Discussion about diseases thread

[Thunderstrucker]

Hi.
I created this thread for we discuss about diseases, as the name says.
I'm with flu, (not swine one, regular flu.)
Very ill and I want to know what's your opinion about diseases like that
(what's the worser disease that you had, etc.)


Cheers, Rap.

Edited by Trigger Happy: topic name corrected from deseases to diseases to prevent various confusions.

EDIT: after 3 words correction, I think I'm with a mind problem, another DISEASE to me.

I presume you mean "diseases"? "Deceases" is probably not a word, and is far too close to "deceased", i.e. "dead"...

[Thunderstrucker]

Sorry...
I always confuse those two words...

Without attacking anyone, I find that people tend to overreact with illness (cold etc is hardly an illness). Once they have a bit of a cold or a headache, they are so sick that they can't do anything and must lay down in bed.
Unless you are really sick, laying down in bed doesn't make you better so you might as well get your act together and start doing something.


Last time I was really sick I must have been 7 or 8 , as I don't really rate a cold or a small flu as an illness.

Now this is really a sick thread!

I'm joking . I agree with the words above.
I have 2 interesting stories, maybe you'll find them useful:
2 years ago I had a brief period of panic attacks. It came and passed, I didn't take pills or else. I don't know the reasons, everything was OK before. All I can say that it is a really really bad thing. I was completely down physically and I felt that I was about to decease (or desease or disease, sorry for another joke ). But I didn't, after all.

Not an illness but a strange thing, I don't know if you know it: sleep paralysis. I have it from time to time. When you're about to fall asleep or wake up, you are suddenly paralysed, cannot move, speak, nothing. You hear a pulsating white noise (your blood flow, actually), feel a pressure on your body and it's very frightening (even if it's completely harmless). Not a very frequent thing but many people experience it without knowing what it is. It took me a lot of time to realise that this phenomenon has been described by doctors and actually has the name SP. Cool, eh?

The worst illness i had was about 2 years ago. It was my first secondary school day and at 6pm i puked up in the toilet a lot . I thought it was a fluke until an hour later where i puked up again. This happened about 5 more times, each throw up sooner than the last. I had to sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag because of my stupid mum. Didn't get to sleep 'til 1AM so it ruined my sleep and ruined my day. THANKS A LOT BACTERIA

Well, last year I had some sort of flu, I couldnt get up from the bed, when I got up, I almost fainted.

Had a swine flu in the beginning of this year. About 42 C of fever in the night.

Well, I have asthma, but it's not very serious... I used to have diseases like pneunomia and bronchitis (cool names they have, but they concern the lungs. keuhkokuume and keuhkoputkentulehdus in Finnish) quite often when I was <8 years. But they ended after the asthma was diagnosed and I started using medicine. I've had an asthma attack only once in my whole life, and that ended in like 30 seconds. Nowadays I don't even need to use the medicine anymore

But I'm also suffering from one of the most annoying things in the world, allergies. I'm allergic to lots and lots of foods, (apples, pears etc, nuts, and so on...) and also to pollen of some trees. This means that when I go out on a spring day, the evening or next morning I feel like I want to dig my eyes out and rip the nose apart.

Once last year I had so bad headache, that I couldn't do anything at all, I was just lying on the bed (I had some movies running on, but I couldn't follow them). Then I went to pee, and I noticed that my head didn't ache as much. Then I started sitting instead of lying down, and it went better. 1h later I felt almost normal

I know its horrible when you have over 40 C fever. It has happened to me only once.
