At age 27 it seems like my body is hanging on by a thread. What ails me?


  • L5 Vertebrae – My stress fracture from almost 7 years ago still lingers. I fully expect this slip one day and kill me.
  • Right middle finger – It’s somehow infected (or so my doctor friends say). This would be a problem in the bedroom if you know what I mean but fortunately I’m not getting any lately so it’s fine.
  • Left wrist Eczema – I think it’s from my watch rubbing on my skin while running so I just keep scratching it.
  • Extra teeth – I’m just waiting until they strike a nerve and paralyze the left side of my face forever.
  • Eyes after LASIK – A whole post will be dedicated to this but my 104 week warranty was poorly timed as on week 105 my right eye got slightly blurry.
  • Right Leg – I had an MRI saying no damage but it’s a constant battle of ‘how much can I run before this ruins everything?‘.
  • Right Achilles – It’s sore almost all the time and doesn’t warm up until a mile or two into every run.
  • Melon’s attacks – This is ongoing and I’m not sure if this is preventable.
  • Worse hangovers – If I even sniff hard alcohol there’s a 50/50 chance I throw up the next morning.

Someone tell me this is just temporary, right?

This can’t be my state of existence (or worse) for the rest of my life, right?
