Publish Not your original work? Add source Whether we like our family tree or not, it's something we belong to and there's nothing we can do about it. Although every family has its strengths and weaknesses, some people feel like they were not that lucky in the gene lottery. "Which shitty genetics did you inherit?" someone posed a bold question on Ask Reddit, and many people took it as an opportunity to confess some of the traits they're neither happy nor proud about. From baldness and anxiety to poor eyesight and acne, many of these genetic traits will hit very close to home, but remember that whatever it is, we're all beautiful in our own way.

Both gamma's had it, my mom has it and I'm in my early fifties and starting to feel the beginning of decline.
Frankly, I'm scared s***less. f_leaver , Sora Shimazaki Report 248points POST Sam Dodd Sam Dodd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 days ago I think we all worry to some extent, my aunt and uncle were both diagnosed in the same year. Remember to remain both mentally and physically active and socially interactive. A lot of new research points to the gut and dietary issues. My Dad kept a daily journal, learnt a new language, walked an hour every day and swam all in his last 5 years. He enjoyed those last years even though he knew he had a terminal illness.His philosophy was he knew it was coming but he was determined to fill each day. A new hobby, learn something new, keep active, engage with people and embrace life. Wishing you good health and a positive future 101 101points reply View More Replies...

Unfortunately for our kids, they have a 1/2 chance of being carriers, 1/4 chance that they won't, and 1/4 chance that they'll inherit the double recessive gene and manifest the disorder. 2 out of our 4 kids have manifested the disorder and their life expectancy is 10-12 years.

I brush using an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes twice a day using prescription toothpaste, I floss twice a day, I've had braces and I floss under the permanent retainers once a day, I wear my night retainer every night and clean it every morning, have a dedicated tongue brusher and scraper that I use as needed, I go to the dentist twice a year and get fluoride treatments, I don't drink soda or eat excessive sugar, and I still have cavities.
I had to get a root canal that ended up failing (missed by the guy who did the root canal and 3 separate dentists) and when the cap eventually rotted off I had to get an implant which got infected, then got infected again, then was deemed chronically infected and had to be removed.
Now my wisdom teeth are acting up and need to be removed.
I am so f*****g sick of putting in so much time, energy, and money to be *below par* with most of the rest of the world
I'm only 33 NeedsItRough , Caroline LM Report 168points POST JJ JJ Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 days ago All the pain comes on top. I can relate so well to this. I also had too many teeth on one side, and one less on the other which made my braces-time (5 years) even more painful (and also is the root of my chronic headaches now). The last root-canal-treatment meant one appointment per one to two weeks for half a year (!), two antibiotics and one infection also affected my sinuses. Luckily I have a great dentist and live in a country where public health covers the costs (except for fillings). Still it sucks. 24 24points reply View more comments #4 My parents met in their 20s, bonded over how they both have shitty circulation and everyone in their families has shitty circulation, and were like ‘I know, let’s breed!’.

After a while I couldn't stand up straight, and had to get it scanned. The found the channel in my spine that the nerve goes through is 1/4 the size of most people's, so the very minor disc slip I'd had became a major problem. They wound up having to carve that channel (dunno what it's called, sorry) wider. Instant relief, but I now have a pretty weak back that's prone to going out. I recover with rest, now, thank goodness, whereas before I wouldn't.

Then I can't move my leg (actually my whole body hip down) until it's back in. That's pain you don't want to have. This happend once and I was in so much pain they had to call an ambulance.

30 Times People Lost The Gene Lottery According To This Viral Thread
Liucija Adomaite andIeva Pečiulytė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Whether we like our family tree or not, it's something we belong to and there's nothing we can do about it. Although every family has its strengths and weaknesses, some people feel like they were not that lucky in the gene lottery. "Which shitty genetics did you inherit?" someone posed a bold question on Ask Reddit, and many people took it as an opportunity to confess some of the traits they're neither happy nor proud about. From baldness and anxiety to poor eyesight and acne, many of these genetic traits will hit very close to home, but remember that whatever it is, we're all beautiful in our own way. This post may include affiliate links. #1 Likely Alzheimer's.
Both gamma's had it, my mom has it and I'm in my early fifties and starting to feel the beginning of decline.
Frankly, I'm scared s***less. f_leaver , Sora Shimazaki Report 248points POST Sam Dodd Sam Dodd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 days ago I think we all worry to some extent, my aunt and uncle were both diagnosed in the same year. Remember to remain both mentally and physically active and socially interactive. A lot of new research points to the gut and dietary issues. My Dad kept a daily journal, learnt a new language, walked an hour every day and swam all in his last 5 years. He enjoyed those last years even though he knew he had a terminal illness.His philosophy was he knew it was coming but he was determined to fill each day. A new hobby, learn something new, keep active, engage with people and embrace life. Wishing you good health and a positive future 101 101points reply View More Replies...

Unfortunately for our kids, they have a 1/2 chance of being carriers, 1/4 chance that they won't, and 1/4 chance that they'll inherit the double recessive gene and manifest the disorder. 2 out of our 4 kids have manifested the disorder and their life expectancy is 10-12 years.

I brush using an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes twice a day using prescription toothpaste, I floss twice a day, I've had braces and I floss under the permanent retainers once a day, I wear my night retainer every night and clean it every morning, have a dedicated tongue brusher and scraper that I use as needed, I go to the dentist twice a year and get fluoride treatments, I don't drink soda or eat excessive sugar, and I still have cavities.
I had to get a root canal that ended up failing (missed by the guy who did the root canal and 3 separate dentists) and when the cap eventually rotted off I had to get an implant which got infected, then got infected again, then was deemed chronically infected and had to be removed.
Now my wisdom teeth are acting up and need to be removed.
I am so f*****g sick of putting in so much time, energy, and money to be *below par* with most of the rest of the world
I'm only 33 NeedsItRough , Caroline LM Report 168points POST JJ JJ Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 days ago All the pain comes on top. I can relate so well to this. I also had too many teeth on one side, and one less on the other which made my braces-time (5 years) even more painful (and also is the root of my chronic headaches now). The last root-canal-treatment meant one appointment per one to two weeks for half a year (!), two antibiotics and one infection also affected my sinuses. Luckily I have a great dentist and live in a country where public health covers the costs (except for fillings). Still it sucks. 24 24points reply View more comments #4 My parents met in their 20s, bonded over how they both have shitty circulation and everyone in their families has shitty circulation, and were like ‘I know, let’s breed!’.

In our case, the lateral ligaments of the patella are too long, which means that my kneecap can pop out if I make the wrong movements.

Then I can't move my leg (actually my whole body hip down) until it's back in. That's pain you don't want to have. This happend once and I was in so much pain they had to call an ambulance.

I take more pills every day then I care to think about. But ya know what? I'm happy. Other then joint pain... in EVERY joint.... I'm remarkably healthy. And I'm lucky to have the means to treat my issues. Life could be so much worse. Perspective is everything. 7 7points reply Summer Mason Summer Mason Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago My little brother died from ewwing sarcoma at age 20. We didn't share the same dad, but his father was a war vet and was exposed to agent orange and it caused a genetic defect in my brother causing one of the more rare cancers. It was pretty bad in the end. He was in huge amounts of pain but would hide it. I'm sorry your experiencing effects from agent orange. You have a great outlook on life! 2 2points reply Load More Replies... witchling witchling Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago I'm so sorry to hear that.
