What is your most hated "typical" short term body problem?

[Jacco]

For me its a toss up between canker sores and swollen taste buds.

Canker sores take forever to heal and manage to get into places that you can't avoid hitting them with your toothbrush and things you eat (like mustard) manage to get down into them.

swollen tastebuds suck because no matter where they form on your tongue, they make it nearly impossible to do anything that involves putting stuff in your mouth-- you know, like eating.


So, what is your most hated thing like that?

And does anyone have any home remedies for either of the things I listed? I have both right now. =[

fire ant bites, little buggers make life hell if it bites you. and cut on the inside of your mouth, i couldnt have mustard for a week after i cut myself eating.

Are canker sores what you call ulcers in America? Cause I've got one on my tongue and its really pissing me off.

EDIT: Oh and when you bite the inside of your mouth and you get a sore and then you keep biting it.

I'm allergic to insect bites, so they piss me off something chronic. A larger than average midge managed to put me on a crutch with a foot swollen to twice it's normal size. Still couldn't get table service at the local

Really dry lips, i just HAVE to lick them. I have to. The compulsion is strong. Why mind, do you make me lick them when that only makes it worse. Why am i conditioned to do that, is my mind evolved to be sadistic?

When it come to canker sores aka ulcer I just man up and put salt on it. Sure it hurt like hell but it get the job done at popping it and heal faster.
The alternative is to buy these oral gel called Bonjela. It soothing when place on the ulcer but it does take a few days to heal it (you do have to regularly put it on).

Yeh, this.

In the summer something got me in my sleep(window was open...). My arm practically doubled in size and was extremely hot, I was icing it in the sink all day.

having conjunctivitis in both eyes, i have it now and i cant see properly.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Hayfever.

It's not as bad as when I was a kid, but it makes summer an annoyance.

Feels like I have a cold for 3 months out of the year.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Insomnia. It really bites me in the ass.

 

[Daeric]

Heat Spots I really really hate Heat spots as they sit there just wanting to be itched and itched.

 

[Freaky Lou]

Canker sores have been mentioned more than once and I'll agree wholeheartedly. They really do make life miserable. I remember a week where I had four or 5 in my mouth at the same time because I just kept getting new ones. It was horrible.

I'll also contribute anything where you lose your voice. This can happen if you scream a lot at a concert or if you've got a really nasty sore throat, but it makes day-to-day life very awkward and difficult.

 

[Mr Fixit]

Not really typical, but i had Bells Palsy(terrifing way to say i had a damaged nerve in the face) for a little longer than a month, the entire right side of my face was paralysied for the entire time. I couldn't even close my eye on that side it just rolled back whenever i closed my other eye. I got some really freaky pictures out of it & my face still twitches alot even though its healed up.

This is gonna sound odd, but having an erection at any other time than, well, when I feel like it. My nether regions seem to be under the assumption that I'm incredibly popular with the ladies, when nothing could be further from the truth. It's embarassing, you can get distracted from work, it can even be kinda uncomfortable if you're just trying to get to sleep. Oh, for my mind to have complete and total control over my...other mind.

When i burn the roof of my mouth is my most annoying.

beheading.

try being attracted to your own gender, and being stuffed in a room with them and being all told to strip.

that sounds like some weird fetish rape-version of Saw...
imagine being bisexual/gay and having mandatory PE.

or that. especially from coffee. i love coffee, i hate the taste of coffee when my taste buds think they're being attacked by a flamethrower.
