I think I'm some sort of physiological freak.

I look reasonably normal, and don't have any spectacular ailments, but almost every doctor / medical specialist / alternative medicine practitioner says to me "now, THAT'S interesting, I've never seen this before".

I saw an Chinese traditional doctor once, and she looked at my tongue and listened to my pulse, looked alarmed and shouted "oh dear! I don't think I can help you!" The next two I saw did the same thing. As well as the Tibetan (medical) lama. I think I'm a hopeless case.

I didn't sweat - not even in saunas - for the first 35 years of my life, and had no body odour.

I appear to have a recurring stigmata on my right hand, but have never had religion of any sort.

I have a distinct and detailed memory of a episode of a few minutes from when I was still in my mother's womb.

Be greatful you don't have Ed Zachary disease.

Keep it quiet, sandypossum...they might nail you to a cross.

Anemia?

Alas, "freak" but not "special". Not even sure I don't have Ed Zachary, foot!

No worries about crucifixion, Bruce - I also have an unbelievably low pain threshold (I've come out of general anaesthetics screaming and have bitten and kicked several doctors - sort of in a spasm, not deliberately - esp my heroic dentist) so shortly after nailing me they'd shoot me to shut me up.

footfootfoot · 07-09-2006, 11:57 AM

No, even though you are pretty darn close to the camera, I can tell that you haven't got Ed Z disease.

I am terribly female....yet drink the pickle juice out of the jar when the pickles are gone. It's delightfully refreshing!

I sip the leftover olive oil from the sardine can after I eat them, too.

Had no problems with my blood, Jebediah, (and I was a regular blood donor) until I began sweating about 10 years ago. A few years AFTER that started I became slightly anaemic. I have a constant battle keeping my iron up. I've also developed a mysterious bleeding disorder - almost bled to death twice, after two minor day surgery ops, and am seeing Melbourne's top haematologist, who, two years down the line still has no idea what it is. All tests come out normal. It's not ALL bleeding, just these two ops and WHOOOOOSH! I exploded blood all over an emergency room at one point. Quite spectacular.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 12:33 PM

One time, I scratched a small pinhead-sized red spot on my arm.

I bled profusely (well, as profusely as possible from a hole the size of a pinprick) for two hours.

WabUfvot5 · 07-10-2006, 02:36 PM

Crazy. I've had my share of bleeding problems (one similar to you too Ibram) and I'm glad it's in the past.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 02:50 PM

Eh, it didnt really bother me. I was at the mall, hanging at the fountain just outside it with my girlfriend, my friend savannah, and two of her friends, and i started bleeding and i was like 'shit', but it didnt bother me at all, until i realized it was dripping down my arm and getting all over the place. I had to get savannah and her friends to rush back and forth, in and out of starbucks, to get me napkins. One of savannah's friends had a band-aid in her purse, but within about fifteen seconds of me putting it on, it was soaked completely through and dripping again. I still didnt really care, but my girlfriend was totally freaking out.

skysidhe · 11-12-2006, 06:54 PM

yuk ...you must have hit a blood vessel.

Ibby · 11-12-2006, 09:14 PM

delayed much?

Pangloss62 · 11-12-2006, 10:15 PM

...to blood.

Yeah man, I have one of those things on my arm. Just a little nubby raised thing that I scratch now and again, and like you, it bleeds and bleeds.
