- hypothyroidism
- hypermobility syndrome
- hayfever
- recurrent depressive disorder
- partial rupture of the achilles tendon
This is my current list of conditions. There may be others of which I unaware, and with a list like this, I am happy to remain oblivious at the moment.
Is my list abnormally long? I don't think so. People I have met through support forums also seem to have more than one condition. And you may think that this phenomenon of a bundle of conditions is a recent one, but in the past people did not talk so much about their health, and the technology was not available for anyone wishing to do so.
Which came first?
For me it was the hypermobility syndrome while I was at secondary school. Then hayfever at university. The depression and hypothyroidism was a couple of years ago, though the former was probably there for much longer. And last year I injured the achilles tendon.
