Not "atrophied." Not "smaller than average." None. Confirmed by CT with and without contrast, *and* an MRI with and without contrast. ENT looked at the images, looked at the radiology interpretations, felt along my jaw, and just sat there speechless.<br /><br />He finally said that in his 30+ years of being an ENT, he had never seem, heard of, or read about congenital agenesis of (being born without) salivary glands. Me being the curious type and all, I used me being a current college student to my advantage, and used the library's access to medical journals for all they were worth. After every possible related phrase, and every journal I could get access to, I came up with the reason he'd never even read about it. In the past 80-odd years, there have been <b><i>FOUR</i></b> reported cases. And to think that he turned down my offer for him to write a journal article about me.

A...I too would like details about this cow person.<br /><br />As for me...I'm not interesting. Uh, my adenoids grew back after I had them removed? I didn't think they could do that, but a doctor pointed them out on an MRI thingy, so. I'll take his word for it. And I only had two wisdom teeth, the ones on top, but I think that's pretty usual. <br /><br />I hear loud bursts of static and have horrid pain in my ears - used to be just the right, but now both - whenever I'm exposed to loud noises like a cheering crowd or music coming out of a speaker. It pissed my parents off that they could never crank the music up...or they'd do it anyway and not believe me when I said how much it hurt. No idea what that's about. I don't know if it's an anatomical weirdness, though. Oh, and I have palinopsia off and on; I think it may be some kind of weird migraine sans pain, but it's freaky as hell. But sadly it's not something anyone but me can tell is going on :(Mollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-29635382092568842842010-08-08T08:44:09.845-07:002010-08-08T08:44:09.845-07:00I have one double-jointed elbow, 26 teeth (no extr...I have one double-jointed elbow, 26 teeth (no extractions), corectopia and a miswired vagus nerve that makes me faint every time I have to barf.

I had wisdom teeth wrapped around my lower jaw and growing through my sinuses. Before they sent me home from having them removed they said "oh yeah, uhhh, try not to sneeze for a few weeks." Also I have a large cup-to-disc ratio (for someone without glaucoma). Which reminds me, I gotta make that opthamology appointment...<br /><br />P.S. I am also a nurse and trying to motivate myself to write more.
