I had weird spots on my throat and my mouth... my skin got horrible, mostlikely from beign run down and i spent about 3 weeks in bed! that was horrible. every now and again i get really sick (not that sick) but my throat and mouth get those weird spots again and my doctor has no idea what they are, adn when i get them if i drink cold water the inside of my ears itch something crzy it nearly makes me cry!!!!

When I was about 10 or so, I had some kind of flu. Don't remember what strain but it was bad... (my baby sister died from it). I could barely hold my head up and was in the hospital for a week or more.

well when I was 2 my parents found out I had a brain tumor...was in the hospital for a very long time, went into a coma and almost died. Than it happened all over again when I was 9 but not as bad. I guess that would be considered the sickest I've ever been right? I could go into how I got mono, various flu's, ear infections and severe diverticulitis but...compared to intense surgery they were a peice of cake.

About 15 years ago I consumed "bad" lobster. Not only was the lobster contaminated, I found out that I was allergic to it. I took some meds for the fire hydrant-vomiting; then that med caused me to go into respiratory paralysis because of the reaction my body had to it. I arrived at the ER just as I lost consciousness and woke up the next day feeling exhausted, but fortunate to have more chances. ;)

Withdrawals from Effexor, OMG the stuff should be banned. 14 months of a sinus infection I picked up in the hospital after or during sinus surgery. Evidentally not every Doctor can take the culture I begged for. Finally after changing insurance, driving two hours to an ENT the culture was finally taken. What a hassle that was.

I have lymphedema of the legs due to I had some removed during a hysterectomy because cancer was found in a tumor and the surgeon no doubt went over board and removed 45 lymph nodes which led to me having this uncurable disease and since I do have it infection sets in my legs and goes right to my kidneys and I had one of the worst kidney infections a while back and I was so sick I do not remember the whole day when it first hit me and when I woke up it seemed like I had been out of it for a long time but with the infection I had the worst headache and I had such bad cold chills I could not stop shaking and I had 4 blankets on me and a heating pad and could not get warm , I never ever want to be that sick again I went through serious surgery blood transfusions and radiation and chemo and never felt as sick as that infection made me feel

When I had an appendectomy, adhesions, hernia and nothing was showing up on lab tests. I couldn't stand up, nor go the bathroom. I had to go through grueling tests for a week with morphine, still not positive. Surgery was exploratory and the doctor found lots and took it all out. I asked how it went and she said asked if I hurt anywhere. It didn't.
