What's the sickest you ever been (gross warning)?

[blissinanarchy1]

I don't get sick that very often. Maybe once or twice a year. Yesterday takes the fucking cake, I wanted to die.

So I'm not too sure what caused it. I'm very good with washing my hands and using preventative measures. I can only think food poisoning, but from what? I had spaghetti yesterday. Ground beef was fully cooked. Then later on had a peanut butter honey sandwich. I felt strangely overly full despite not eating much. I laid down for a bit, then all hell broke loose. I couldn't stop throwing up, was like a peanut butter brown color. I threw up violently close to about 40 times. Had severe diarrhea or however tf you spell it. It was terrible. I couldnt get off the toilet for like two hours. Went to the ER, was severely dehydrated. Had two full bags of IV put in me. Had extreme stomach pain so they thought maybe a kidney stone or appendicitis. Nothing popped up on a CT scan. They thought it was the 24 hour flu, but I rarely get the flu and when I do it's never that bad. Honestly I think it was tainted honey and I got food poisoning.

Not sure. I can only remember when I was 12 and around Christmas time. One of my nieces caught the flu and it spread to everyone one by one. I was the last to catch it. I woke up sleeping on the top bunk bed. I thought I just had to burp so I sat up getting ready to do that. And guess what surprise I got? You guessed it, vomit. And quite a lot of it. I made it to the bathroom eventually but I was scared because of the vomit. After I was all better in 2 weeks I ate shake n baked chicken legs like crazy. Lol 🍗

When my chronic illness first started, before I gained control of my symptoms with medication. I was vomiting up to 20 times a day every day for over a year before medical personal finally took my condition seriously, gotta looove the medical gaslighting that I received. Lost an extreme amount of weight and my immune system crashed. Even with finally receiving medication, the damage was already done to my body and my organs started shutting down.

Medical community definitely doesn't take people seriously

Try being a woman.. haha. They try to blame any symptoms that you have on your period, or they think that you’re overreacting and just being “emotional” even though you’re in extreme pain. Or, if you’re not stick thin, then they tell you to lose weight even if your symptoms literally having nothing to do with weight.

When I was vomiting constantly they accused me of being bulimic and had a nurse stand in the hospital room with me for 4 hours watching me vomit before they started taking it seriously.

Norovirus. Spent a week in the hospital spontaneously and without warning my colon would explode and I'd shite all over the bed. There was no running to the bathroom first. Just like popping a balloon. COVID was a different kind of sick. My body apparently forgot that it needs to breathe. Kind of a big deal. Felt like I was tossed down a couple dozen flights of stairs too.

Respiratory arrest it sounds like. My mother went through respiratory failure with covid.

Arrest is when you just stop breathing, failure is when you breathe but the proper exchange of gases ain't made.

actually neither in this case, parasympathetic nervous system decided to take a vacation

Sick as in sick I have been never been real sick. However for accidents I have had a lot of them, no car accidents, but freak ones. Ranging from six months to 2 days in the hospital about 6 times and ER visits about 30 times.
