What is the longest it has taken for you to realise something about your body/health?

After 30+ years I found out that I was a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis...the hard way.

18 years to discover I have a brain tumor. It's benign thankfully and one that doesn't need to be removed unless it grows, but that was quite the finding, particularly since both of my grandfather's died of brain cancer.

It has taken my entire life to truly realise that my body can betray me in nanoseconds. After I treated pieces of parts of it so well, LOL.
