What's the worst disease you've ever had?

Mine would have to when i got Norwalk Virus from visiting a retirement home in Toronto i was throwing up literally every 15 minutes and eventually my muscles become so tired from throwing up that it felt like i was having a mini-heart attack every time i threw up. Needless to say i lost 40 pounds off my already fairly scrawny body.

Not fun...

Was in hospital for a week, constantly drugged up to the eyeballs, and then was on crutches for something like 6 months .

(Edit- Was in my foot, though that might be important )

Idk, probably some sort of foreskin infection so they cutted it off

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not .

Probably either pneumonia or scarlet fever. I remember having pneumonia and it was horrible, we have a picture of me with my spine all twisted because I was in so much pain from my back. After that I had stabbing pains in my chest that felt like someone was plunging a knife in and out of me, then after thinking I was going to die I blacked out for a bit, woke up inside a car on the way to hospital, they drugged me up to the eyeballs and, despite the fluid inside my left lung, I was bouncing up and down on the hospital bed within 30 minutes

I've been told that when I had scarlet fever I was much worse and ill for several weeks, but I had it when I was 5 and I don't honestly remember it.

My parents have told me that I've had diptheria, though I can't remember.

Chicken Pox.

Probably Chicken Pox, too. My knack is more for breaking bones than contacting nasty illnesses

No I'm not being sarcastic

Thanks for the images ...

_EJ LIKES CHILD PORN!

I have Walking Pnemonia at this moment, but realy that's it... well I once had a tooth shaped like a bullet grow out of the roof of my mouth but i don't think that counts. >>

Right know I have laryngitis and type A flu... I'm not sick that often, so this is one of the worse I've had. I cough so hard it makes me vomit, and it also kinda closes my throat, so it becomes really hard to breathe when and after I cough.

I had Norwalk for a few days, absolutely terrible. I threw up, and then got dry mouth and became thirsty, I drank water, I threw up again. Lather, rinse and repeat process until you want to die.
If we count Mental illness's as disease, then I've been sick all my life.

I like to think that everyone has a little bit of Crazyess inside of them, that's what makes us all unique

This.

The fever is oppressive. The nausea is obscene. The feeling that you will die is constant.

Dun git bit by skeeters kids.

EDIT: I first felt the nausea. In 35C conditions. Then came the fever. Oh man. That was some shizzle. 103F fever. In 19C temperatures if I twitched, it felt like someone had lit me on fire with a fudgeing torch. Then the dehydration and the lack of energy.

I once had Ebola.

When I was little I had something really bad but I can't remember what it was called. All I can remember is that I had a 106 fever and being in the hospital. My dad tried to take me to Alabama to visit some of my family and my mom almost killed him xD.

Pnemonia. I was physically unable to move from my bed (actually it was a couch) for a week.

Apparently it's very similar to dengue, which is fairly common around here... You got me lost when you used Fahrenheit though CELSIUS FTW

FAINE it was like...39.9C.

For the one F part.

Ugh, that must've been a pain.
Meh, looks like my sister got the flu from me, she's got 38.5° C fever...

Agreed get with the rest of the world you silly Americans.

EDIT: Lol i almost hijacked my own topic thats fudgeed.

Systemic lupus erythematosus. Otherwise known as Lupus or SLE. I am just coming out of an active phase of SLE. It caused me to go into accute renal failure when it caused Lupus Nephritis and I almost died. I will always have it and they figure it first became active when was in my teens (but only mildly) but I was diagnosed two years ago when I went into the active phase where I almost died.

And we probably never will, sadly...

If what they say is true, that 1 in 8 people have herpes, then why hasn't anyone mentioned it?

Umm...I don't think I've had any.

Cuz!!

That's why.

Or they are afraid everyone will go buzzkill on them.

Erm...and you've never been sick before?

Pixel..... Think about the kind of people we have on this forum.


Actually i could have herpes but atm i'm comforting myself by pretending its just post-pubescent very painful acne (which it may be) i've had worse STD's though and they're no fun at all (especially when your not that "active" to begin with)

Well, I have irritable bowels, so I have diarrhea at least every week, and currently I have food poisoning, I believe, so every time I'm in the bathroom, it's hell. Not only that, but I've eaten hot wings the last couple of nights, and let me tell you, it's 10 times worse coming out than going in. Every time I'm on the throne, my subjects revolt, let's put it that way.
Also, it's very rare that I eat and not feel at least a little nauseated afterward. It's very uncomfortable and irksome.

I quote the doctors.
'Viral meningitis that was cured with antibiotics.'

Effectively they figured I was going to die, so pumped me up with antibiotics, (..for the bacterial version..) and it somehow did something.
But it wasn't bacterial. Definitely viral.
*shrug*

Dengue got me outta school for like a week

I have herpes.

Swine flu, if that can count... it was nothing...

Oh, also I have severe depression for up to a week at a time (I'm talking suicidal), and am in one of those weeks right now. I'm currently taking St. John's Wort (herbal remedy), but all it does is keep me from starting cutting again (joke).

I haven't ever gotten any really bad diseases. Worst is probably just a stomach bug.

May of had very very very mild swine flu, usually break shizzle tho
