seriously

I came down with... something... on new years eve that cancelled my plans for that evening

and it's still sticking around

I've just spent the last two hours tossing and turning despite being incredibly tired

that's just how it is with me and getting sick, really

I don't get sick very often, but when I do, I'm completely incapacitated for days

I know there are some of your out there doing far, far worse than me as far as health goes

but I still feel like shit

what are your tales of illness, SE++?

anything interesting?

    My right index finger, something slipped up under the nail and split the skin from the nail. Almost a month ago. Then every day something else would slip up under when I would reach to grab something or flip a page in a book or whatever; it never had a chance to heal. Got infected.

    Ran a full run of keflex, and the infection is still there down to right above the first knuckle. Started a run of clindamycin today and fuuuuck I hope it works

    I lost 15 lbs. in one week while being 140 for starters.

    a 102 fever for a week straight can do that to you.

    That was three years ago, and I haven't been seriously sick since. Just sniffles and colds and shit.

    There was this time in my life where I was being stupid, and I later thought, man you know I really probably should have gotten an STD through that whole ordeal...

    And then it turns out that some STD's incubate for like a year...and it turned out I did have an STD.

    when I was 12 or 13 I started getting consistent ingrown toenails on my big toes, and those always, always got infected

    we never went to the doctor for them because of the whole homeopathic-mom-doctors-are-the-devil thing

    I ended up getting like six surgeries on each of them over the course of maybe two years

    my toes are still really super sensitive and the big toes are none too pretty because of the surgeries, and on bad days I actually have a limp

    woohoo

    Actually, that IS pretty crazy when it comes to sexual activity

    It's true. For instance, one can protect you from life-threatening diseases and getting girls pregnant, and the other can't.

    Trojan makes this self-warming lubed condom that, while not exactly like the real thing, makes for a very good time while guaranteeing no terrible dick diseases. I refuse to use any other kind.

    like, what does a urine test test for

    because there is exactly one std I might have and I realllly don't want anything going in the out door

    Anyway...this was just a dumb phase. Years later, a condom broke on me one night and I flipped shit, took a lot of precautions the next day as far as Plan B goes, etc. It's not like I'm always a dumbshit.
