Whats the worst sickneess you have ever gotten?

 

[Jalabas]

I once had an pneumonia and was very sick.

You suffer from the Maxfire syndrome.

 

[IsmaR]

A disease named "Charcot Marie Tooth." Not a sickness per se, but meh.

 

[Pez55]

I came down with pneumonia...it was pretty bad

 

[D13]

I had bronchitis one time and was out of school for quite a few days. I don't take sick days very often, though.

I got a pneumonia when I was 10. I missed 10 days of school because of it.

Hmm.. I had scarlet fever when I was 2. I was in the hospitalized for 2 and a half weeks.

I also was diagnosed with Lyme Disease at age 10 and it moved into second stage before I caught it. There are three stages: first is flu like, second is arthritic (in my case, I was temporarily paralyzed) and third is death). If you don't know how you get Lymes, well it's caught by deer ticks. So be careful. It's a very real thing. The Lymes is treated with antibiotics, but will be in your blood forever. Therefore, it can come back and cause joint problems whenever it wants to.

And... I was diagnosed at age 15 with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. (aka Eosinophilic Granuloma) Basically, to make it easy on you guys it's cancer just a different type of cell. I have wayyy too many white blood cells in my body that attack my healthy organs and tissue randomly. My body creates holes in my bones and tumors spontaneously when I'm under stress or just whenever. It can happen anytime, any where. This disease is extremely rare. It's what we call an "orphan" disease. Not enough people have it so the government doesn't fund research. It's not genetic, transmittable and there's no cure. Pretty much just ****ty luck of the draw. In children it often runs a fatal course. 1 in 200,000 children are diagnosed every year with it. 1 in 560,000 adults are diagnosed every year. I've been sick almost all my life from this disease, and been in pain since I can remember. I've had a tumor in my head, hip, ovary, and stomach so far and 7 surgeries. I'm going on my 3rd round of radiation therapy this July for 3 weeks, and I've been on steroids in the past. To make things even worse, my doctors have never seen a case like mine. It usually stays within bone/tissue, but mine jumped the barrier. My case went so long without treatment that it actually took over the muscle in my hip. I had a tumor half the size of a football in my right hip. I went 6 years without being diagnosed. :| I was on medical home bound pretty much all throughout high school. I think I went maybe one month out of the 4 years. :/

Anyway, because of this disease I've been in and out of hospitals all of my life. I have a compromised immune system which means I get sick real easily. The nurses and doctors all know me by name and are pretty much like a second family to me! That's how much I see them, ha.

Wow Lily just wow.Props for staying positive about everything.

The worst sickness Ive ever had was when my left nut got VERY infected.I woke up one day in agony,spent 6 hours in bed trying to shake it off.When my parents got home I told them I need to go to hospital ASAP.By the time I got there I could barely walk with the pain.The doctor told me that it was one of 2 things,an infection,or a contorted testicle.(Where the blood supply had been cut off)If it was the latter then there was a 85% chance I would lose my testicle.When he said that I kinda started to freak out.Then I was given a cocktail of morphine and something else to rid the pain.I was so high I couldnt put my t shirt in a bag in front of me.

Turns out it was just an infection(thank god)but I stayed in hospital for a week and a half and my nut was the size of a big orange for like 3 days.

The worst part was this all happened like 3 days after I lost my virginity.It wasnt releated though....

 

[The Phazon Assassin]

I'm amazed at some of the things I see in this thread. My worst "sickness" would probably be chicken pox, if you can even put that in the same category. I mean, all I really get are colds. I've never even had the flu.

 

[StinkomanFan]

The worst thing I ever got was strep throught, or that one time I had the stomach flu and diarieah (is that spelled right?) at the same time.

 

[Pikaville]

I believe it is spelled Diahorrea(Dont hold me to that)

 

[ndayday]

or that one time I had the stomach flu and diarieah (is that spelled right?) at the same time.

Oh God, I had that once. It's like you have lost all control.

It's not like this is super serious or anything, but I lose hair or whatever. No, I'm not bald, I just lose tons of hair all the time, and it gets bad when I'm sick. It's like there are hamsters at the drain for the shower when I'm sick. Other then that, I've had an infection that gave me a fever, chills, headache and all that good stuff. It sucked...I couldn't even read something I was shaking so much.

But yeah, Lily's is the worst. I can't imagine living with something like that.

 

[SuperBowser]

It's diarrhoea! (unless there's some silly american spelling...)

I got testicular torsion a couple years ago. yayyyyyy.

>_>

Diarrhea. There's your silly American spelling.

 

[Teran]

I died, I guess that's the worst it gets.

 

[Flawless Fan]

I think the worst I've ever had was severe strep throat coupled with a high fever. My mom ended up taking me to urgent care.

 

[Peeze]

Bronchitis and West Nile Virus. refused meds and recovered naturally from both.

 

[AlexoftheAura]

Compared to some of the others listed here, it may not sound like much, but mine was the stomach flu, worst few days of my life.

 

[Yaya]

I got up, I got down with The Sickness.

In all seriousness, my worst sickness was one where I was throwing up a ton, I actually threw up a very minor organ.

Yeah...

 

[Morrigan]

I died, I guess that's the worst it gets.

It's a Thriller!

 

[Teran]

It's a Thriller!

Michael Jackson's definitely coming back as a zombie.

 

[StinkomanFan]

Just like Jesus

 

[Greenstreet]

I get tonsillitis every change of season. Sucks.

 

[teeman92]

chicken pox. i get colds EVERY 5 months

 

[rustedfencepost]

mine is when my lungs collapsed.not really sickness but it still sucked

 

[slave1]

strep throat.

or that weird random thing that sent me to the hospital. but i am still not sure what it was. the doctors could not figure it out

 

[Evil Eye]

I got pneumonia last summer. Words cannot describe the horrors... I thought I had lung cancer.

 

[Matt07]

Chicken Pox for me.

 

[Tamoo]

hmm, my illnesses are rather dull, like colds

I guess i gotta be grateful
