Washington, DC USA I have Fibromyalgia and it limits my doing housework and lifting any thing heavy. I have pain in my left leg and knee that bothers me but my doctot says I have to keep going like walking etc for exercise. Marci, 56
Diamond, OH USA Nah, not really. I'm ananemic, but that doesn't limit me in any way. Dianne, 16
Ontario CANADA I've been cursed with one of the orphan diseases which has left my legs and hips very vulnerable to fractures. I've also survived cancer twice, but the radiation and chemo treatments have left me with a very erratic digestive tract, a tendency to bloat and an inability to tolerate temperatures much over 75 degrees.

Saylorsburg, PA USA I have had frequent kidney infections all my life and my kidneys are severely messed up. They are smaller than usual and I get lots of infections. When I was younger, this limited my life far more than it does now. I have learned to control my diet, exercise and stay healthy, know my limits, stay still when it is really humid, drink a lot and recognize the signs of an on-coming infection. As a result, I am not really limited except for the occassional infection - far fewer than in my youth. (Just for the record, when I was pregnant, I went from one kidney infection to another and the doctors finally had to put me on a low-level anti-biotic just to keep me from getting any more so it would not effect myself or the baby.)

Nope, well not really. I get cold sores (herpes) on my lip if I get in the sun and my lips get burned. Even though I haven't gotten one in years, it does restrict my sun exposure unless I have on chapstick. I got the virus from my mother when I was a child because I use to drink after her.

Well let's see..... I'm overweight, I've had an achy back since my early teens, and every now and then my nerves decide to take a month out of my life randomly pinging me just to make sure my pain receptors are functioning. But none of it's killer and I've never gone to the dr for any of it, so eh. I'm here. For the most part I can do what I want to. Yeehawww.

Let me put it this way: I take medicine that keeps me from whigging out...but I refuse to use that excuse for my failure in life...

I don't have any defined physical ailment other than a few too many pounds. Which in my past have limited me pychologically more than they ever have or would physically.

Brampton, Ontario CANADA
Just some over the counter meds I cannot take due to high blood pressure. I suffered with Panic Disorder for many years....before I got it under control, there were many places I couldn't go, many functions I couldn't attend, and many things I just couldn't do. That's a serious business - but thank God there are meds and methods to tame the beast.

Have you got all day? Let's see, currently I have a broken toe (walked into furniture). But usually I only have asthma, migraines and anxiety attacks. My asthma means that I can't be as active as I want, I do take preventatives and stuff but I can't run around. However I do keep fit through kickboxing and swimming. My migraines really limit me, once I get one and if my tablets don't work I have to go straight ot bed, I usually go blind, get numbness in the hand and face. They can last anyway from a few hours to a few days. I usually only get them in the winter but as we don't know what triggers them I can get them at any time. Anxiety attacks only limit me when I let them, I am seeing a pyschologist to overcome these
