No disease but had my eardrum literally blow out blood and puss pouring out of it. I could barely function. Standing was tought and the pain was insane. Imagine a red hot ice pick stuck in your ear til it punctures the drum and you have an idea. Glad I got codeine for it.

I had gangrene in my stomach from a blown appendix that for 5 days. Idiot me dealt with the pain.

Well had surgery and then a 104 temperature for 3 str8 days. Temperature broke on the 4th day and i was released the next day. Had a tube stuck up me to suck out the poison.

Talked to doctor a year later and he said that on the 3rd day the doctors gave me a 50/50 chance to live. He said that if the temperature had not broken on the 4th day than my body would of shut down and i would of most likely died.

Had a few close calls like this and its helped shaped my outlook on life.

I had whooping cough when I was around 18 or so. Was really sick for about a week or 2 but the effects lingered on for far longer than that. Basically your entire day is spent breathing in medication either thru and inhaler or special steam apparatus every 30 minutes or so, and in between I would cough non-stop. They call it whooping cough because you cough until your air passageways or whatever clog up, which results in you gasping for air. It feels like you're drowning without water, literally the worst feeling I've ever encountered. The only way to make it stop was to calm down, relax and allow your lungs to slowly take in air again, but this happened after about 10 seconds which always felt like 10 minutes. Cough until there's no air left in your lungs then gasp for air repeatedly which doesn't come until you calm down, but it hard to remain calm when you can't fucking breathe. Oh ya this would occur anywhere from 5-10+ TIMES A DAY EVERY DAY. Worst fucking feeling ever knowing you're surrounded by oxygen that you need to survive and your own body is the only thing keeping you from getting it.

is this a thread about giving me sympathy? every poster above me is a pussy, no wonder you get sick

orig thread here: http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/hydro...urgery-367850/

the worst i can remember was quarter sized blisters from sun burn, about 3 on each shoulder. i wanted to die. i think i slept for like 3 days and it was all good.

August of 2008 I caught the swine flu that was sweeping all of Asia. Fun times! Lost 6 kilos in 8 days, no sleep, no eating, no drinking. I'm glad guns are illegal here because I really wanted to fkn kill myself.

had tonsillitis on a sailboat while stuck on a 5 day sail in Australia. Not a terrible illness, but insanely terrible when stuck in the open sea, unable to swallow, and barely breathe with no meds....

Same thing happened to me when i was 11. I didnt tell anyone about my pain because i wanted to play in my state baseball tournament so bad. After it finally exploded there was a ~4 hour window where i felt ok. Happened to be the same time we were traveling up to my games. Got up to the fields and i was basically dying again. Got back home 6 hours later and Willywoo and Mrs Willywoo freaked out a bit and rushed me to the hospital. I guess the gangrene was almost up to my heart which would kill me. Spent a terrible 6 days in the hospital.

The most suffering I've had to gone through was when I had cholera at the age of 8 or 9. Constant diarrhea and puking for about a week, at least 10 times a day. That's not even counting the high fever and dehydration.

Have also had tuberculosis but I was 2 y/o then so dont remember jack shit.

he was in the hospital a long time and is saying that 6 days isnt very long.

cholera isnt that something from oregon trail. how the fuck did you get it?

fuck this depressing thread... time to hijack it.
What was the best thing you have ever won?

When I was like 6 months old they thought I had meningitis. They did the test with the epidural and somehow lost the sample so I had to get treated for meningitis even though they didn't know if I had it because my parents couldn't handle me having a second shot in my spine.

When I was 4 I had double pneumonia (in both lungs) for 4 weeks.

Up until my MOM was able to catch it on a cat scan when I was 6, I had a brain tumor. Every 3 weeks to the day for the first 6 years of my life I would get 102 fever and swollen glands. I also got headaches on a daily basis as you can imagine.

I got chicken pox while recovering from my brain surgery in the hospital lol.

I haven't been sick like that since, but I remember when I was a kid I often had to miss things due to my constant fevers, and I would cry because I had to miss friends birthday parties and stuff, the sick part didn't really bother me. Nowadays, when I get sick I feel like I'm gonna die.

Since all of that stuff, I had Mono at 14, and the sickest I've EVER felt was when I was 21 and got Strep for the first time. I had a 104 fever for 6 days, couldn't talk, couldn't move really. I remember feeling so sick that at 21 yrs old I asked my mom to come stay with me (I had my own place about 30 min away). I told her I was thirsty and wanted OJ cuz the vitamin C couldn't hurt. I chugged the cup and then literally puked in my moms hair. I couldn't help it, I felt horrible about it. I never saw it coming it was the first time since I was like 10 I puked. I ended up puking for the entire 6 days I was sick until the antibiotics finally kicked it enough to make me feel better. The worst part of it all was puking with my throat hurting that bad. I have an irrational fear of throwing up all of my life and to combine that with the acids burning the strep every time I puked, physically incapable of standing up because moving hurt, and my entire body aching, that was the sickest I've ever felt by far.
