Allyson, my right eye is very nearsighted, but my left is practically normal. Normally, I am not subject to motion sickness, though I've had bouts of vertigo. My ear infections have a simple cause, my Eustachian tubes are narrow, and swell shut when inflamed. I have been subject to fainting since I got my growth in my teens, though I've learned how to avoid this, which is one of the things some psychiatrists object to as catastrophizing. (I don't intend to change. Waking up in Emergency gets expensive.) I had two inguinal hernias repaired as a child.
I suspect many of the problems in ME/CFS are related to either dysautonomia or cardiac output.
Many of the problems we experience in mid-life or as adolescents resemble those seen in "normal" people as they age. Anyone who wants to extend not merely existence, but years in which people contribute to society, ought to be investigating the things which make us different.
