My eyes. One droops, seems to be a paternal side issue. I'm looking into eye surgery but it's expensive.

Head to Toe

"Hair on every inch of my body except for the top of my head."

elgatogordo19

"Me too... And I'm a lady. Thankfully, due to the wonders of laser hair removal, no one can tell anymore that I used to look like the love child of a yeti and cousin It."

LilPeaHen

Drenched

"Excessive sweating."

mrzpzp

"Same and the treatments are considered cosmetic where I live. I just want to sweat a normal amount and not have to change my clothes multiple times a day like a normal person. lol"

Kyubey4Ever

"Same! My mom could stand in the sun for 2 hours not breaking a sweat while I will be drenched when the temperature rise by one f**king degree so thanks dad."

Scars of the past...

"Severe acne when I was a teen that left behind scars."

DeathSpiral321

"Acne that forgot to leave with the rest of puberty is also not fun. I have the scars AND I have the angry zits that like to crop up along my bra line. At least at this point, my face is taking the least of it and I don't have deep pockmarks or scarring there. But I don't wear plunging necklines because my chest is a mixture of new and old scars."

Brush Away

"Teeth. I brush using an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes twice a day using prescription toothpaste, I floss twice a day, I've had braces and I floss under the permanent retainers once a day, I wear my night retainer every night and clean it every morning, have a dedicated tongue brusher and scraper that I use as needed, I go to the dentist twice a year and get fluoride treatments, I don't drink soda or eat excessive sugar, and I still have cavities."

"I had to get a root canal that ended up failing (missed by the guy who did the root canal and 3 separate dentists) and when the cap eventually rotted off I had to get an implant which got infected, then got infected again, then was deemed chronically infected and had to be removed. Now my wisdom teeth are acting up and need to be removed. I am so f**king sick of putting in so much time, energy, and money to be below par with most of the rest of the world I'm only 33 ;_;"

Bad Breed

"My parents met in their 20s, bonded over how they both have sh**ty circulation and everyone in their families has crappy circulation, and were like ‘I know, let’s breed!’. Went as you’d expect."

cateml

Bad circulation sucks. People don't understand the issues it causes. All of these can be difficult to deal with.

Bad Moves

"Dad has IBS-D, mom has IBS-C. My GI said you’d think they’d meet somewhere in the middle and give you regular bowel movements. Sadly not, I’m also a C."

Torshii

Issues of the Mind

"Likely Alzheimer's. Both grandmas had it, my mom has it, and I'm in my early fifties and starting to feel the beginning of decline. Frankly, I'm scared sh**less."

f_leaver

"I'm in the same boat, 2 generations in my family are diagnosed with it on my mother and father's side. Lucky me it's was late in life for both sides of the family, but I've always had notoriously bad luck so we'll see. If you haven't already, I'd definitely suggest seeing a neurologist sooner rather than later."

Taz447

It's gone...

"Hair loss."

Girlinda7

"Me too, but it's not a full bald. It's much thinner hair by my crown and down the middle of the top of my head. There's still hair there, but if you look at my head from above you can see that the hair there is much sparser."

potatoluIz

"My wife says it not a big deal but I always tell her she would be freaking out if she started to lose her hair too. Hair means just as much to men as it does to women. Confidence killer."

YM1979

Painful Endings

"I'm slowly going blind from RP. Thanks mom. My spinal discs are deflating and pinching off my nerves, Thanks dad."

ruzzerboo

"My son has RP as well. He is blind and uses a cane. He has a good government job, is married with two children. There is no cure but maybe someday. They are always working on trying to find a way to fix the retinal cells that are dying. It will happen but I am not sure if it will be this century."

LazyBox2303

Evolution

"Half of my face has my mom's bone structure, the other half my dad. Come on, evolution, I thought this was all about symmetry. OH and they both have addictive personalities which makes substance abuse almost instinctive. Luckily I was a pothead instead of an alcoholic or pill popper. We’re all doing better now LMAO!"

vashonnn

Form the start...

"Hard to tell what was shi**y genetics and what was a result of my mother smoking like a chimney throughout the pregnancy."

TirayShell

"Same. And she recently admitted she drank 2 beers a day as well with me so that's cool. It's a miracle that I'm a functional human."

pennylane3339

Generations

"It's alcoholics all the way down."

faceeatingleopard

"Alcoholism going back multiple generations on both sides of my family. So well documented that one of my great grandfathers was written about in The NY Times back in his day, for a few of his drunk antics. My mother got dementia from alcohol-related brain damage before 45. I just don’t drink at all, I know it’s there waiting for me."

amarg19

barely function

"The gift of over thinking (anxiety)."

Username-xxx

"I feel your pain. It takes a lot for me just trying to function since covid. Social media/news organizations don't help at all."

"Half the population is becoming desensitized, emotionless, and seriously lacking any empathy while the other half can barely function due to the stress of the state of world politics/job market/just trying to survive. The world was not like this 20 years ago, though the signs were there and were being ignored. I want a restart."

CocoScruff

The Slip

"My back went out in my 20s, and wasn't getting better. After a while I couldn't stand up straight, and had to get it scanned. The found the channel in my spine that the nerve goes through is 1/4 the size of most people's, so the very minor disc slip I'd had became a major problem."

"They wound up having to carve that channel (dunno what it's called, sorry) wider. Instant relief, but I now have a pretty weak back that's prone to going out. I recover with rest, now, thank goodness, whereas before I wouldn't. Anyway, that's probably my worst thing, genetically speaking. Bad spine."

Coygon

Blow Ups

"Anger. My father gets angry and used to get violent and even beat up my mom and us kids. My first reaction for anything is anger but over the years I've tried to control my anger as much as possible and I'd say I'm doing a much better job than before."

peoplecallmedude797

Everything

"Being unusually hairy, oily, and large framed for a woman. It's a thing with my family, none of the women in it are exactly the picture of traditional feminine beauty. I have to wear guy's sizes in shoes because my feet are too wide for most women's shoes."

alufangirl1993

Life sucker punches everyone...

"A very rare recessive progressive genetic disorder. I'm a carrier. My wife also is a carrier. Incidence of being a carrier is over 1 in 1,000,000. Unfortunately for our kids, they have a 1/2 chance of being carriers, 1/4 chance that they won't, and 1/4 chance that they'll inherit the double recessive gene and manifest the disorder. 2 out of our 4 kids have manifested the disorder and their life expectancy is 10-12 years. Life sucker punches everyone."

mbstone

It's all a mess...

"Short, acne, small boobs, crooked teeth and underdeveloped/too far back jaw (they got mostly fixed with braces), thin hair, mental illness, scoliosis, tiny toes (what the f**k is up with that, I get too many comments about my baby feet) Can't think of anything else a the moment. It's like I won the reverse genetic bingo. If this was medieval times I would definitely be the repulsive town witch."

amputatedsnek

Well, we are who we are, for better or worse. Let's make the most of it.
