The disease in short is: Inadequate levels of thyroid hormone in the body.  It caused many symptoms that I&#8217;ve long thought to be normal such as brain fog, increased sensitivity to heat and cold (very cold hands\/feet even during hot day), dry puffy skin (like nintendo&#8217;s kirby), fatigue, shortness of breath, anxiety, paleness, weak bowel movements, etc and most importantly lack of focus which is often misdiagnosed as ADD.  This explains why I&#8217;m unable to work on projects for longer than few hours. Check <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hypothyroidism\">wikipedia page<\/a> for a longer list of signs and symptoms<\/p>\n<p>Either changing body hormones or 1+ year of long sitting playing World of Warcraft triggered some of the serious symptoms.  If latter is in fact what affected me, I&#8217;m glad it happened or otherwise I&#8217;ll never find out about this disease.
