Shivers and Shakes

RedTide

Well it seems that cold and flu season has descended upon us and that those little viral dipshits are in the process of making peoples lives miserable and invisibly covering the worlds doorknobs in a fresh coat of invisible filth.

So thats basically what half of this thread about, what sort of (relatively) minor bullshit is making you an insufferable cry baby to the people you work/screw/live with? Alternately we can also touch on our all time greatest (worse?) maladies, but if we do that, Stale and Munkus gotta promise to stay the hell away from the thread till page 50 or so. Munkus' story never changes and Stale seems to have some new horror to reveal so I figure we should just dodge him "winning" the thread until its mostly run its course.

I mean seriously, we'd have to be dead or in a Hawking mobile to beat you, we know this, stop bringing us down.


But yeah, I'm just coming off a cold that produced enough snot to fill up a vat, and it made me miserable for the better chunk of a workweek.

As far as a all time bang-up though, I've only got a skull fracture from when I was seven under my belt. Considering it wasn't due to a malicious brain parasite being in charge of my motor control section of the brain (and hes been drinking no less), I doubt that boo-boo is gonna hold up.

the wook

Last week I flexed so hard I shattered my mirror, which has left me horribly disfigured from the shrapnel

sh-sh
SHAKIN' ALLL OVER

Vmikesmitty

I haven't been sick in three years.

Cerrius

I pulled a muscle in my back second week after weight training started again. Still giving me problems. But the worst i've had all year is when I tore some ligaments in my right ankle. Its still more swollen then the other ankle and still causes random pain.

Fiz

I won't have to venture out much this month other than for rehearsals, and the general rule there is that if you are sick stay the fuck away from the rest of us. It'd be nice if I caught the flu and spent a week or two throwing up all the holiday weight I plan to put on.

redhead

my current problem is poor circulation in my hands and feet (mostly the feet)

they're cold all the damn time in winter

makes me appreciate warm baths even more than usual, though

Mathilda

Worst I've had that I can remember was pneumonia.

That or chicken pox.

Can't decide which.

I currently have a stupidly annoying cough that just will not go the fuck away.

Abracadaniel

I was sick for the first time in years a few weeks ago.

Air

i once had some inner ear infection thing and was kinda in a daze and couldnt hear properly for a couple of weeks

then i had exams so i went to a doctor to get out of them and a couple days later i was 100% better

Air

maybe most sick ive been was when i got bad food poisoning in germany a few days before i had to fly home

diarrhea and vomiting like fucking clockwork
after a while there was nothing left to vomit so i had to keep drinking water just to have somethin to vomit because i was just retching up bile
missed out on getting stoned with my uncle and a friend who was also travelling and had come up from switzerland with some weed

then i went to a doctor and a couple days later i was 100% better

Weretaco

My doctors current theory is I have a severe case of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) so I'm currently rocking some anti-anxiety medication which is supposed to calm down the chaos that is my digestive tract. It works about.. 90% of the time which is good I guess. I'm also on my 3rd month waiting to just get my appointment to see a specialist for a colonoscopy so thats Canadas free medical system for you. All i need now is some crazed doctor to remove my ass and I can be Munkus the second.

redhead

my worst medical malady was definitely a terrifying grand mal seizure, but chances are Jordyn's got me beat on that one

it was pretty scary, though

Little Jim

it is so cold that my balls have taken permanent residence in my stomache

I wish I could join them

Air

apparently i fractured my skull when i was like 1 or 2 years old or something and my head was like jelly and i was kept under observation for a while to see if there was evidence that my parents were abusive

but from what i hear i didnt give a shit about it and was still running around like nothing was up so it was all good and soon i was 100% better

if you succeed at this I want a video

Little Jim

ha ha air was dropped on his head as a child

Theidar

Worse disease for me would be Lyme Disease.

Just got over a URI. Its nice to be able to smell again.

ZeroFill

the only thing that made me sick in the last year was the fucking flu shot I got about a month ago

it wasnt that bad, but how annoying

Lardalish

Is this a thread about Jordyn?

Air

i got a disfiguring scar on the back of my left knee from an operation when i was 5
i dunno what it was for

tugga

i tend to have a large amount of blood in my stool from time to time

but not regularly

Weretaco

i wish i had some.. then i could get an emergency colonoscopy. Instead i have to wait 6-8 months

Weaver

My hands have been shaky for nigh on 4 years

TSR

My hands shake too. It sucks

I haven't been sick enough to throw up in probably 7 or 8 years, which is great. I still get colds though.

Centipede Damascus

I haven't ever had the flu or chicken pox or pneumonia

also I don't have any wisdom teeth

it's like I'm some sort of superbeing

Demi Gourd

I haven't been sick all year. I've even been sitting right next to sick people too.
I just keep telling myself that I won't get sick. Maybe this works some how?

mully

i'm always sick because i never take enough time off to get better, because i feel guilty when i even take one day, and so i end up taking another day the next month because it gets worse.

worst sickness... when i was 17, i had an illness where i was throwing up every morning. no, it was not called 'pregnancy'. i had a bronchial infection or something that was causing my mucous to pool overnight and dry, and for some reason, as soon as id go to breathe in deeply when i woke up, i'd gag and be unable to breathe until I threw up.

i was pretty much terrified to go to sleep for an entire week.
i thought i'd wake up dead.

that sucked pretty hard.

Air

were you pregnant

Fiz

When I was a kid I didn't really understand how to burp. It became a problem because I swallow a lot of air when I eat, which causes a buildup of gas in my stomach that will lead to vomiting if it isn't expelled. My parents would go nuts because I was always throwing up after eating anything.

This winter is going to suck if it stays this cold the entire time. How are we supposed to take a decent picture of our genitals if our testicles have decided to seek warmth up North? I ask you.

Teevirus

Day seven of being off the h-train.

Had some shivers and shakes for the first four days, to say the least.

And now I'm getting a cold, which I almost welcome, comparatively.

Does h-train mean heroin?

Fiz

Oooh, heroin. That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking.

DirtyDirtyVagrant

I get sick exactly once per year for 6-12 hours.

Chills, fever, pain. And the kind of stomach fits where you cant decide whether to sit on the toilet or stick your face in it.

Come to think of it, it's been about one year.

Agent Vesago

I got a flu shot and it gave me bronchitis.

That's the last time I ever got a flu shot.

Glorfindel

i had some gastro infection a little while back
just non-stop vomiting and diarrhoea for a week; good way to lose weight

also, I've had a reconstruction on my shoulder and three cortisone injections into it
years of swimming 80+ km does that I guess

Phil316

i thought he meant ho-train

Big Red Tie

right now i have a cold
its not too bad...
i think my worst injury is breaking my wrist in tug-o-war
it was elevated, whose idea was it to make elevated tug-o-war

Said shake appeal, move so fast on me
Shake appeal, move so fast to see
Move so fast, move so fast
Move little misery

The Black Hunter

I had bacteria in my ear that dissolved all organic tissue it came into contact with.

My right ear is now a cavern.

Also I cant hear out of it.


And I get worse sniffs and that during summer.

Penguin Incarnate

I think we're going to need more information than that.
