I have priapism.

Really or are you trying to be funny. Cause I hear that can be painful.

Well, not really, but those erection pill commercials got me thinking, why did they draw the line at 4 hours? :D
cause 3 out of 4 priapism sufferers said that was when it went from fun to fvck-that-hurts!

Well I can tell you how we treat priapism...it aint pretty

Oh and it's dangerous after 4 hours cuz you can get a clot in your *ahem* and either throw the clot which could cause a stroke or heart attack or the clot could cut off blood flow to your *ahem* and make surgical removal necessary if they dont remove the clot in time...

I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kif?

*sigh* Sexlexia

On a more serious note I do have a couple problems, I get very depressed sometimes, do extremely antisocial things often (though a lot of my friends are like that so they think its funny)... been off and on a variety of antidepressants and other pills.

Anti-depressants only mask the problem, they don't fix it.

I'm in remission of Cancer. So I don't know if I can actually say "I have cancer", however it still affects me in the sense that I have to be under survailance for the next 10 years, and the fact that it could possibly show its ugly head again.

Yeah I know, but I will probably be on them for the long term, long family history of mental disorder.

Funny enough, I am allergic to peanuts and wheat. But I eat a PB sandwich every single day for lunch.

no shyt... you've got marfan's?

i don't have it or anything, but i learned all about it last trimester in radiology

Yep. My mom is on disability because of it. I pretty much hurt all the time, but I'm no pill-popper. I only take ibuprofen if I really need it, like last night. I don't know much about it, but I can only assume that some of my pains are a direct result of it, like my knee hurting real bad when going to the theater.
