Cervical dystonia and know one has ever heard of it I think they said 1 in every 500,000 have it., it's a real pain in the **** keeps my head cocked to the right and muscle spasms so strong it feels like my head is going to rip itself off.the meds work to help it but really fu%%s me up and has a boat load of bad side effects. They also shoot botox into the muscles of my neck once every 3mo. The meds effect everything from my memory to my eyesight and typing. But I manage to ride I've managed to put down a good number of miles this year. Here is the common scenario, sittin on a bar stool kicking back some cans guy and his o'lady walk in sit to the right of me, whole time they sit there it looks like i'm staring at her. Gods humor is something else. Thank God for friends in low places, keeps me out of trouble.

Well, right now I have blood in my vitreous gel sack in my left eye, making it worse than being blind...just a huge blur and glare in the left eye with floaters all over the place. Makes riding/driving/focusing on anything miserable, but my buddy who has one eye and rides everywhere always tells me to man up and use the force.
Actually, as I type this, I am at a retinal specialist having it checked for the 3000th time. Hard to see HDF on an iPhone with my eyes dialated like a tweaker.
Eventually I will have to have a guage victrectomy...YouTube that surgery. It is pure evil and I am thus far convinced I would rather die.

My left leg has been amputated below the knee. Does that qualify as a ailment?

Spondylolisthesis, misaligned vertebra due to an accident that turned my L5 and L4 vertebra into lots of little pieces. Doesn't really give me much problems unless I ride more than 3-4 hours without a break.
