I have low blood sodium, always have, and it messes with everything. I have to drink salt water in the mornings and salt all my food like crazy (which horrifies most people) and go easy on guzzling water because it flushes out what I am trying to maintain! Kooky, huh?

My Grandpa had that - he was in and out of the hospital all the time due to it.

Out of my way, folks... I physically cannot orgasm. Not because I'm not *ahem* pleased, but it's a medical thing induced by my antidepressants.

That's unfortunate. It must be fairly common though, I would think.

Not much wrong with me that's unusual, but my husband has an extra sinus. Among other things. I've always called him the only hypochondriac in North America who's really sick!

I have multiple!
I have a spur (bony growth growing off bones) just above my knee. It can get painful if I am doing lots of walking, as it does rub against my skin, despite what an orthopedic surgeon told me.
I also used to have an optic nerve pit on my retina. Basically a hole in my eye that was letting brain fluid in. I had laser surgery on it when I was 6, the first time it was ever performed on a child. This closed up the hole but encapsulated the fluid that was already in it. When I was 24 it opened again and the possibilities for surgery had advanced. The surgeon devised a new scalpel blade (smallest he had ever used) to make an incision to drain the fluid that was left after the first surgery. Then he sealed it up again with a laser.

A third kidney runs in my wife's family. It's been confirmed in her father, aunt and a neice. Apparently they are quite small, but are actually functional. They were originally found because someone had a bad pain and this "growth" showed up in an area it shouldn't have been. Biopsy showed kidney tissue. Later they found out they were passing kidney stones and that was the cause of the pain.

Ever since my left front tooth grew in when I was six, it has a tiny little dent in it. My dentist has told me there's a way to fix it, but it doesn't really bother me

I have partial syndactyly (fused toes) on my right foot. My friends often joke that this allows me to swim faster... I also have hyperelasticity on my thumbs, I can bend them backwards almost 180°. These are apparently a family trait that skips a generation. My great-grandmother, on my father side, had them too.

I have abdominal migraines. They're basically just migraines in my stomach. I hate them because I puke so much more with them than a normal migraine.

I have two horizontal lines on top of each other on one side of my nose, next to my eye. It looks just like an equal sign. It's just a spot of thin skin, but it's cool. Most people have something like that (thin skin), but on both sides of their nose, and vertical.

I have extra ribs. 1 on each side. Found by my cardiologist when I was 5. Definitely weird. My mom and grandmother had them too.

I have extreme hypoglycemia!

normally, hypoglycemia just means that if you don't eat enough protein, you get all pale and tired and shaky real bad real fast. however my pancreas suck extra, so for some reason, since I was 15 I have gone into hypoglycemic shock instead of getting pale. this entails many symptoms of having a stroke. half of my brain turns off, I lose half of my body, and I lose all logical forms of thinking. not to mention the vomit. more people have it than you would expect, and it is deadly. I think we just need to raise awareness. up with the gray ribbons, people!

My eyes change color too. Some shade of blue -light to dark. Sometimes they get yellow specks around the pupil so they look green.

I have Spastic Diplegia. My entire childhood, I walked on my toes/the balls of my feet. I literally could not touch either of my heels to the ground until middle school. People still catch me toe-walking in adulthood. We all just assumed I'd grow out of it, but the past few years have seen me in a lot of leg pain and I went for a diagnosis. It turns out this is caused by brain damage (sustained during fetal distress, I was an emergency c-section) and is treatable with Botox injections.

I have an overactive gland in my left eye. The doctor said it's a bit like having acne in my eye. Gross. Can't wear contacts or I get bad eye infections. Found out after having pink eye on and off for six months. Also my mouth/teeth are very basic on the ph scale, while most people struggle with high acidity.

Fabry. Its a rare medical condition where my body doesn't produce enough of a specific enzyme to fully break down the food I eat. Results in a build up on the fatty organs which causes them to eventually fail. Also causes build up in the nerve endings so chronic pain as well. Have to have enzyme replacement infusions every two weeks for the rest of my life but when I was first diagnosed at age 14 there was no infusion available so feel blessed that came along.

I don’t have canines. The permanent canines took so long to develop that the rest of my teeth filled in the gaps. I got braces slightly early because of that. My dentist currently is wondering if she should do surgery to pull down the canines
