Are there any disabled people on here? I asked this thread about a year ago but I am curious to see.

I am. I have hearing aids, rotational nystagmus (My eyeballs rotate slightly. Its not thatnoticeableunless you look at my eyes closely. And yes the idea of it does gross me out :P) and hypermobility. My hypermobility means my joints pop and dislocate easily.

All of these minor things lead up to a pain. I find I often mishear things.The combination of my eyes and ears mean my balance is not the best. The combination of my eyes and my ears and partly my joints also lead to bad hand-eye coordination. My joints mean when I try and do running and throwing and things they just click and pop and its not painfull but a bit discomforting. This also leads to me being godawfulat P.E :p

TL DR I have hearing aids and other *****.

I have no disability, the only health problem I have is asthma which isn't always that bad but can be nasty at its worst.

I have really bad eyesight, like -8.0 in both eyes and i cant wear contacts because i have a bad astigmatism in both eyes but i dont know if that really counts :S
I had to have grommets when I was younger because I had "glue ear" but it's all cleared up now :)

Like jessie, I had to have grommets in my ears when I was younger. The only thing I have at the moment is the inability to breathe through my nose... "well". Basically, the joint/bone that does down the middle of my nose is bent (INSIDE. My nose looks normal on the outside) and I can't breathe through 1 side well nor the other for some reason xL

Tried having an operation to fix it. It didn't help though lmfao. It doesn't really affect me that much - it just makes me a "heavy breather" when around people - nd some find it annoying, others adjust to it.

I have nothing that would make me class as disabled.

I had something like you Sophie when I was a little younger when my bones use to click out of place and I always cried and had to go hospital to sort it out. It's not nice! But I haven't really got a disability now.

Erm, i have flat feet. Where you don't have an arch in your feet and can lead to you walking inwards. However this was sorted at a young age and is not as bad now. I do have trouble doing hurdles at school and sport. Apart from that, that's all i have.

I'm not disabled, I remember once when I was younger I had to go to hospital because the doctor said I had a heart murmur, wasn't though.
