^ Did you really think that only guys could get it? Weird.


I guess that worst I've ever had would be chicken pox or the flu. I haven't had the flu in over 11 years, though. I was 11 the last time that I had it. I don't really get sick much. I eat my fruits and veggies. Wink

haha . . . I also attribute it to my poor childhood. Poor kids have to entertain themselves, and that includes eating A LOT of dirt in the long run. I really built my immune system up as a child.

wow that sucks. hope you get better soon.

i havn't ever got sick that badly. i had the chicken pox when i was three so i can barely remember it...
i guess the worst i ever got sick was when i had food poisoning when i was about 8 or nine, because it was the first time i had ever thrown up.

I had pneumonia once that threatened to suffocate me by slowly filling up my lungs.

Thank God for antibiotics and inhalers! :3

A few months ago I had some kind of stomach virus and couldn't eat for three days without tossing my cookies back up.

I had tonsillitis when I was a kid..

It was horrible I had a bad case of it. but luckily I did not have to get my tonsils out because I only had it once for 3-4 weeks.. But I think if I get it again(which is unlikely since kids normally get it) then I will probably have to get my tonsils out.

I'd have to say my worst illness was a stomach virus I had in middle school. Lasted for 3 days. It was horrible. I have never felt so bad in my life. Never want to go through that again.

I've had pneumonia before as well, after a short-lived case of the flu. My fever from the flu stopped for a day, then came back. So I went to the hospital on a Sunday to get checked out (it's odd for fever to go away a whole day then come back), and they found a spot of pneumonia. They said if I hadn't come in, within a few days I might have had to be hospitalized. But they just gave me a strong antibiotic and I was fine within another day, just a little weak.

Chicken pox. Most of the 'spots' were in my mouth and throat, if I remember, instead of on the outside. I must have had one big one beside my left eye though, because I still have the scar.

Aww, BeryCow Sad Is that happening right now, and I think it would classify as a bad illness.

104.3 Temperature... it was not fun, ice all around you can lead to shock. Only way to lower a deadly temperature like this though.
