What medical conditions do you have? How old were your parents when you were born?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to investigate the relationship between medical conditions (of all kinds) and maternal/paternal age.
What medical conditions do you have? When I refer to 'medical conditions', I mean absolutely anything that can go wrong with the human body (to an extent). This refers to: conditions, disabilities, malformations, diseases, illnesses - ANYTHING!
How old were both of your parents when you were born?
Additionally, do you know anything about the relationship between medical conditions and maternal/paternal age?
Thank you!

I have dry eyes syndrome and a short lingual frenulum.
I got both the eye sensitivity and short tongue frenulum from my dad. He had constant eye infections (pink eye) and was also born with a short frenulum which caused no speech problems to him or me.
My mother was 27 and my father 28 when I was born.

I have had a staph infection I have not been able to get rid of since January and was born with poor eyesight, other than that there are no other conditions.
My sister has problems since being run over by a car as a teenager and has IBS.
Our parents were 18 and 21 when I was born, 20 and 23 when my sister was born.

I have something called "Livedo reticularis", a disorder which means I have really mottled skin-literally my skin will go purple and blotchy when I am a little bit cold. It can be a condition on it’s own or can be due to some other disorder that could be serious, but I haven’t found out if it’s to do with anything else or not. It’s something to do with how the blood is, poor circulation or something.
My parents were way old when they had me-41 and 50.
