Current Events > Worst sickness you have ever had?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dont have a fucking clue how i got it, but i did. And on the night i saw Tim and Erics live stage show.

Shat my guts out for a week and thought i was going to die.

Pneumonia

---

The sickness for the thiccness.

---

When I was 13, I got viral meningitis. It caused me to have infected fluid in my spine and brain as well as brain tumors. I also started having seizures randomly for about 8 years, but they got more and more mild over time and eventually stopped happening.

---

Gangrene, if that counts.

---

probably strep throat

nothing too terrible yet

unless you count mental illness, i have had some very bad experiences with that, some that lasted months untreated

Holy shit

I had the Beijing Flu as a kid. Almost died from it.

I had a bacterial infection a few years ago that was kinda rough but I've never been very sick, or often..

---

Pneumothorax, aka hole in the lung. Every breath felt like I was punched in the throat, couldn't walk 20 feet without getting winded. Spent a week in the hospital.
---

Pyloric stenosis from birth
Severe pneumonia at six
Delirium tremens on a few occasions since adulthood.

Unknown sickness in March this year
Caused massive headaches and mom said it was similar to covid but it wasnt that

A week of food poisoning.
Been alright aside from that

---

An unknown stomach ailment (possibly dysentery) that almost killed me

Or the time my potassium dropped to zero and I couldn't walk. Almost went into heart failure

Also had 3 pituitary tumors that needed a surgery each and radiation.

Self Doubt

I missed three weeks of school when I came down with bronchitis as a kid, though I don't recall really feeling all that bad during the time except for chest and throat pain from all the coughing.

How the fuck are you still alive?

I probably came closer to dying from fever, but the worst experience is a stomach virus. Just constantly, constantly shitting and vomiting. I slept on the toilet.

Spinal Meningitis

Ethanol poisoning or delirium tremens?
DTs fucking suck.

Not been too unlucky. Worst was a month long chest infection when I was 13 or so. The day I woke up with it unable to breathe I collapsed outside my bedroom wheezing thinking I was going to die.

Just poisoning Never got Dts never will thank god, it looks like hell

Covid.

Was bedridden for basically 8 months straight last year, and even now my lungs still slightly hurt every now and then, and I get palpitations and spasms time to time.

---

Had a nasty bout of what I assume was food poisoning. Could barely even roll out of bed to use the bathroom. Skin turned straight gray. Vomiting, the works. I was a zombie for like, three or four days.

...and weirdly craved yellow gatorade. Idk why but it was the only liquid i could drink without feeling more sick.

Not to be all "horse paste" here, but vitamin D and zinc should get you a bit less fucked. Maybe also B12 and magnesium.
Avoid cyanocobalimin (the usual B12 pills). That's a cyanide load your damaged lungs don't need. Get methyl-B12 instead.

Yeah, I've been taking all that for sure.

Appendicitis. My appendix was about to burst. Got to the hospital in time luckily. Had it removed and all was ok.

---

Idk what it was but it cause me to diarrhea straight up, then I slipped and fell in it

War is hell

Recently, the second Pfizer shot. I constantly felt like I was freezing cold and shook so hard it was painful. Obviously had a fever, headache, blurry vision, extreme pain in the arm I got the shot, overall weakness, etc. First day was the worst, still had some symptoms the second day. Third day I was more or less back to normal, but very sensitive to temperature. Don't know if I'd ever want to go through that again.

---

I went crippled when I was like six. Was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and eventually could walk again. I still have pain in my legs sometimes.

No one knows what caused it, but my legs hurt like hell. I remember my dad carrying me out to the car as I was screaming. I assume it was some sort of viral infection or something. Maybe demons I dunno.

That's polio.

I had a bad flu bug in high school back in like 2002.

I had fever, muscle aches, throwing up constantly, headache, and couldn't sleep.

This was in the 80s and I hope I was vaccinated for that. If not my parents never told me. They just said no one could tell them what it was.

---

Even children who seem to fully recover can develop new muscle pain, weakness, or paralysis as adults, 15 to 40 years later. This is called post-polio syndrome.

Shit wonder if I really had polio?


---

I had to be circumcised when I was like six, so my assumption is that I got a serious infection in my dick, but I barely remember that.

I had a massive-ass kidney stone at the start of this year, but I don't consider that "sickness."

The worst would probably be last year. I was sick as a fucking dog with what I imagine was the flu. My dumbass went to work every day too. If it hadn't been the first week of January and if I didn't live on the east coast, I'd probably say it was Covid.

---

Common signs and symptoms of post-polio syndrome include:

• Progressive muscle and joint weakness and pain
• General fatigue and exhaustion with minimal activity
• Muscle atrophy
• Breathing or swallowing problems
• Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea
• Decreased tolerance of cold temperatures

I hope I'm tripping. All this applies to me now and the sleep apnea is getting worse. My fingers also started getting numb and turning white when it's barely cold a few years ago.

I better not find out my mother knew about this and kept her neglect on the down low for over 30 years.

That's also the symptoms of fybromyalgia, and you can beat the shit out of that with B12 and magnesium.

When I was 2, I had Malaria. It's common in the world's largest open air zoo, also known as India.

I caught the swine flu back in 2009 and that shit fucked 20 y/o me up pretty bad.

Lasted for about a week. I could hardly sleep without waking up every hour or two soaked in cold sweat. And eating was super painful because of how sore my throat was. So not only was I really sick but I was sleep deprived and underfed as well which just made me feel even weaker.

---

Whatever the fuck it is I have right now that apparently 3 doctor visits and an MRI can't figure out.

---

Flu from a flu shot.

---

I remember basically nothing but considering how bad the weaker version is, id have to say Scarlet Fever.

Strep throat (in all its variations) suck hard in all variations and whenever i do get sick it nails me with swollen throat for a few days first... its hell.

Strep Throat when identified is atleast curable with penicilin but even that takes like a day or 2 to fully kick in.
