What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
 

Here's one for you people. I'll get it started...

Strangest thing i've ever had is Lymphitis (not sure how to spell it).

Basically all the lymph glands in my body swoll up. Including some glands in my groin.

Was banned from using my manparts for months! :shocked:

I got pancreatitis after taking azathioprine just for a couple of days. Ended up in hospital in total agony and wasn't allowed to eat for 3-4 days, thought I was dying.

The scariest has be a bad asthma attack and having to be rushed to hospital as was close to death.

My PKD and Crohn's are just as bad though.

I don't know if you'd call it an illness but I suffer from sleep apnea and I hate it.

I have probably one of the longest named conditions, idiopathic Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) and I am more likely to meet a dog suffering from it than another human being.

Still at least this means that there is quite a bit of research being done seeing as, if it isn't to do with cancer, people are more likely to donate money for research if an animal is concerned. :)

i suffer from the 4 year old next door waking me up at 4am every day which makes me very grumpy .

Back in the early 80's Appendicitis, as they where taking it out it burst and I then had perentitus which nearly killed me.

I only found out about the later some 20 years later.

I was out of school for 2 months, and everyday I had to have a salty bath as hot as I could take.

What would happen to you if you did use your man parts would you die?

Re: What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
 

*Curious* So what exactly is this then?

My friend had a really long winded named condition (can't remember what it is now but the name was stupidly long) and all he did was twitch constantly! lol.

No. I'd potentially lose a lot of weight. And for those of you who really know me. AKA broadbandking..You know i'm only small anyway so weight loss wouldn't benefit me much! lol :erm:

Thats good then as who else would I dicuss about CF with at work

Re: What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
 

Forgot to add Livedo Reticularis, it's strange as it's mostly common in young females and they get it in their legs normally, yet I have it in my right arm and I'm 38 male. Now that has to be classed as strange.

Mumps - Not that odd but 5 times

Re: What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
 

Sounds ominous? so what's that then?

**EDIT**

not mumps...i know what that is! lol

My current illness, which is either Chrons disease or Colitis, the biopsy result is due next week. Its very painful - bowel cramps, diarrhea and as a result a very distressing and disrupted lifestyle.

Re: What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
 

I hope it's colitis out of the two (or IBS hopefully) as that's much more treatable / managable.

Hopefully you'll get some result though from the tests as they are all horrible. Drinking that clear out solution for the colonoscopy has got to be the most evil thing on earth.
