal life now.

I had once overdosed on vitamins. I have no recollection of what happened though. Maybe I actually died that day and everything since then is just my dying brain's fever dream

When it rains it pours, I was born quite prematurely so I have a whole slew of medical issues I've had to deal with, guess I'm just built different lmao. Stuff ranges from mildly inconvenient to life threatening / ridiculously expensive.

Do you have a reliable healthy relationship with food now? I never had any big eating disorder but i tried to die by starving myself and after that i sometimes just want to skip a meal and dont feel like eating. I dont have a reliable healthy relationship with food.

Its not that your answer would help prove anything for me cuz it could 100% be either, that you've managed to get a reliable healthy relastionship with food, Or that you are like me. I guess i'm just curious cuz food is so important to life and health.

I had covid last week and it was nothing. I just had a cough and that was pretty much it, but I'm 3x vaccinated. My wife had worse symptoms though.

I also had pneumonia 2 or 3 times when I was younger. Had to be hospitalized once for a week because of it.

Other than that, nothing too major I don't think. Oh, I did have ecoli once too when I was young. It was brutal.

Depends how many types of things you want to include. For one I had lyme disease that caused half my face to be paralysed and a pain near my ear and loss of sense of taste in nearly half my tongue. I couldn't even blink. I had what I think was a kidney stone which caused intense pain and I went untreated for it because it both was misdiagnosed and because it happened during the night and I didnt want to deal with the ER of the hospital. Some years back I had a virus or something that causes me to violently throw up to point my vocal cord tore some so blood came out.

Worst I've had is probably pneumonia when I was 6. Also had stomach flu, food poisoning, and way too many cases of strep. But honestly, there's something to be said about being sick and staying home from school. Good change of pace, at least.

My relationship with food is still not healthy. I don't eat regularly and sometimes I eat too much. I can't really tell when enough is enough and I happen to overeat. But hey, no puking or starving at least!

i was anemic with unhealthy lifestyle so liver got messed up. had non-stop fever, yellow pallor and threw up everything including water. recovery meant taking pills and eating extremely light food without any oils, meat, salt, etc for many months. was fine after that

I had a neuropsychiatric condition that halted my working memory for more than a decade, but I overcame it in 2019. I just made life adjustments and took large doses of Green Tea and my memory then turned back on.

I got a bladder infection when I was like 3 or 4 and my dad told me about how doctors put a thing through my dickhole to clean it. I vaguely remember it.
I've also gotten sick many times and I remember 1 time where it was REALLY bad and I couldn't breathe because of how fucked up my throat was. Also recently I got covid but it wasn't so bad.
Right now I have mild tinnitus which I got while I had covid. I don't hear it most of the time but I still wish I didn't have it. It isn't terrible, but I hate the ringing and background noise that accompanies it (sounds like deep room ambiance). Luckily my hearing is still good. Hoping for a breakthrough sometime soon so I don't have to suffer from it when I get old, because at that point it will become unbearable! I want to experience silence again ;-;

Do some light neck stretches, massage around your ears on your head and then tap with your fingers or lightly knock with your fist at base of your skull behind your ears. Does that clear anything up? (there is actually a way more entailed version of this but this is short version)

Sorry for late response! Thank you for this, it reduces the intensity of the ringing temporarily. While not a perfect solution, it helps! Thank you :D

Oh that's good. There is actually many versions of similar methods all similar intent.

Long term I think it would be good for you to get vitamin A, B9 (folate), B12, C, D, E as well as selenium and magnesium. So basically a varied relatively healthy diet or a multivitamin will do though some lack selenium which would need to be it's own if it does.
