I have a few, most of them relatively mild right now though I fear they'll get worse as I age.
I have polycystic ovarian disorder which generally isn't a big deal apart from the fact that it's given me insulin resistance which will soon turn into diabetes. I take medication for it and I'm attempting to lose weight and be healthier to put it off but I will end up getting it soon. Obviously, any other issues with having high blood sugar levels come into play... It's rather worrying for me but right now it's not too bad. The only other issue I have are things linked to self-image (makes it harder to lose weight, I have more body hair than I should, growing up was a bitch when you're a giant compared to most people, etc.).
I also slipped a disc when I was fourteen or so which has given me issues with my back on and off. Sometimes I can pinpoint what set it off, other times I can't. When it happens, anything apart from lying down is horribly painful. I'm thinking of getting a cane so it's easier for me to do things like moving around when it hurts that badly. And, in addition, I've now developed sciatica... Right when winter is setting in too

The cold makes my leg hurt so bad I want to chop it off. It now takes me about 30 minutes to walk to a location when before it was less than 10.
In addition, I also have migraines and photophobia. I more or less always have a headache. It just never goes away. My migraines are atypical so it was only about a year ago that I found out my "light headaches" (they were almost always caused by light) were actually migraines. Got scanned, found nothing wrong with my brain (yay) and since hiding in the dark and taking OTC painkillers was working, it's what I do when I get bad headaches. I usually just ignore the ones I always have since I've grown so used to them. My photophobia, though, is a bitch. It's difficult for me to watch movies because my eyes hurt so much I have to close them for a minute or more every time scenes change from dark to light. It's never really been looked into but I'm speculating (wildly) that maybe I have difficulty contracting my pupils.
Apart from that, I have carpal tunnel syndrome but that flares up only occasionally and anaemia that doesn't want to go away.
I'd say my psychological problems are possibly more damaging... I've been to several therapists and no one diagnosis was given... but everything leans towards anxiety, paranoia, and depression. I am not on any medications for it though my current therapist is thinking he may want to put me on some. I have bad experiences with them (they make me sleep and suck any remaining enjoyment out of my life) so I'm going to try to convince him otherwise. Right now, I'm worried that I won't be able to overcome it enough to get my degree but... I dunno, I just have a feeling things are going to be okay this time around (this is the third time I'm going to university).
