Penalties of the Genetically Damned

Post » Sun Aug 19, 2012 1:42 pm

Bad eyes. Whenever I walk into a room where the lighting differs from the other, I go blind for about 12 seconds and lose balance. Other stuff too, but stuff I don't feel like sharing with strangers on the Internet.

But, it served as karma for quote "having the sixiest blue eyes I've ever seen."

Also, to above. We're Hardgainers with an extremely fast metabolism. It took me 3 years to work out enough to lose enough weight for my 6 pack to show. Normal people can do it in 6 months. Still only 130 pounds, but I'm in high school and have time to get another 20.

Me & you share this bizzare trait. I consider it more of a blessing personally.
As do I. I wouldn't have anything to do with all so much muscle anyway. :shrug:

Short (average in some countries but mainly short: 5' 8)
It seems that whenever someone complains of being short, they're always much taller than I am.

I get kidney stones fairly often. I try and avoid dairy products, but I do have a weakness to ice cream which is a constant struggle. Damn you ice cream, why must you be so delicious.

all of my organs were under developed, i was never meant to live, its only by modern medical science that i survived through the infancy period. once i hit 13 years and older i started to strengthen some of the important functions such as lungs, bladder and respiratory system.

However some of my other organs aren't good at all, i have constant pains and their getting worse all the time. I won't live to 60, at least not naturally. i don't consider it to be a curse or to be damned however.

Lots of Kindey and Galbladder problems along with Bipolar Disorder.
Other things like Schizophernia, a Muckle-Wells syndrome, and some sorta thyroid disorder run in my family. But I avoided those.

Well... I'm prone to alcoholism because both of my grandfathers were alcoholics... I have an enlarged heart... that's all that sticks out :shrug:
If you try hard enough you don't have to drink. I always tried to tell my friends that there is an alcoholic gene. If you compare a person with no family history of drinking, compared to a person with a family history of drinking, then the person with the gene will have a harder time putting a drink down. They are more susceptible to alcoholism.

But they wouldn't accept what I had to say.

But I have a huge head, it's oversized. I also have skinny legs, they look weird.

Male-pattern baldness. My father isn't going bald, but pretty much every other male relative on my father's side (including my paternal grandfather) show signs of it. I already have the beginnings of a widow's peak. There's also a lot of diabetes and cancer in my family on my father's side, though they also don't exactly lead healthy lives. Also, lactose intolerant. Present in most East Asians, but I happen to like dairy products, so it's a bigger problem with me.

I'm slightly shorter than average, though that has nothing to do with genetics, I just ate a lot of junk food and instant noodles in the height of my growth spurt. I have a big nose, seriously, they look like those Groucho-Marx gag glasses sometimes. My hair is also exceptionally greasy. It kind of clumps up by the end of the day, and if I don't shower that day I look like a pedophile.

I am cursed with the inability to grow a lot of facial hair. Seriously, I'm twenty-one, and in the week since I shaved I have, like, an inch of sparse stubble on my lip.

I've got pretty loose joints, which mean I was very prone to dislocating my knee when I was doing Taekwondo. Also poor eyesight, and I need to work to keep weight off.

Other than that I've done pretty well so far in avoiding health issues. No serious genetic diseases or issues afaik.

That said, being trans is a pretty wonderful genetic lottery ticket to draw. Stupid prenatal hormones. :swear:

I'm selfish (not sure why everyone ISN'T).

I have the tendency to make people feel like crap without trying.

I have a deep dislike for people who aren't like me.

The left side of my chest sticks out considerably more than the other side.

My father, great grand father etc. Have never lived past 60 seven generations back. (that ones quite depressing, I guess I'll just have to break that bad luck streak.)

I lie on instinct sometimes.

I can't take pain.

Bad eyesight.

And I feel horrible because my friend here beside me made me type it because that's what he thinks of me.

I seem to have built up quite a collection: depression, anxiety, ADHD, Asperger syndrome, gender dysphoria, high blood pressure, diabetes, weak liver, high cholesterol, poor eyesight and spots. I suspect that a few of them are related, though, and could probably be summed up as "crap and useless". Edit: forgot scolioliosis. And chronic insomnia, and that my northern European skin burns if I so much as go near a 40 watt bulb.

Digestive problems. Whenever I eat something I always feel bloated. The doctors said that it is a heredity thing, and I will be stuck with it the rest of my life.

Have HORRIBLE heart burn that I will have to take pills for the rest of my life.

Bad eye sight from looking at the sun too much when I was little ( I liked the feeling of it when I looked at the sun...). And I killed my ears since I am a drummer.

I was born with/have thin hair that I can't do anything with. It looks like I am bald when it is short, and it looks fried when it is long... That is why I always wear a hat.

I have an enlarged heart... that's all that sticks out :shrug:
Just how large is your heart... if it... sticks out? :touched:

I'd say weak bonestructure and the need for glasses to properly see [censored] (and other things).

I've been handed cancer twice in my life and I'm only 22. Got leukemia when I was 13. Went through several rounds of chemotherapy and after a few dificult months I was in remission. I was 15 when cancer hit me again. This time I had to under go a bone marrow transplant. After being on the donor list for a bit we found an international donor from Germany whom was a direct match for me. Been dealing with the after effects ever since.

I think my whole family has been damned. I lost my sister in a car accident when I was 14. If I ever needed to go through a bone marrow transplant she was a 100% direct match. Unfortunately it turned out I did need one a year later. Shortly after that my other sister was hit with cancer. Needless to say my family has been through a sort of hell. With both my sister and I getting cancer we often get asked if we grew up under powerlines or something. We were actually raised in the country on a farm, raised cattle for our own beef and grew almost all of our food. Everything was 100% organic and we never used chemicals nor did any of the farms around my house.

Hm.. I'm tall (for a female.. scraping 6ft) but also slender (used to be skinnier), often it's just me feeling awkward but sometimes it has annoyances such as public transport (cramped legroom) or harder work for dancing (which I took up professionally) or finding clothes. So I have long limbs, I built up leg muscle through dancing but still find my arms lanky. I also get veins sticking out, noticeably on my hands.

I have a lower back problem, it's quite "flat" and developed joint mobility problems and facet syndrome and possibly sciatica to some extent.. here dancing has also become problematic. I also suffer from chronic pain from a hamstring injury.

Ear disorder.. patulous eustachian tube.

Pale skinned, I burn easily, and with suncream I barely tan no matter how long I am in the sun.
I also have a bad habit of scratching scabs or biting the skin around my thumbs when I'm nervous. :P

Wow. That's pretty harrowing. :( Just being able to come through all of that is a feat in itself. I hope things take a turn for the better...
