Furs with medical problems?

[Mr.FooxKarma]

Sorry if this post seems slightly out of place or has been done before and if it has then I'll happily remove it.


I was wondering if their any furs who have problematic, annoying, disabling, painful, embarrassing and or serious or moderate health problems. Mainly physically or possibly mentally if serious.


I have definitely been curious because of my own background and my mates personal experience.


I have a some what chronic stomach disease that has been going on for years now, it's easier to mange but sometimes I just feel absolutely terrible, hard to eat, throwing up bile, bleeding. I have weight problems causing me to look almost anorexic at 115 pounds and 6 ft give or take. I also have other issues with bone and tissue in my chest causing a slight protrusion, currently fixing that though with bracing or surgery.


Well that's about it for now! Kinda just wanted to create this so others don't feel to ashamed or misplaced, even embarrassed.

I was recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I think I've had it for ten years or more without realizing it. I was tired all the time no matter how much I slept, but didn't know why. Basically I went about a decade without a good night's sleep. Now I have a CPAP machine and it's not much of a stretch to say that it's changed my life.

I have a muscular disease called spinal muscular atrophy- basically as time goes on all my muscles will get weaker and weaker. there is no therapy and no was to stop the progression. so because of it ive been in a wheelchair most my life- but I know others who have the same thing and are much worse off.

Thank you, genuinely, and I suppose like any medical problem that anyone has -you get a bit used to it.

I have very severe anger management issues. I've put myself and other people into the hospital as a result.

Well I hope you mange it a better! Anger management can be kinda therapeutic. I personally feel like I can't get angry...like I'm pretty quiet and apathetic, I can barely yell, that's what pisses people off the most when their screaming me. xD

I'll copy mine from my journal
may be tough at times, I don't let it bother me or get in the way

Spoiler for Firox:

Personal info about me I'm willing to share:

If I were to say something about myself that I haven't shared on other parts of the forums.
I do have diabetes type 2 - kind of the worst kind, have to take medication for it every day and inject insulin every night.
I have been to the hospital as well once, December 11th 2015, related to diabetes, almost a year didn't take medication or doctor's advice, consumed too much starch (potatoes and rice) and fats (fried foods) which I can have in small quantities as long as the rest of the meal is healthy. I still remember felling very dizzy, headaches, and very fast rapid heart beat - one of my mom's husband's friends took me to the hospital and stayed overnight - no one in my family knew I had diabetes, I never told them my grandma was the only one who knew.
Ever since I left the hospital, I been taking better care of myself, doing everything the doctor's recommend. So far been doing very good.

I have asthma, which has gotten better since I was a kid, though I still have attacks if I push myself too hard outdoors.


Also struggled with anorexia, not much anymore but I'm still underweight for how tall I am, and I still have some trouble eating calorie - high foods, though I know that the kind of calories I need will benefit me. But I'm okay.

I have extreme rolling in my ankles, which throws my whole center of weight off. It gives a lot of ankle, knee and lower back pain which can make walking hell at times. The treatments I've had haven't done much to alleviate the issue and were a complete nightmare. I've also been diagnosed with hyperlaxity (which a lot of people tend to have), but unfortunately developed symptoms that leaves all my joints sore, and will progressively worsen. I have IBS, which can be really embarrassing at times.

On top of that I have moderate Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD and Dysphraxia (I think that's how it's spelled).

Thankfully I've been surrounded by very supporting and understanding people who have helped me along the way.

The only thing I can add to that is getting beaten with a baseball bat, especially the side of my knee. The thought that went through my head was " Damn, this is what the guy from casino felt like..." Then proceeded to cry like a little bitch, not from the pain as much as from thinking about the dude from Casino. xD
