Worst illness you've had?

Mon Jun 06, 2005 5:28 pm

I'm feeling...not morbid, but a bit gross...yeah.

So, what's the worst illness you've had? In the year 2000 me and my dad caught Whooping Cough. It lasted for a year before I finally got rid of it completely. My dad had it worse than me though and everytime he had an attack he threw up. Gross.

I was sick for like 3 or 4 weeks because I had an early case of pneumonia. I had a fever and stuff, but nothing happened when my mom gave me medicine, so I went to the ER. Bleh.

When I was really young, like 2 or 3, I had a fever of like 109.

I think there are two.
Chicken pocks, that I caught recently and suffered for about a week and a half from. I didn't really have a temperature or anything, but everything hurt/itched so badly. :cry:

And this other time, around new years, me, mom and dad all came down with a bad case of the flu. There was an epidemic going around. So all of us were incredibly sick for about 2 weeks. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget that. :P

1999 I was 10 and I got Chicken Pox... Never speak of it again...

Three ear infections in a row. *shudder* Doesn't sound bad now but I couldn't walk!

I haven't gotten a tremendously bad illness before. So there isn't a worst. Flu, colds etc. Nothing to merit being the worst.

not an illness but period pains that induced vomiting and left me crawling home vomiting periodically. Nice.

Impetigo, bad bout of flu (i mean, terrible), chicken pox was nasty, ongoing ear infections, tonsilitis 3 times...

For me, it would be the chicken pox, pink eye and stomach flu. I hate all three.

I've had a few ear infections which hurt a lot. i get nosebleeds a lot too, more during the summer. I've had the chicken pox, but I didn't find them to be all that bad.

The worst thing I've had (not an illness though) was an extra tooth that was growing in upside-down. It in itself wasn't that bad, but the dental surgery to get it out was horrible. they had to dig into my gums and push it out from inside. It hurt.

Hmm, I've had the chicken pox but I was only really ill for two days and hardly got any spots. I did get spoiled for two weeks though :)

Worst is a virus I had a few years back that made me vomit continously for a couple of days, even when there was nothing left to come up. Very nasty and sore, I couldn't sleep either - had to keep getting up to spew again :/ After it passed I had lost a stone in weight which made me ill for the next couple of weeks as I stuffed my face to stop me feeling faint from being so underweight.

But on the whole I seem to get a ton of small things (stomach upsets, bugs, colds etc) rather than anything big.

I never really got anything something really bad- Worst yet is Chicken Pox :oops:

I had a very bad ear infection earlier this year.
I was literally screaming in pain.
But I have a history of ear infections... leading back to was a couple months old >.<

In second grade, I got incredibly sick over the Christmas holidays. Throwing up, very high fever, etc. I think it was pnemonia, but I'm not sure. It lasted for around a week. As luck would have it, I slept all Christmas Day and was nearly cured by the time I got out of bed that day. :)

Highest temperature: 107 degrees farenheit. Ouch.

Uhh.... okay. Me too in that case. :oops:

It's not exactly an illness but i broke my wrist last year and had to have 2 wires put into my arm, which were half in and half out. Then they took them out, while i was wide awake. That hurt a lot, but i survived.
*manly grunt*
