When I was 22, I had this horrible psoriasis outbreak. It was all over my legs, I couldn't walk because my legs were cracked and bleeding. Weird things like that can happen to your body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was 18, I broke my leg, and my shin came right through - like I had two knees.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and I'm sensitive.
When I was 22, I thought I couldn't wear heels because of my height.
When I was a child I had something called Perthes' Disease which meant I was on crutches, so I was bullied at school and all that sort of stuff.
I knew that my hair was falling out and I had really weird skin. My face looked really weird and I was getting this fuzz on my face and I was always cold - always to the point of uncontrollably shaking. I was more scared that 85 lbs. wasn't good enough. I wanted to be lower.
The biggest tragedy I had was the loss of my daughter from neuromuscular disease in 2000, at age 46.
I almost had to have my leg amputated because of an infection.
I went through a lot of changes and a period of depression. I'd reached an age when I had to grow up and start taking life a bit more seriously, which had a huge impact on me. I suffered terrible anxiety, and sometimes, in the middle of a game, my legs would start shaking uncontrollably. It was pretty scary.
When I was 11, I spent eight months in the hospital with rheumatic fever and almost died.
I had polio when I was 13. I started feeling stiff, my joints ached, and over a two-week period I lost my coordination and 20 pounds.
