Fortunately I made a full recovery (not lost any limbs, etc) but have lost some of my short term memory. Oh well, I just write things down more often now. lol

i second that!!!

i was also 16 but the lumber puncture was attempted no less that 5 times before i passed out!!! in the end a short stay in hospital followed by 4 weeks of bed rest with about 20+ tabs a day! made me sick every time! the hospital could not directly link me to meningitis nor did they rule it out!!

i also suffer from Psoriasis and it aint getting no better!! and just recently been diagnosed with Dermatitis on my face!!! oh well another claim against the royal navy going in then!!!!

Rushed through to hospital after going to doctors and having argument with receptionist along the lines of "Want to see a doctor", "doctor not available", "want to see a doctor really badly", "doctor not available", "want to see doctor or going to take all clothes off in reception!", "no doctor available".

Guess what. One was available after removing shirt, trousers and socks!! Then rushed into hospital!!!!!!

Operated on within 2 hours. God bless private health!!

My eyes are watering just reading this

So how's the opera singing going?; no trouble hitting the high notes

sorry couldn't resist the obvious

My head fell off one time......

When I was younger I used to get SEVERE migraine - I have had a pool cue snapped over my head and can honestly say any movement, any light, any sound, any stimulus whatsoever was 100 times worse than that. Haven't had one for years *touch wood*

Ooh ooh and a double groinal/scrotal hernia was no picnic.

This has got to be the No 1 thread for variations on a subject

Some of the illnesses described are extra nasty and anyone with any of these illnesses has my sympathy

These forums are very annonymous ,but reading the posts reminds us/me that there is a character and a life behind each username

I must be lucky,I (cross fingers )have no issues other than a bit of psoriasis on the elbow
I wish any of you well with your problems if they are still with you.

My worst illness is kids, 5 of them now and as i write this one has been taken to hospital with breathing problems due to a cold (was in for a week before christmas with the same thing).
If we knew how much fear and panik they would bring us would we have kids?
My secound oldest has decided to make me into a grandad too at 44 (wonder if i will worry as much about my grandkids)
oh well at least i have had no ilness to speak of that are not alcohol induced and short lived.
Now wheres that vodka gone?
