I always had disibilities all my life. Mine are Intellectual Disability, Speech Impaired, Hearing Loss and major depression. I wouldn't change them because if I did then I wouldn't be me.

Change it to what? If you have a choice to what it will be changed to, then I would consider it. But even then, you don't know how it will affect you. So I will keep what I have! I hope you are in an emotional state that allows you to deal with yours.
I was born with a deformed tail bone and fused vertebrae in my neck. Makes for interesting nerve issues at times! And a childhood disease has given me the gift of arthritis in my hips, hands, elbows and knees. When all is said and done, there are much worse things I could be living with- thank God or the gods that I have a high pain tolerance.

Change it to what though? Would I get a choice what it changes to or to get to have a trial with it to refund it? Sometimes when we want something and get what we ask for, the outcome is worse than what we had before. But sometimes it is better or more easily managed when we do get what we want. I've seen shows where people are in wheel chairs, quadriplegic, or one guy was internally decapitated and there wasn't much that held his head in place but he did recover.
I'd like to go back in time and not be anywhere near a vehicular accident and painful traumatic events, emotional, physical, sexual. But I can't go back.
My pain is in my neck and shoulder blades and has produced major or problems like migraine and tension headaches and possible cluster headaches. When I get these full-blown headaches from the pain in my neck and back I get really sick and can't function at all. I have pain a lot. I think it is muscular from the last accident I was in as well as my degenerated discs/arthritis from other accidents, and a possible pinched nerve in my back (will cost a lot of money to get it checked out) and have been told I have scar tissue in my neck (and there is something I have heard of called whiplash syndrome). I also have many mental/emotional/spiritual problems (which includes me self abusing and so on) and am a survivor/victim of abuses (it is to be seen if one of my abusers will start abusing me again because of his mental illness) and losing a child that I blame myself and others for this loss. I am afraid if I become pregnant again, I may die a very painful death next time (hemorrhaging to death from septicemia) or at the very least have to be put on high risk category. I am noticing other problems too and I feel like I am too young for all this.
I've had pain and agony so bad that at a young age I felt/feel like it's not really living at all to go through this, and when it was much worse (every day just about) I just wanted it all to end because I thought I would not feel the pain anymore.
I have been diagnosed with allergies, asthma (which feels like I am suffocating or can't get enough oxygen), IBS (I've even messed my pants), acidic stomach and symptoms of ulcers, hemmorrhoids (which is scary because bleeding there can be a sign of cancer), dysmenorrhea, other diagnoses, and have had a rough life being a sickly kid seeming to get almost everything that came along.
When I can think of people who are much worse off than me, sometimes I wonder how they can go on without wanting to stop living and why they can look so happy or have a smile on their faces and if they have more pain than me. I also feel better about my problems counting what I do have. I realize that they may be happy to be alive and challenged by each breath they take to do greater things than what others would expect of them, not just deal with the cards they have but to surpass all expectations they and others have, and use the very breaths they have for the best possible life they can live. It truly is emotionally encouraging to me and inspirational, but I'd like to be able to do great things too.
We can't always change what we have but we can try to work with it and through it, even when it's a chronic condition that puts us out of commission for a while each time or nearly every day.
