- Puberty:
-
Puberty happens to everyone, but it does not happen at the same age, or same speed for everyone. Some people begin puberty and body changes as early as 10, while other people do not experience it until 14 or later. Everyone is different and no two people will develop at the same time or same speed.
The first sign of change was hair on my chest at age 37. Looks like someone is a late bloomer. There are other signs.
Childhood Disease and Infections.
- Childhood Allergies? Check. Initial allergy attack occurred circa 2001 or so.
- Cavities? Check, check, and check. Had a handful fixed a few months back.
- Diarrhea? YES. I’ll keep the gory details to myself.
- Pink Eye and Conjunctivitis? YES! Not fun at all.
- Ear Infections. Maybe. Thanks to my latest cold. Going to let the local butchers take a look at my ear today. Thanks to CW for pointing out that pain in ear == ear infection. My first thought was, “Don’t kids get ear infections?”
I guess kids do.
It only goes to show that you’re as old as you think you are…
Me? I’m creeping up on 18… for the 15th year in a row.
Okay, the diagnosis is ….. Tonsillitis. Not the oh-they-have-to-come-out kind of tonsillitis, but the here-take-these-drugs-and-you-will-feel-better type of tonsillitis. Let us find out about tonsillitis from a non-wikipedia entry. I know, scary.
