What is the most ill you have even been?

[Marhaban-1]

With me it happened when I was abroad. I got a really dangerous type of food poisoning and ended up in hospital.

[Rob17792]

kidney stones, diverticulitus, laproscopic surgery 8" inches of my intestines removed, elbow surgery for pinch nerve, eye surgery, vein bleeding in my leg where surgery was needed to remove one vein and burn another, oral surgery from wisdom teeth extracted when novacaine didn't set in and 2" teeth got removed where it messed up my jaw, stitches on my forehead from a metal bike flipping up over the roof of my house and landing on my forehead

[Rob17792]

a cathedra in my dick slit unlubricated after intestinal surgery

[Rob17792]

internal bleeding for 3 days and having a colonoscopy and endoscopy in the same day back to back procedures, 6 colonscopies 3 endoscopies sometimes while i was bleeding a few days before or even the day before

[nolabels]

I can narrow it down to two illnesses.
My colon burst due to diverticulitis, and I had a bad case of COVID, which is continuing on as Long COVID.
They both nearly killed me.
I think that Long COVID is still trying to kill me.

[Rob17792]

almost the same with me i had 8" of my intestines removed

[Rob17792]

i would still rather have that then ever have kidney stones

[Marhaban-1]

Yes my dad has long covid

[TwoowT]

Food poisoning because the meat wasn’t cooked enough and I had to be in the hospital for 24h with serious condition and doctors didn’t know how to fix it. I thought I was gonna die because my white blood cells kept increasing over 70% and that was going to cause blood poisoning too. Anyways doctor didn’t know what to give me but a medical student knew the cure and he mixed some things together and boom! Got better by morning ✌🏻✌🏻

[Marhaban-1]

Similar to what happened to me

[Jamie05rhs]

Wow! Thank God someone paid attention in class!

[TwoowT]

@Jamie05rhs yeah. I was really shocked. lol

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm glad they saved you.

[TwoowT]

@Jamie05rhs thanks.

July last year. Contracted Covid-19 while in hospital for something else. Spent 3 months in a coma/delerious, multiple organ failure & my heart stopped. 4 hours CPR to revive me with another week before I came out of the coma, then during recovery I got an infection in my right foot and had to have a below knee amputation. Came home six months after I was admitted instead of 4 weeks.

Spent a total of 9 months in hospital last year.

[Marhaban-1]

Oh wow that's just wow I'm not sure what to say I'm shocked

[DJB72]

I've had to make a few adjustments, but basically I'm on the road to recovery.

I'm alive. I get to watch my son grow up.

Events - even major ones like Covid-19 has been for me - aren't "good" or "bad" in themselves. What we do with those experiences determines if they are positive or negative.

I'd strongly recommend you read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. He was a Jewish psychiatrist in Germany and spent time in Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. The book is revealing on how even that experience can be used for a positive outcome. Next to that, six months continuous hospital time & losing my leg is almost nothing

[SandandWaves]

sorry for that.

when i was a baby-was supposed to die, drs said

[Marhaban-1]

Wow!
I'm glad you here to tell us the story

[SandandWaves]

the next day i was all better

[exitseven]

glad you made it.

[SandandWaves]

@exitseven thanks guys. The dr's didn't have any clue what was wrong. I wasn't even eating. The day before I wasn't gonna make it, the dr said she will die tomorrow, the next day, I was completely better and eating a storm

[SandandWaves]

was in hospital for over a month

[exitseven]

this site would not be the same without you.

[SandandWaves]

@exitseven Ohhhhhh... you melted my heart...

[exitseven]

whats the story with the TV remote>?

[SandandWaves]

@exitseven well it has worked for years without a remote. then after a year went by or so, I couldnt get the volume button to work on tv, so, I need to buy the universal remote I like, I found out I could get the same one, I have for the other older tv. I just need to go get one

[exitseven]

if you need help give me a scream.

[SandandWaves]

@exitseven Oh, I still remember you saying you will help me, and I so appreciate that SO much

[SandandWaves]

I will try to get one as soon as I can

[genericname85]

i guess the "worst" disease i ever suffered from is the chronic one, that i still have. Asthma. i don't suffer greatly from it. in fact with the medication i have today, i have pretty much 0 symptoms. but i suffered from it when i was younger and i probably will as i grow old. i mean the bad thing about it for me currently is not any sort of phyiscal agony. it's the knowlegde that i will not get rid of this as there's no cure.

[Pete671]

Probably last year when I had an idiopathic seizure, woke up 18 hours later in HDU,,,

I was enuretic for the next couple of nights, have permanent weak bladder and need to wear nappy 24/7, can't hold for more than a few minutes,,,

I've also had cryptosporidia, pneumonia, norovirus at least twice,,,

[ThoughtfulSoul]

Ouch.
As for me, I had a headache and felt like throwing up all the time. Couldn't sleep well for five consecutive days.

[Marhaban-1]

I bet you felt like you could have died if you didn't sleep for 5 days

[ThoughtfulSoul]

It felt more like I was in a trance. For the first three days I was aware of my surroundings but too weak to respond. The time after the third night passed in a blur.

[pervertedjester]

Well I was married for 4 years...

[Marhaban-1]

😂😂😂

[Somegirl408]

i had a psychosis episode a year ago and went to a mental hospital

[Rob17792]

[Marhaban-1]

Same but this year

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I had stomach flu mainly when I was younger it hit me twice in my life and trust me I was very sick yeah we all got to watch where we eat from and Cruise ships are bad they tend to carry them illnesses

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I had sun poisoning & was stuck in the house for over a week. It was horrific. I can't remember a time i was sicker.

[Rob17792]

had that happen in 2005 or 2006

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I ate at a restaurant & within 45 minutes I was throwing up & it was a mess.

[Luminair3]

I once had a horrible fever along with vomiting and diarrhea. The worst part was I didn't have any appetite so I felt very weak.

[Anonymous]

Suicidal! I’ve been physically sick too, but I’d say this takes the win.

[Marhaban-1]

I hope you feel better. If you have a plan or date to kill yourself. I would urge you to go straight to hospital now

[Opinion Owner]

I’m way better now and on the road to receiving help. Thank you for your concern!

[exitseven]

Freshman year in college I had the flu like I have never had it before. I was sick for almost a week. High fever, diarrhea, chills, vomiting. I thought I was going to die.

[have_a_good_day]

This one time I had a really bad papercut. It burned so much. It was the worst 4 minutes I've ever experienced in my life.

[pink_and_inlove]

When I had covid and I blacked out at work and I couldn’t walk they had to help me I found out that I had Covid shortly

[Ecologygirl76]

That I can remember, probably the one or two times I've had influenza

[jamesgoldman]

I guess myopericarditis
3 days in the hospital and an MRI scan at the Brompton Hospital in London

[Jamie05rhs]

I got sick a f a few years ago and I had to go to the hospital from an ENT infection.

[Surely]

Food poisoning from a fast food burger.
In bed for a couple of days.

[Anonymous]

I blew a 0.7 one night in the hospital. Nurse told me if I didn't have a massive tolerance I'd be dead, normally 0.3 is deadly

[ChloeStarlight]

I had strep throat last November

[micheal727jovanie]

Alcohol poisoning.

[Marhaban-1]

I've had nicotine poisoning

[micheal727jovanie]

[Marhaban-1]

You feel dizzy and throw up and feel like your having a heart attack

[Andres77]

Yup, food poisoning as well.

[Likes2drive]

Probably when I had pneumonia

[Joshua0213]
