A very long list. I have no portal vein (look it up) nor 2/3rds of my 
stomach. My digestive system is a Y shape (yours is an S shape if you 
think about it). The painful bit is an old operational scar, which 
forces a lot of blood through a bunch of very small veins, for which I 
live on pain-killers the same strength as morphine. It's "oxycodone" 
which you can look up. It's very strong, and highly addictive. It's said 
to be twice as hard to withdraw from as heroin. So that's great fun. Due 
to no portal vein and chronic liver disease from post-op complications, 
I have hepatic encephalopathy, which is basically when your blood 
poisons your brain, as a result of liver failure. And I have all sorts 
of blood problems too, protein C and K deficiences, vitamin K 
deficiency, which causes various other problems.

The upshot is that I live on 100 pills per week, I have to go into 
hospital every 3 weeks for a blood check-up, and I have no memory to 
speak of, I forget everything.

The only advantage is that I never feel hungry, due to the results of 
one of the (at least) dozen operations I've had.

You asked :-)
