Women in their 20s - tell me about any health disorders you suffer from

[Borelis]

I know it's an odd request but I often feel old before my time because of the various annoying illnesses I got in late-teens and still have in my mid-20s.. often youth is known as a time when you don't have to be too strictly healthy with diet but I'm having to check each and every label of any food item just to make sure it won't make me ill...

I have asthma and allergies to various food items (eggs, wheat) and an awful dust allergy and IBS..

Tell me what chronic disorders you're living with if you're a woman in her 20s so I don't feel like I'm the only one... most people I see are walking around looking like a picture of health so I do feel alone sometimes..

I am allergic to so many things my poor skin suffers awfully - but only on one hand! My right hand is constantly covered in what looks like eczema and doctors don't care.
Also have damage to my sciatic nerve which effects my back and ability to stand for long periods of time - I hate the whole "oh you're too young for back pains"!

I'm 28 and have hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and eczema

I had a slipped disc aged 15 which took years to diagnose because teenagers "don't suffer from them". I'm now 27 and have just been told I've slipped another one, again taking years to diagnose despite me repeatedly asking them about it because I'm just "too young for slipped discs". It means I'm often hobbling around, making noises to get out of chairs and I can't do much lifting.

Thank you for all the posters so far who have shared their health woes - it does make me feel a little less alone.

More posts appreciated :)
