Body of an 85-year-old
I hope this counts, may be slightly off-topic but I feel slightly bitter about the fact that I seem to be aging prematurely...

My father is 51. He doesn't smoke, and hardly ever drinks. He rides his bicycle and walks to work weekly. He used to play football in his twenties, and did well in sport at school. He wears glasses for reading and close-up work. He has only ever broken a bone once, when he fractured his arm (so it wasn't even a proper break).

I am 19. I don't smoke, and hardly ever drink. I get out for exercise at least twice a week. Despite this...

I was born with a dislocated hip. I had no less than five ear infections in my first two years. In middle school, I suffered with several kidney infections. At age 13 I was told I'd never have kids (thankfully sorted out now). I had to have physiotherapy at 14 because my muscles grew and my bones didn't (paaaaaainful). In my early teens, I started to faint and have fits (this still goes on). I have broken my fingers, my toes, and chipped a piece of bone from my chin. I have had an operation to remove intestinal stones that failed, leaving me to pass the stones.

To cap it all, I am now currently sat up in bed, off work with a slipped disc. I will say this again: I am 19. My parents are in their 50s and in the prime of health.

Serously, what's up with that?

Start smoking and drinking.
It's clearly the cure.

But I can't
I'm a laaaaady.

Well, I could, but I can't afford the op.

I agree, it works.
And if you only drink vodka and smoke Marlboro Reds you'll get mutant-like healing abilities.

^^ what Kaol said.
It sounds like you're having a shit time so you may as well get wasted (in the nicest possible way...)
Get well soon...

things might improve
When I was your age I was told that by 30 I'd have crippling arthritis in my spine and by 40 be in a wheelchair.

I'm 29 this year and no sign of it yet!

*keeps fingers crossed*
