SO........

Ignoring the fact that it was February when we last discussed this :rolleyes: here's a question that we need a list for to make a poll.

What physical ailments would you attribute to your sexual abuse ?

Now I know this is going to be a 'rough and ready' affair with no real accuracy but many of us seem to have strange or uncommon ailments and it might just make us aware that others share them and we might be able to gain some help.

So for now all I need is a list of ailments, if it's something that's uncommon then add a BRIEF de>

Kind of a hard question to answer as I might even be able to tie "foot fungus" to abuse in some ways.

With this in mind...

1. Syphillis
2. Gonorrhea
3. NGU
4. Staphlococcus Aureus
5. Bicycle substance abuse (That is to say, I never stick with one substance. Cigs, drugs, sex, alchohol esp.)
6. Physical self-abuse (At my worst times, slapping myself around. I really know how to hate/berate myself.)

Most of mine "physically" have been through sexual acting out over the years.

I am just thankful not HIV so far though it hasn't been for lack of trying. That's one of the things I think that has brought me here. I'm not as they say 'poz' yet. Don't want to be since I've seen/know what it means. I feel like for some reason, that is why I haven't sero-converted. But time does run out. I really need to work through all this before I let that happen.
