Ptsd, ocd, ibs, very sensitive teeth due to brushing hard over the years, chronic bronchitis, urinary retention
I wonder if my cough is asthma. I don't brush every day because my ocd makes it hell. But brushing usually helps the pain. I've noticed pain after eating dry cereal though so I guess the enamel is gone.

I have endless somewhat "nickel and dime" stuff. Nothing that's seemingly going to kill me today, but I am under the care of about 10 specialists and have endless issues that mess me up - Bipolar, 24/7 fibromyalgia, two autoimmune diseases, 24/7 tinnitus, coronary arteries full of calcium, (fill in about another dozen plus similar items).
I saw a new neurologist two weeks ago. I've had peripheral neuropathy symptoms for over five and a half years and decided it was finally time to see somebody about this.
A huge factor in my deciding to finally see a neurologist was the story of Fighting Souix, if you remember his failing health was associated to peripheral neuropathy, or something very similar, as I recall.... R.I.P.
My neurologist told me that since I've had these symptoms for five and a half years it was "good news" as the duration of symptoms indicated that I didn't have something like cancer.
Hmmmmm. There is a fresh outlook for Chupacabra.
He acknowledged that he reviewed my extensive medical history and stated how "healthy" I am. I was silent.
I left with an increased perception that "it can always be worse" for me from a physical and mental perspective. I reflected on my own health and thought about the glass half full concept - only for MYSELF.
I told my primary at my annual physical earlier this year - I feel like a 30 year old, neglected, used car. Lots of deferred maintenance and lots of dents and dings, but the engine still runs and I get from point A to point B.
For myself, I've come to better terms with my health, and accept that it can always be worse for me.
The question is what I decide to do with this knowledge because all these endless nickel and dime issues exacerbate my mood and outlook on life.
Peace.

No indications of something like cancer. Nice! If this is the good news, then what is the bad news.?

With neurology it's "good news" if it's not degenerative or fatal. Sucks for you if it makes your life hell, but hey at least your brain isn't progressively rotting away.. yep, been there. It's annoying and frustrating lol

Mental: BPD, dissociation, CPTSD, PTSD, pseudo hallucination, hallucinations, capgras syndrome (it's minor as it only effects my pets but still a pain at times), separation anxiety, social anxiety, phobias (if I were to list them we'd be here a while if I have to pick 1 it's needles hands down) (I think I'm missing some but I'm not 100% sure)
Physical: Sponlylolisthesis, lumbar scoliosis, an undiagnosed breathing problem, the amount of headaches I get you could probably call it chronic, random aches and pains I get from head to toe that are so quick to come and go that I don't see any reason to get it diagnosed, and I "randomly" (as far as I know right now) get sick.

Autism.
Schizophrenia runs in my family and though I'm not diagnosed, I find myself exhibiting some of the symptoms. I fall into delusions easily, sometimes I hear people talking when nobody's there, or see bugs walking across the table that are nonexistant.

A brain the size of a planet, and paranoia and grandiosity the size of a universe.
Probably cPTSD thanks to the loony ex-wife, severe lack of self esteem, and etc.
I typed a planet the size of a brain at first, then retyped it and it can out as a brain the size of a paent.
I think I was subconsciously trying to spell peanut.

Physically, I have type 2 diabetes. I know lots of people in America have that but I already have it at 26. I don't have to take insulin or constantly prick myself to check my blood sugar (yet) but I'd rather die than have to do all that everyday. The medication I take for it usually just replaces my diabetes with diarrhea so that's fun.
Mentally I only know I have depression and anxiety. I could have other things but I'm not interested in knowing what they are unless there's an actual solution that isn't shoving more pills into me.

Is type 2 the lifestyle one (supposedly), dietary, and etc, or is it the one where your pancreas doesn't function at all?

The first one you said. I don't even eat that many sweets or desserts either, it was being Chinese and eating rice that probably doomed me.
Bummer man. Mind you I know a girl (friend of daughter) who was diagnosed with type 1 when she was a baby so her whole life she's had to jab herself with needles and constantly be frightened about whether her blood sugars were okay.
Saw her totally freak out one day because she couldn't work it out, she'd have been about 14, poor girl.
Is there no hope to reverse it with diet changes, etc?

Probably, but nothing motivates me enough to want to try. I know from past experience that I just can't give up any of my favorite foods and I also don't get any joy out of regular exercise, only pain.
I basically decided to stop smoking about 6 months ago but didn't want to put weight on, or what's the point?
I forced myself to eat less, one main meal (smaller portions size, i.e. 33% less than normal and eat it earlier in the day) and a snack or 2 if necessary (i.e. toast or a slice of ham and a tiny bit of cheese or something) - it made me realise I was kidding myself about how much I ate, and after only 2 days I stopped feeling hungry and wanting to eat junk.
Have been smoke free for 6 months and have lost 28llbs (2 stone) in weight at the same time.
Am stuck now though, can't seem to lose an ounce.
It's not just mind set, it's what your body gets used to and you need to force it through those hurdles. Tough for a few days to a week (smoking and eating), then it just becomes the new normal.

It's nice that you realize this. I'm not sure most people do. The paranoia and grandiosity I mean.

I'm very glad for you since you are able to push through such an ordeal!
I have far less faith in myself though because every time I've tried I get in my own way. The only time I've been able to make it work was when I was going to a fast food job and only eating the very small meals I was allowed to eat from there. I lost 30 lbs but it was only because I was unaware of it. Once I became aware though I eventually had to quit the job and there was nothing stopping myself from eating. I just can't be made to give up the foods I enjoy unless maybe I had an external force to either distract me or force me through it. Since I'm stuck at home all day I have even less ways to occupy my time and distract me from eating too. :/
Of course I realise, that's because I'm so great.

My doctor, and the topic was what debilitating illness we have. Schizophrenia and severe depression keep me from functioning=debliltating.
Sorry, I was talking to the other one. I didn't make that clear. My fault.
