Despite what my parents keep telling me, this is because of some melodramatic, FictionPress-story worthy, rare genetic disease that has plagued me since adolescence, and not because I'm on the computer too much.
Cancer is the only explanation for the bulbous tumors that randomly pop up in my earlobes every fortnight.
which is a ridiculous (and therefore incorrect) diagnosis, because HOW ON EARTH do identical vasospasms occur SIMULTANEOUSLY in TWO DIFFERENT APPENDAGES? I was having that hit-my-funny-bone feeling in my fingers - all ten of them - and ONLY in my fingers. Muy freaky, ladies and marsupials!

All righty. (Stell: This is an epic tale.) So I go to the doctor because I'd been fainting, and they say, "Well, I have no idea what's going on here," and send me to a cardiologist for a heart sonogram, who gives me a blood test and tells me I have hypothyroidism.

You're normal now. Go off and be merry."

I've been going around saying I have leprosy because people ask why I'm covered in band-aids, when really I'm just highly allergic to mosquito bites which have exploded all over my body. They are drippy.
