I use a night guard and have to go see the dentist soon bec. I've literally CHEWED holes in it! OMG! When I saw him at 21 years old( 8 yrs ago) he said I had 40 year old teeth. Cusps? I have "foothills". I'm so jealous of Kayleigh's perfect little mountain teeth. This all began, by thew way, when I began college and 3 days later my boyfriend of a year dumped me for another girl..never got quite normal after that. LOL!

Heh... I do have depression and anxiety... but yes, I've VERY lucky not to have allergies as well.
I feel so bad for people who do, I can't imagine what it must be like.

Be glad it's your teeth. I CHEW my tongue. In a while I think I will be able to buy a tongue ring. You can see the impressions of my teeth in it on the left side.
WHEN my brain is working I think it is too fast. I can't watch t.v. and do nothing else. That is why I am on the computer so much. Horoscopes, psychics, and palm readers have all said I am "scattered". Boy, ain't that the truth.

Are you talking strobe lights? I am epileptic (been under control for years) and I know that strobes can bring on a seizure in people. As a matter of fact, using a strobe is part of a test they do. Birds in the a.m ..... yep, I start thinking of recipies for roast robin and cardinal casserole. All IBS safe of course.

Hey, Shannon! This is a really interesting thread you've started. Other than the IBS and anxiety, I don't have any other disorders that I'm aware of. Heh.

I am allergic to Sulfa Drugs and sawdust, but that's about it.

When I'm in pain or anxious I chew on the inside of my left cheek and clench my jaws, but I must not do it that much because the dentist hasn't noticed any changes in my teeth. I'm going to ask my doctor about fibro when I see her in August because I've been having some sleeping difficulties, muscle pain, fatigue. Really, I think I just need to start an exercise regimen!

Oh, I don't know if this counts, but I had open heart surgery when I was three years old to correct a congenital heart defect (ventricular septal defect = hole in left ventricle that did not close itself). I'm all better now. I had an electrocardiogram in November and my heart murmur's gone and there's not even any sign of scar tissue! I guess I wonder if anyone else had this or if anyone else is part of the "Zipper Club?" I have a friend who had the same problem and she also has IBS. I'm sure it's just coincidence. Still it makes me curious!

You are So inspiring to me!

I AM angry with G-d sometimes. Mad about my situation in life. And here are the two of you with so much "wrong" in your lives..yet you have peace/humor/serenity/acceptance/love.

How much I have to learn from you both *hugs* Thank you for this lesson!!!

I have IBS C, GERD (possibly an ulcer by now), constant sinus trouble that waxes and wanes yet I test negative for allergies (naturopth believes I have many intolerances...not just to foo. And I know I'm allergic to my dog...get hives whenever she scratches me...welts actually!), fibro, migraines, I had chronic bronchitus for YEARS (diet helps a LOT), anorexia/overeating, anxiety (perhaps depression...let ya know after I see a psychiatrist), ADD, 7 LD's, the list goes on...

Great survery Shannon *hugs* You have a friend in me too (from the Fitness post!) Sending you lots of love!

what I do is suck ALL the saliva out of my mouth, and all the air, and clamp down nice and hard. And push my chin up with my hands to fall asleep. Pushing up helps my sinuses drain.

(and BTW I love your name)
I find it really hard to imagine what anxiety and depression are like. i get bouts of both, a week here and there every year or so when it's extreme stress time.

But I see very very serious anxiety with my MIL, and serious depression with my sister.It seems so difficult to be trapped in that.
