I hate, absolutely hate, having stomach flue. It's terrible. When you get the chills then your way too hot with a fever. You can never get comfortable and everything aches. You hit a part of your body off something just lightly and it hurts like hell. Then theres the nausea, throwing up. I hate throwing up. Then you get all delirious. I hate not being able to eat at all, you get so weak. And the fact your pretty much immobile forever, not able to do anything sucks! I would much rather have a cold where I can still move around and do things like clean, where as when I have stomach flue, I am not getting out of bed!

For me, I find it very difficult to deal with stomachache.
I lose my concentration and everything else if my stomach hurts!

oh yes it does! That is the reason why I need to always know where the nearest toilet is in a mall or hotel so that in case it happens, I know where to go.

there are many but some are the worst to irritate, they are as follows:-
1. teeth ache
2. ear ache
3. stomach pain
4. head ache
Thats enough, as I have not experienced anything more than that.

I hate being sick in general! It is a luxury I cannot afford! When I say that I mean that I cannot afford the luxury of staying in bed for an extended period of time! I agree colds are most annoying and the most common ailment like headaches and hay fever. My sister suffers from migraines and gets one at least once a month and it makes her very miserable! I do my best to take care of myself and only the occasional colds gets me down...I feel pretty good most of the time...

Hi, eshaan. The condition of a sore throat is one that irritates me the most. I can't eat, talk or swallow. I have to be able to do these things when awake. It is so painful. Another sickness would be feeling nauseated. I don't like this feeling at all, it makes me sick to my stomach. And diarreah is another one. Having to go to the bathroom constantly is not very comfortable. I can't sleep like I would want to without always having to take a tour to the bathroom. I hope that you will feel better much soon. Take care of yourself!

The type of cold that makes me sneeze constantly for days. If I'm really bad off I call in sick, and can stay at home and sleep it off. If I'm not that bad at all, I can take some pills and be alright.
But when it's not bad enough to stay home, but bad enough that medicine doesn't work, then I'm just horribly awfully miserable.

twice a month is to much...that means half of your month goes in cold...try doing some Yoga, that helps ...i didnt had cold from the time I had been doing it, but recently i got busy due to some personal reasons, and couldnt take out time for Yoga, and thats why got in the grip of cold...

How I hate having cold, cough and fever. I really can't stand those and it is so easy for those illnesses to take their toil on my health.
Stomachache and toothache come next. I'm just glad that the last time I experienced having toothache was when I was still in grade 1.:-)
I believe every single illness makes us uncomfortable and irritable. Nobody wants to feel pain.
Merry Christmas, Eshaan:-)

Any sickness that make me depend on my family members irritates me eshaan. But it is not in our hands. We can only pray that we should never be a burden to any one with our sickness.

I think colds and flu are my most hated maladies as well, I've given up taking medicines now apart from headache tablets if I have a really bad, persistant headache.
Plenty of fluids, keeping warm and escaping for a few extra hours a day under a warm blanket works wonders for me.

i too avoid medicines as much as i can...but when it has grown too much then i take a single tablet..late i take some herbal or ayurvedic medicines..which help me get rid of cold and cough slowly ..instead of immediate blocking with many side effects of allopathic medicines...
