What is different?

Okay, I'm curious to know what about you is completely different from everyone around you. Be creative and share! I'll share one of mine....


Salt burns off my taste buds. If I eat chips or something salty, I'm screwed. I ate a handful of Munchies a few years ago and every single one of my taste buds were gone! No lie. By the way, did you know that your tongue is actually purple underneath? Freaked out hubby and his friend and family with it, lol. I've never met anyone who has the same problem.

wow Ista. I feel for you , I would hate not having my salt , I salt everything and with alot of it. I know I will have to cut that out for health issues someday but it is sooo good.

I really dont think there is something totally diff about me than anyone else. I guess I am not unique....

If I come up with something I will let you know.

Can i come over for dinner please?

Oh, that must be tough not being able to eat salt

My unique thing (at least for anyone I know or have ever met) is that I have sarcoidosis. It an autoimmune disease that causes my immune system to attack my own body, organs, tissue, etc. I've had it for 5 yrs. and have never met anyone else who has it also.

That's awful- you poor thing! I used to talk to a women in California whose body suddenly decided her liver was a foreign body. Her life has pretty much been a mess ever since.

Wow guys, sorry to hear all of that; that is some serious and bad stuff. Ista you and I would do well together, I am not supposed to have much salt due to Hypertension. Other than that, one rareity I have is an allergy to catepillars. I have never met another person who had that. It seems some of them produce a chemical to keep birds away and it is that chemical that I am allergic to. Just my luck...LOL

Yeah, imagine my poor parents as I was very little and always playing with them like any other child. They had to keep prescription medication on hand at all times. Sad really! LOL

WOW i can't think of anything right now that makes me different.

Now I freak out when a catepillar gets close to me. I think they are cute, but I can't even touch an area they have just been on, I will still break out with contact allergy; it's awful what my body does if I do. My bf is good for that though, he will remove any caterpillars I see around the house, he just puts them somewhere else on someone else's property - trees or plants and I just make sure to avoid the area they were for a day.

My daughter has ezcema. if she drinks citrus drinks like orange juice she gets very dry and slight bit of pimples behind her knees and by her elbows. And what is really weird is as far back as hubby and i can think no one on either side of our famlies every had that. So i may not be different, But my daughter is

That is great Ista People who see u for who u truly are are rare 2 com by.
Oh shes only 5 right now so they doctor say it make get better as she gets older or it may get worse when she is older. Shes had it since she was about 1 yrs old.

wow dream I have never heard of anything like that before. How did they figure out that was what cause your reactions?
