<Gotz ze shingles - What's the sickest you've ever gotten?

[Archem]

Cooties. Lice. Gland lice.

I actually had a case of shingles last October. It took about a month to fully cure, but that's probably because I waited a week or so before realizing that it wasn't just a bad rash and that I had to see a doctor about it. It hurt like a bitch...and to make matters worse, it itched. It didn't matter whether any clothing was touching the rash or not, it just hurt.

Same here. Except add a class where you have to crawl through the mud and clear rooms Solid Snake style. Definitely a bad idea.

I had the ebola virus for 3 years in the Congo. That wasn't very nice.

Here's some advice for you all. Should you ever go away to university or similar, don't rush ahead with the whole "getting lots of ladies" thing. It turns out girls really do have cooties. And by cooties I mean glandular fever. I know, what the hell.

Being tired beyond belief for no reason and unable to swallow anything for 2 weeks really ruins your date with Archem messes with your schedule.

Amen to that. I can't help being a chick magnet though....

I once puked 8 times in one night because of a stomach bug.

I think the fever of 104* I had about two years ago beats that, though. Man, I could barely stand up.

2 in the morning. Something sharp in my intestines tore a hole in my intestinal wall that caused excruciating pain for about 7 hours. Do you know what it feels like to be stabbed in your gut? Well I do now. Took two days before I could eat again. This happened three days after last Christmas.

It was the second worst pain that I have ever felt.

The worst pain I ever felt was in the eighth grade. I came down with some illness something or other. Presented like the flu, only the tests turned up negative. Got medicine for flu treatment anyways since the symptoms were more or less the same. The pain was completely disabling. I lied on a couch in silence for an entire week. I ate almost nothing and hardly remember that first week. My fever peaked out at 105 and averaged 102/103. I remember the only thought that I had during that week was wanting to die. Every waking minute was living hell.

I was much better the next week (it was still the pain of a very bad fever, but I could move and eat.) Someone say me during the weekend between these two weeks when I was starting to feel better. To this day, they still say how pale and in pain I looked. I finally returned to school after two weeks. Worst pain ever.
