Bipolar disorder, I began with depression following my reconstructive surgery.
Back pains, I developed a mild case of Scoliosis from the muscle atrophy in my back.
Duane's Syndrome, one eye cannot look left. May or may not be related to Rombergs. Possible Raynaud's Syndrome also. Mother has this too.
During 2nd pregnancy, back, hip, knee and ankle problems that got so severe I was unable to walk and had to use a wheelchair for 1 month before and 1 month after childbirth. Since childbirth, my mobility has gradually been returning to normal. These problems were never formally diagnosed but could have been rheumatoid issues or SPD. Unclear whether related to PRS on not - I did not experience them during my 1st pregnancy, only during the 2nd one.
acid reflux, asthma, migraines, seizures, arthritis, loose joints,
Learning challenges, particularly with vocabulary and expressive language. Vision difficulty, as her left eye is deeper and lower than her right eye. This causes double vision, and probably also contributes to the migraine headaches. She is not a 'reader', and all of the above contribute to this. Her family is more into reading, so this is an unusual trait.
No sure which of her problems are related.
Progressive hearing loss, inflammation of cochlear nerve and depression are being treated.
asthma, sinus problems, slight hearing lose, eye movement problems, seizures, migraines, behavorial, arthritis
