I’ve had asthma all my life; had to be rushed to the hospital a couple of times during my youth. I may face thyroid cancer down the line. I have leg pain, difficulty breathing sometimes, which stems from pain right below where my heart is; sometimes I have pain where the prostate is, forcing me to stand up from sitting down.

And just now, my short term memory and typing are failing me. Like I’ve said, I’m not yet 30. Why am I facing problems those three times my age usually face?

When I was 37 my ability to concentrate took a leave of absence. That is part of my disability. My sensory processing as far as optic and auditory is dysfunctional and with it comes what is called sensory induced Myoclonic seizures. certain sounds or visual stimulation make my upper torso above the shoulders shake violently as frequent as several times a minute or on real good days once or twice.

My Inner Ears have been dysfunctional since birth and my legs and feet are distorted from that and club feet. IOW Arthritis has set in with it and I walk with a cane for balance. When the seizures first hit me so did PTSD from the accumulation of previous events and more I didn't mention like thing a baby died in a wreck I was involved in where a woman rear ended my old K-5 Blazer with a Honda. The baby slept through it. Before that our daughter was seriously injured in a wreck. I arrived on scene as the rescue squad was covering her body. I freaked thinking she died but it was so they could use the jaws of life to extract her. Her knee cap was destroyed though.

My ailments though disabling aren't as serious as yours but I do understand lack of concentration real well. In late 2011 I did my dads Hospice care in his final weeks and hours with Prostate Cancer. Doc says mine is enlarged and is to be watched at this point. I'm in my mid 50's now.

About 8 years ago I lost my immunity to Mold again. Going back on allergy shots was the answer. I have it under control that and the pollens but the attacks were like Asthma. In fact doctor thought I had both. Right now the shots and antihistamines keep it in check. Before that I was hitting the Albuterol a few times a day.. It took the shots a few months to finally give relief.
