My brother used to suffer from joint pain a lot when he was a kid. Mainly his knees. He would call out for my Dad in the middle of the night, and Dad would have to go rub his knees until he could fall back to sleep. Poor thing. We always just called them 'Growing Pains'. My brother is very tall (6'4") so I think it had to do with the rate at which he was growing. Although, I grew very fast as well (I'm tall too) but never had those pains. I do have a terrible clicking sound whenever I bend my knees with my weight on them though! Everytime I go down the stairs, it's click, click, click! It doesn't hurt untless one gets kinda 'stuck' half way thru a click. I also can't ride a bike very well because of them.

I used to suffer from terrible ear aches when I was young. They were sooooooo painful, and my Mom tried everything on them: hotwater bottle- a hairdryer even! I ended up in the Emergency room at midnight because of it, and they poked and prodded me for ages. I don't think they ever came up with anything either. :\
One thing I have always suffered from is allergies/hayfever (which I have right now: ah-chooooo!). I used to be so bad, that when I was young I had to be constantly on some sort of small pill (which I had to cut in half in order to swallow, as-like Missy- I have a problem with pills). I still suffer with it to this day, though now only in the summertime. The thing was, that in those days they hadn't developed a pill that didn't make you drowsy, so I spent quite a few years of my life wandering around in a daze (including our trip to DisneyLand- boy those parking lots seem HUGE when your 8 yrs old & half asleep!). :(

Anyways... enough of my blabbering!
