Morphene (and its derivatives) has no effect on me so I have literally no form of painkiller available.

Paraceamol is rubbish and I am not allowed to take Aspirin and Ibuprofen.

Also I can no longer drink enough to get pissed no matter how I try, I feel bloated and full before I actually get drunk.

Use a Pound key - actually, this is primarily down to using a USA keyboard where the thing doesn't exist.  The " and @ keys are switched as well, which is infuriating.

Seemingly, the past 10 months only, cook a decent Yorkshire Pudding anymore - they keep coming out flat, following the recipe to a tee, trying slight variations, changing oven temp, nothing, it's just gone.

I can roll my tongue and juggle.

I've long thought I'm cursed by being good at most things, and great at nothing. Anything I'm not good at I immediately think is pointless and see no merit in trying to master it.

Advanced mathematics for example, what's the point in that? If in was smart enough to understand it's application then I might see the point. I'm not, so I don't.

Juggling too, but I can roll my tongue with the best of them.

Does such a thing as "semi-prehensile" exist. I can roll my tongue, can use my feet for grabbing stones or sticks, etc and throwing them out the way (I walk around barefoot a lot - handy in the garden). I can juggle too...I have a fair amount of body hair (once called Chewbacca for my considerable leg hair)...I like to "pick" at things...maybe I'm closer to our nearest relative that I thought. Hmmm Hmmm

I do have an unusually large gap between my big toe and second toe, big enough to pick up a tennis ball with.

I can't do that type of ear-piercing, fingers-in-the-mouth whistle footballer managers are fond off. In a similar vein, I can't do that kind of squirty but well-controlled spitting that chavs seem to have mastered. On the rare occasion I do spit, it's more likely to end up on my coat than the floor.

I also have almost no sense of smell so smelling 99% of things is something I can't do either

Same, yet all my family and most aunts and uncles can. I can whistle a good tune though.

Wasn't this common with St. Kildians? (the prehensile toes, not the apocalypse)

Not sure.. I was brought up to believe it was people from Purton.
