AWKWARD ZOMBIE

a flu that could have killed me... oh how fun

Either Chicken pox, influenza, or pinkeye.

I have pinkeye right now. It's no fun.

I just flashbacked to South Park and muttered about Worcestershire sauce...

Things I am allergic to:

Milk fat (HORRIBLY allergic)
Yeast
Garlic
Aspartame (aka: all diet soft drinks)
Caffiene
Tea
Mint
Spice
Dust
Pollen (actual allergy, not hayfever; particularly annoying at christmas due to trees)
Fungi
Sugar (but really not by much)
Heavy moisture areas
Water in ears
Peanuts
Bananas
Grapes
Mould

That's all I can remember now


And that, my friend, is why monkeys do NOT make good pets!

So that's why you weren't here at school today!

Get well soon!

Now that I think about it, my worst sicknesses was PANK-eye as well, and a stomach bug.
nasty nasty stuff.....

Recently I was sick for a week and was basically bed-ridden. Which is kind of shitty considering I was in the middle of packing boxes, so I had to lay down for 15 minutes, get up for 15 minutes, lay back down for 15 minutes, etc.

My head was pounding so bad I couldn't move very much, or on the worst occassions, at all, without extreme pain that would sometimes make me black out. My joints, especially my knees, hurt like hell and made moving at all difficult. Thus the bed-ridden-ness.

I couldn't keep food down, and I would see flashes before my eyes and hear scratching noises coming from the walls. It was scary shit, especially when the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with my except a sore throat.

Worst sickness? Well, when I first moved to St. Louis I had multiple dizzy spells and my sense of vertigo would randomly disappear. Randomly collapsing and sometimes vomiting: fun times! After several visits to the hospital and a CAT-scan the doctors said I had fluid behind my eardrum. I took some pills and got better.

Worst disease? I have asthma. That's a disease. Doesn't affect me until I have to run more than a block.

Since people are posting their allergies as well and I want to be part of the club:

Nuts (Peanuts, walnuts, cashews, almonds... you name 'em. It's not that bad since restaurants/food chains/labels are more aware of it, but there was one time my friend and I shared an ice cream and they put walnuts on the bottom. Who the hell puts walnuts on the bottom of a sundae?! I do not want to die from asphyxiation, thank you.)
Shellfish (Same issue.)
Hay
Pollen
Cats/Dogs

I also get nosebleeds in winter because the air makes my nose too dry. Waking up to a pillow covered in blood: more fun times! :awesome:

You know, I had something similar to that before, although it didn't leave me bedridden. It happened twice during my last year of high school - my vision would start flashing, my head would start pounding, my skin grew cold and clammy, my knees began aching, and I felt all-around weak. Couldn't move at all. Luckily it stopped after a few minutes both times.

I still don't know why it happened. Friends think it might've been lack of sleep, but I'm not entirely sure.

Yaya, I know you already know this, but to everyone on the forum...

I found out it wasn't pinkeye. It was a stye. EW EW EW

They have drops that help out with that. The ones my dad brought me worked pretty well when I had one.

Ironic, this is my last year of high school too, but this is the first time it's happened. And the year is already more than half over for me.

The doctor said it was just a virus that was going around, like the flu, and it'd go away on its own, which it did. But he seemed really surprised to hear I was seeing flashes and stuff, because that wasn't something others that were affected were reporting.

I don't know what it was, but I wasn't able to swallow anything for a day.
Water? Nup.
Food? Nup.
Pills? Nup.
