My entire family had contracted the "stomach flu" and I thought I was blessed with an amazing immune system to not contract it.
Then it happened.
I had taken precautions, but it still wasn't pretty.
The worst part had to have been the next day. Trying to avoid the night before only made me feel worse.
I really hate the annual stomach flu. My life would be considerably happier if it was a one-time thing, I assure you.
Can't compare with a near death experience.

Food poisoning. I was throwing up every ten minutes and ruined three pairs of underwear. After my stomach had been emptied of everything else, I started throwing up some strange yellow goo. No idea what that was.

The worst time I was ever ill I was vomiting every 20 minutes on the mark. It was awfull. Sitting in bead not being able to sleep because when I tried I vomited all over my bed. Eventually I ran out of vomit, with the ice cream tub full of my stomach fluid. I emptied it but my body was still trying to throw up. There nothing to come out. It hurt so much vomiting nothing that I forced myself to drink water just so that I would throw up something.

The worst part of ilnesses for me is the realisation that you are going to be ill. You get it and you can tell it is only going to get worse. I hate that feeling.

Actually having your mum look at you crying saying "it's going to be ok, it's going to be ok." That was the worst point. I had visions of me dying for a few moments...before I fell asleep again.
Exactly
That's just what I wanted from this thread, the worst moments ever. Must have been terrifying. I'm lucky, all my near-death experience happened before I can remember.

How'd you get pneumonia incidentally?
No clue. I went to an indoor water park for my birthday about a week prior to developing symptoms. So my parents think it was due to that (dad's a doctor, mum's a former nurse). A nice humid, warm breeding ground for virus' and bacterium alike. What was interesting was that it wasn't the strain normally found in the UK. It was from the middle east. Amazing how virus' can travel isn't it?

I'm going through it right now. I'm undergoing chemotherapy for blood cancer and it is the toughest thing I have ever done. Combine that with a lowered immune system causing a near-fatal C-Dif infection and its taking everything I have to make it through this.
Ah that really sucks, best of luck and get well as soon as possible.

OT: Ermm compared to everyone else in this thread I haven't really had anything to complain about.

I've gotten a migraine headache, and one of the side effects was me not being able to see.
Combined with crippling pain.
Pretty much that, I've gotten the super positive news that I've heired (Right word?) constant headache from my mother, and sometimes extreme headache-seizures.

And because I like to complain, I'll tell in detail how that feels like:

1. It starts with me losing feeling in any bodypart, but most often either my arms or my tongue.
2. Misspelling or even forgetting normal words occurs.
3. Headache starts to come.
4. Sudden, pulsing pain through the right or left side of my head, sometimes both.
5. The pain becomes unbearable, and fields of sight starts to turn into white, empty areas.
6. Excruciating pain occurs, most times I can't walk or talk and 99% of my field of view is completely white. In other words: Completely immobilized.
7. (Happens very rarely) Can't see a thing, can't move and the headache is extremely awful for several days. Often followed by a week of light headache.

That's my headaches, but the worst ones have just ocurred about 3 times in 2 years.

Appendicitus. Constant abdominal pain, vomiting, splitting headaches. And its potentially fatal. I'm not going to claim its worse than other people's experiences but it's pretty awful. Trust me.

Starting to black out in a train bathroom, and then six months of migraines and dizziness afterwards. That's a hoot

But man, gastroenteritis :| unlucky...

The time I fucked up my toe so that it was excruciatingly painful every time I tried to move it, then it started spasming for about half an hour.

In 2004, I started showing symptoms that eventually resulted in me needing nose and sinus surgery. They had to clean out my diseased sinuses, repair my septum, and take out a chunk of deformed bone, all though my nose.
Afterward, I was so fragile and dizzy that I couldn't move. I had major sinus pains and aches and headaches. Blood was continually coming out of my nose, which was covered with gauze to catch it.I was stuck in that bed for a week. I couldn't taste or smell anything, and I was in such pain that I would literally count down to when I could take painkillers again. I couldn't even sleep. It was a terrible experience that I hope no one ever has to go through.

Worst part of an illness? Getting better? I mean I can skip school while I'm ill, everyone is nice to me and I get candy from my grandma. This vanishes as soon as I get better.

Well there was this one time at work. The fever slowly got worse and I overworked(which means I have to stay til 1am). The company offers free cab to those who overwork, so I went for that. At the end they told me that I couldn't take the cab because I lived too far away, so I had to ride the bike home. Which means about 12 miles on bicycle with about 39 degree celcius fever. Probably the worst moment for me. Especially because I had to stop a lot because the fever drained a lot of my energy. When I got home I was freezing and had fever and shaked a lot. Fortunately this fever only lasted a day.

Once I had some sort of stomach bug, and to get it out without warning or control over my body every so often I would crap my pants and vomit at the same time. The worst part about it was not being able to control it or even knowing when it would happen, and no I did not resort to wearing a diaper (Though I must've gone through stacks of underpants...and many buckets).

I hate taking a shit when sick. When I'm sick I usually have a headache caused by high blood pressure in my head. Taking a shit serves to raise the blood pressure in my body even more, increasing the ferocity of the headache. It's never fun.

I had food poisoning so bad that while I was sitting on the toilet with the worst diarrhea ever, I threw up too. Both ends at the same time. I basically exploded.
