Open Question: Do most young kids have lots of medical problems or was it just me?

June 28th, 2008 | by admin | Open Question: Do most young kids have lots of medical problems or was it just me?
For the 1st 11 yrs. of my life, I had all sorts of medical problems. Heart murmur @ age 2, 2 strokes @ age 5-both were a week apart, eye surgery @ age 5, nose surgery twice, strep throat, scarlet fever, behavior disorder, arthritis, (they even thought I was @ risk for Pervasive Developmental Disorder), & other illnesses. I was sick ALL the time. By 7th grade, I somehow (magically) didn’t have much medical problems, but then I was diagnosed with OCD & Tourette’s. I suffered depression & anxiety all my life. I’m 24, almost 25 now. & I still suffer OCD, TS, depression, & anxiety. Plus, I suffer irritable bowel syndrome & obesity. The cause of the obesity is a side effect of my antidepressants.
I also had a lot of ear infections, & I had my adenoids removed in 1 of the nose surgeries. Yes, it does suck. Poor baby!
