Came down with a nasty case of dead there during the summer. Can't get much worse than that. Some anti-biotics and I was grand after a week.

Food poisoning after a feed of mussels was without doubt the worst sickness I ever went through. Wrethcing stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting for about six hours solid.

Holsten · 05-01-2009 10:21PM

I'd go with Chicken Pox.

I've never really caught anything really bad thankfully.

Had Scarlet Fever 12 years ago>>Nasty

Doctor said its like a real bad flu. Just spent 2 weeks in bed with a high fever, couldnt eat a thing,extreme diarrheoa despite only drinking water and red spots all over me ! Was great fun.

Lost a stone and a half, great sickness for dieting !

The following year got the proper flu as my immune system was weakened from the previous year so another week in bed !

Nothing since except a few man flus >>> They can kill you know

Nothing serious though.

I've been pretty lucky with regards to severity of illness.. Worst was probably tonsilitis that landed me in hospital after being unable to eat or drink for a week. During that week, I met and talked to loads of people and had no recollection of it afterwards. Second was probably a kidney infection - had an extremely high temperature, ended up delirious, thinking a little old man was leaning over me when I was in bed. Not pleasant at all.

TeletextPear · 05-01-2009 11:36PM

the last two times i went to the doctor i was told i had menengitis and ambulanced off to hospital. doctors at hospital told me to go home coz they didnt know what was wrong with me. excellent!

It's not that sick man, she's got pretty big knockers for an 11-year-old.

I'd hit that.

Nothing life-threatening thank God! Have never been hospitalised either. Had a bout of gastroenteritis a couple of years back, that was pretty nasty. Vomiting, diarrhaea and zero energy. Tonsilitis... also unpleasant.

Infection in the gallbladder and bile duct caused by it being totally blocked by gallstones. I was pregnant at the time and couldn't have any painkillers, which was just torture, because the pain is much,much worse than childbirth. Had to go on a course of antibiotics and just wait. Was in agony for a full week as well as all the usual aches and pains of pregnancy.

Thankfully I got the gallbladder whipped out Christmas 2007

Soby · 06-01-2009 12:30AM

Dunno what the hell it was but basically everytime id cough id stop breathing and lost my voice till i drank some water and be gasping for air..then it would go.

Me there like a fool pointing to me throat and to my house and him not knowing wdf was gonig on:pac:

Gaspode · 06-01-2009 12:50AM

Empyema a couple of years back. It's like pneumonia with knobs on!

I'm now minus a chunk of one of my lungs, but I'm lucky to have got through it alive, so who cares, I still have the 1 3/4 lungs left to work with!

al30 · 14-11-2010 02:01AM

real flu, shingles and now I have pleurisy

Hail 2 Da Thief · 14-11-2010 02:06AM

Pneumonia

- Wasn't fun!

PanchoVilla · 14-11-2010 02:09AM

Gastroenteritis. It's one the most horrible things you will ever encounter. I got it when I was sixteen and was living up the side of a mountain with some hippies. I spend about two weeks in bed, unable to eat anything and any liquids I managed to drink came right back up again. My stomach and intestines felt like someone was jabbing me from the inside with a red hot poker. It's not very fun at all.

14-11-2010 02:09AM

how do folk actually go back far enough to find a two year old thread?
If it's not on the first half of the first page that's me out.

But for the record. Swine Flu. Yuck.

karlog · 14-11-2010 02:15AM

I had an abra just now so i feel pretty sh*t at the moment.

I should've drank more before eating it.

Diabhal Beag · 14-11-2010 02:16AM

3 day bug is the worst I've had thankfully. I've seen people battle illness though so I've seen my fair share of pain.

jubella · 14-11-2010 02:18AM

Appendicitis - have the scar to prove it!

dr ro · 14-11-2010 02:25AM

After moving out of home I poisoned myself by eating 3 rotten eggs. obviously I didn't know they were rotten till it was too late. Started puking, hit the bed.after about an hour I couldn't get out of bed anymore so I placed a large jumper on the floor beside the bed and puked on it for the night.problem solved!

alwaysadub · 14-11-2010 02:27AM

Got Scarlet Fever when i was a kid. I remember lying in my parents bed thinking the things on my mam's dressing table were coming towards me-the fever was making me delusional!
In adulthood, probably when i got Vertigo and Sinutitus together. Doctor took one look at me and shipped me off to A & E. She actually said to me afterwards she thought i was dying when i went into her! :eek: I had too much fluid in my head, along with other serious stuff. Literally couldn't support my own head or focus on anything. Took me a good 6 months to fully recover.

My OH just had a lot of her Bowels Removed.

I currently have a cold sore and a heavy cold and Im sneaking some medicine on the QT because it would be a little overzealous of me to complain after what she is going through.

Sickest I have been is having Polio as a child. Survival rate is pretty low.

Shut up, that's awesome!

LenaClaire · 14-11-2010 02:39AM

I had sepsis which was a ton of fun. Luckily they caught it early and I only had to have an IV to cool the fever (41) and massive doses of antibiotics in hospital.

Used to have really bad asthma when i was a kid and would end up in the ICU for a week or two at a time every year. I hate hospitals.

kjl · 14-11-2010 02:47AM

I had meningitis and pneumonia at the same time. I was in boarding school in Waterford at the time and my parents were up in Dublin. They got a call from the doctor telling them I had about 2 hours to live.

I have very little memory of it, but I remember being in the ICU and getting a lumbar puncture without any anaesthetic, very painful. My temperature was also spiking so I had to be put into ice baths every few hours.

So my dad is a doctor and my mum kept on telling him to stay out of it as the doctors there were treating me. They eventually ran out of ideas asked my dad what they should do. He suggested a chest x-ray which showed a cannonball pneumonia which was masked because of the meningitis. They began treatment for that and gave me large doses of intravenous antibiotics.

Needless to say, I'm alive now and very grateful to my father for saving my life.

Whats the sickest you've ever been?
