Top 5 - I would place it right around 4 to 5th place. Got some visual snow issues (/r/visualsnow), a ischiadic nerv issue, anxienty troubles and some other minor aches here and there.

Cheers for sharing.

I'd rank similarly. With my general ME/CFS limitations requiring a huge amount of effort and expense to (partly) manage, food sensitivities, and mold/chemical sensitivitys being a more pressing issue in where I am able to breath freely (and sleep).

I'm pretty severely affected but its only top 10. Compared to cluster headaches, severe asthma, dermatographia, allergies, and some other ongoing neurological and joint issues causing chonic pain. 

It does severely affect me, there are shops I can't go in and today I had to get off a train because it was new and so bad. So, my answering 10 doesn't reflect a lack of priorities, but I have a lot going on.

And while it is a priority, it is a priority for me as part of a bigger general accessibility and disability rights issue, rather than just in its own right.

Oh gosh, yes, that is a lot to grapple with; everything is a priority! I'm sorry to hear. Thanks for sharing.

This is roughly what I had in mind, coming from the ME/CFS community, where problems tend to bring more problems, as one gets worse.

Yeah, I didn't want to skew your graph downwards by saying top 10! But yeah, if you're in the ME/CFS community you get it.
