I can relate to what you are saying. I seem to have inherited all the bad genes from both sides of my family. I inherited a bad heart from my dad's side of the family, a bad thyroid from my mom's side of the family and along with my BP I have issues with migraines, asthma, have had surgery on both knees and will need surgery on my back in the future (something else from my dad's side of the family) Along with that I am allergic to almost all of the narcotic pain meds along with a fair few of the antibiotics and even some antidepressants/antipsychotics. Strangely enough no one in my immediate family has any mental health issues and I have bipolar II. I have one brother who is in perfect health with no medical issues who is a piolet in the Air Force. We joke in my family and say I am the genetic dumping ground for my family. :-)

While I in no means am mad at my family or hate them for passing all of these problems on to me it does get to me sometimes. I am only 23 and I spend more time seeing doctors then I want too. It gets frustrating when I cant meet up with my friends because I have a doctors appointment or I cant do what they are doing because one of my medical conditions has limited me.

So yes, I can relate to where you are coming from. :-)
Thanks for this!
