Had hep A in 76. That was a very very long 6 weeks and 2 months to get back to full strength / health afterwards.
I am on 3rd year post cancer now.

Dope sick from pain meds taken for cancer treatment(prescription, of course)....  You don't understand sick until you've been through opiate withdrawal..
I kicked on my own without any meds until the third week when I finally started going out of my mind from lack of sleep....  
Opiates scare the crap out of me now and I always ask for something non-narcotic if I ever need a pain reliever....

I got the flu once, and then I got pneumonia while I still had the flu. I felt like I couldn't breathe and had a fever of 103.9, I was really sick for 2 weeks and missed 11 days of school.

About 3 years ago I got sick at church camp along with 90% of the people that were there. This was the same time as the Swine Flu Outbreak. Doctors said it there was a good chance it was Swine Flu but the test they did was accurate about 50% of the time so there was no way to tell. Regardless of what it was I was sick for 2 weeks. Threw up like I never had before, diarrhea, fever peaked around 104, all that good stuff. After 1 week of being sick the doctor gave me a steroid shot and in the process hit the main nerve running down my left leg and I couldn't walk for another 2 weeks and it was almost a month before the soreness went away. Between the 1 week of church camp and the 3 weeks of trying to get better I missed a little over a month of work.

:salute to Irish for beating cancer

 :salute  to all the guys that have beat cancer.   as you guys already know, it's a lifelong thing you have to deal with.  the checkups, the worrying that every little pain or every mole or every cough might be your cells mutating and multiplying.  sounds paranoid, i know, but after hearing the doctors tell you you will always be at an extremely high risk, it's hard not to think that way.   i had mine when i was quite young.   i'd say the guys who had to deal with it in adult life deserve a  :salute the most.

Good on all the guys that beat cancer, and good on Anodizer for getting through the opiate withdrawal.  I don't think anybody who's gone through either of those has any yardstick for comparison.

MASSIVE food poisoning had me going through AHTbolt's symptoms for 3 days straight.  The first 2 days, I was afraid I was going to die.  On the third day, I was afraid I wasn't going to die.

well I had very severe stomach pain about 13 years ago.....so severe I could not verbalize words, crawled out of my bathroom on my knees, my buddy that was there was like "dood you need to go to the hospital?"....all I could do was nod my head

(trust me I am not one to go to the hospital, I had a gator almost ripped 3 fingers off and never went)

in the emergency room, the nurse asked me on the scale of 1-10 what is the pain level?  I yell "its a  fluff'n 15"  10 minutes later they where shooting me up with Demoral......next four days I was on Demoral and Morphine....after 4 days they took me off the Morphine and just kept me on the 6 minute drip demoral

(when they combine Demoral and Morphine you get serious Hallucinations  :D


come to find out I had acute Pancreantitus and should be dead....

I spent 1 month in the hospital and was tube feed...for the next 3 half months I had a visiting nurse and was tube feed at home.....so imagine 4 and 1 half months I lived and not one bit of food could I eat.......

I have seen 3 people die myself of what I have....I should have been dead, but yet here it is 13 years later and still struggling with it....if I eat to much fat I will get the stomach pains so I try to keep my fat intake low.....I am supposed to only eat 10 grams of fat a day :O

I went from 270 to 175 in 6 months.....hehe shoulda heard the rumors.....
