bad genes???

OK, so what I am thinking is that my DNA is just so totally messed up and maybe I do not want to pass that on to a child anyways.

When I was in the 4th grade I was diagnosed with a vary rare bone disease.  At the time, there were something like 7 other diagnosed cases.  I wore a brace until I could have my tumors removed in high school.  I had major surgery, had my bones switched around, etc...spent 1.5 years on crutches.

Then about 6 years ago, we found out I have a very large cyst in my spinal column.  My doctor even said he hadn't seen one in the books that big.  It is too dangerous to remove and most people who have them never know.

Then this year we found out I had this "birth defect" in my uterus, the septum.  Had it removed in July....that was supposed to fix things.

So seriously, have I not paid my dues in life??  Nobody in my family has any of these other things, and nobody had had trouble with pregnancies.  Is my body and my insides and DNA just that screwed up?  I am tired of being like "why me?"  but really.... I feel like God is punishing my for something and I don't know what I did.  I try to lead my life as a good person and what do I get?  NOTHING!!

Have you seen a genetic counselor??  They might be able to help you....

I haven't, but I think it might be worth it now
