My heart is bionic at this point. I’ve had 4 open heart surgeries, aorta and mitral valves are now titanium. It makes a ticking noise like a clock. I’m only 30. Hopefully I live longer

When I was born, none of my organs were in the places they should be.
Had 5 surgeries after birth to get everything moved around, and put to right places.
Luckily, no issues since.

My hair started losing its color when I was 10 years old. I used to be brunette. My hair has been completely silver and white since my 20s.

I was born with 1 Kidney. But my 1 Kidney is the size of 2 combined. So I have 1 super kidney.

In my 60s and I don’t have gray hair. It’s mousy brown, so when people insist I dyed it, I tell them I wouldn’t pay money for such a dull color.

When i was born my umbilical cord was inside out and it was the first time the hospital i was born at had ever seen anything like it. So they asked my mum if it could be sent to a nearby university to be shown to students in order to show them what the inside of one looks like in real life. I am going to that exact university next year and will be on a quest to take back my umbilical cord. (Provided its not been thrown away idk how long they last)

Whooo. This is a big one.
1. Abnormal bone density. I sink in fresh water(fun playing Terminator though). Been hit by cars 6 times in my life and all Ive ever gotten was bruises; every vehicle has needed body work.
2. I require at *minimum* twice the recommended dosage for a lot of medications. Not fun when cost is factored in or the potential for damage. My liver is that of a demigod.
3. Abnormal temperature response. I act like a stroke victim(according to my wife) at temps above 85, but I can sit in a snow drift in a t shirt and shorts and the snow drift melts before I get bothered. I can bare-hand dry ice for short periods without issue.
4. My eyes are too large for my head. The only reason I need glasses is because my eyes kept growing waaaay longer than they should have, since my skull had decided early on it was going to quality for membership in Neverbrokeabone
5. I somehow outgrew cilantro tasting like soap. 20 yrs of that, then all of a sudden ‘Naw my troll, you get to enjoy it again’
6. If you pop my right foot’s pinky toe, my entire leg twitches. Full ‘pull back shaking and twitching like I grabbed a 220v line.’ Every damn time.

I’m 21 and going through menopause! I hit puberty at the age of two, had a lot of hormonal issues growing up but my mother was resistant to getting me help so I’m the same height and weight I was in 5th grade some 11 years ago. I can also type with my toes and do simple origami with my feet like a ninja star or paper airplane which is a fun party trick.

I have a third boob. Never even knew it was there til my milk came in after giving birth, and suddenly there was this giant baseball-sized lump under my armpit. When I saw my lactation consultant, she said it’s a rare thing that can happen to some people. It has a teeny tiny nipple and even had milk coming out of it. I had to ice it for a week so it would stop producing milk.
Before anyone asks – no, I don’t have any pictures of it. I was super sleep deprived and recovering from a traumatic labor, so the last thing on my mind was taking a picture of my new accessory boob. I wish I had, though.

When I was born, the doctor said he “had never seen a baby with this much nose hair”. At 46 it is still my superpower.

When I was a kid I had such severe allergies to everything that even my medical allert bracelets made me break out in hives and being in the same room at peanuts would send me into anaphylaxis. I outgrew all of my allergies.

Two of my toes on each foot are webbed halfway. The index(?) and middle toe, each side. Nothing else.
I can’t swim any faster which I personally think is *b******t*.

I can taste when I’m sick and I can smell when others are too.

I have a rare condition in which my large intestine is smashed over to one side of my torso and my small intestines are smashed over to the other side. The only reason we discovered it is that one day, they decided to physically switch places causing extreme pain.
They have switched places a total of four times in my life. It’s really painful and kinda gross hearing your goopy bits flop around inside of you.

My sweat is extra acidic. I can fully rust guitar strings in a week or 2, and have eaten holes on 2 laptops where I rest my hands, both happened within a year of use

My big toes are almost twice the size of normal big toes. They’re so wide that I can stand only on my big toes without it hurting. I’m told my feet look more like paws than human feet.
edit: no I’m not posting feet pics

Every spring and autumn, my palm sheds its upper skin. There is no exposed lower layers, I just literally regenerate and dispose of my palm skin like a snake. Doesnt hurt, doesnt bleed. It just happens.

I am biologically and male presenting, but I’ve got huge tits. Like stage 4 gynecomastia. I’ve had them basically my entire life, and they’ve never been affected by my changes in weight. Doctors have confirmed they are legitimately breast tissue.
I always hated them, made highschool a living hell. But now I’m a grown adult, I identify as non-binary so I no longer feel bad about not having a “masculine” chest.
I consider getting rid of them every so often but I legitimately wouldn’t know what life would be like without them and I feel I’d look inproportionate without them.

The heart inside of me isn’t mine. And that I was on life support that caused nerve damage in my leg so I don’t get goose bumps on my left thigh.

When I was a baby I got a vaccine in my a*s cheek and it got infected. It was left alone so long that it got infected all the way down my muscle on everything the needle touched. They had to cut it out and for a couple of years I didnt have an a*s cheek, then my a*s grew in alright and now it just looks like I have a dimple. It’s by my hip so it doesn’t look weird and everyone that’s seen it has said it adds character lol but to me it’s just a crater on my a*s and theres no muscle there and if I touch the middle it still hurts

My stomach is 1/10 the size it should be. I’m a cheap date because I can get drunk off nothing and it’s nearly impossible for me to overdrink.

I sweat on the left side of my head when I even think about spicy foods. The worst part is I love spicy food.

My torso is longer than it should be in comparison to my legs. Like, my legs stopped growing before my upper body did or something.

I have pectus excavatum and was born with a 3rd ear on my cheek.
The 3rd ear was removed with plastic surgery when I was a child but now I have a patch on my cheek that can’t grow facial hair.

I have one ear that’s a carbon copy of my father’s (left ear), and the other my mother’s. Thus, one is slightly longer and significantly harder(cartilage).

I have microtia type 2 in both ears which makes them look like elf/orc ears. Also deaf in my left ear thanks to this.
Funny thing is, until I was like 15 years old, I did not know that I was deaf in one ear. Which was surprising to me but the doc said it is because you are so used to hearing from one ear that you do not feel the difference until a point. I just thought my left ear was obstructed with something.

Small hole at the base of my spine just before my a*s hole
To clarify I’m not talking about the actual a*****e it’s self I’m talking about a small hole a inch above it
It’s not a cyst I was born with it

I have a large facial scar, literally just like Scar from the Lion King. My hair and beard just make it worse. Sucks meeting new people, especially kids.
