I guess when the bad fairy showered sicknesses or diseases to the world,I got most of them,yay! Ever since I was a child,I'm always in the hospital,said my parents. I had so many sicknesses from birth til now. And I could say that the worst I had was having myomas during my pregnancy. I was diagnosed of having a breast cancer too but the sacrifices and the pain I underwent is nothing compared to having myomas since my baby is in danger too. My ob-gyne said my baby wont last nine months in my womb and that she will only die but God is good,He spared us! We were able to survive and that's the miracle I will never ever forget in my whole life!
Have you had the worst sickness in your life? How did you cope up with it?

Hello mtr,
I am sorry to listen all of your sufferings dear. At the same time I am glad that you recovered from all those and now having a healthy life. I don’t have such dreadful diseases till now but I remember my parents told that in childhood I would have die with some serious disease and they even given the last drop of water (lol) but I am still living.
God is really great and nothing will happen without His knowledge.
Take care and be happy always.

I see! Since you said it's from apple,can it also be okay to drink for those who have constipation? 'Cause I know apples can make stools harder and are not advised for constipated people.

I´m glad all your problems seem to be on hand now, mtrguanlao. I have had my share of illnesses too, but now I´m on chemo for a lymphoma. I don´t know what will happen as this has no cure. But cancers generally don´t get cured but have remisions so I will have to wait what will happen.

Hi marguicha!
I'm saddened to know that lymphoma has no cure. I have no idea about this cancer and I hope you feel no pain. I guess you just have to live a healthy living. There are lots of alternative and natural medicines for cancer preventions now. They can stop the spreading of the cancer cells,that's what I underwent with my cancer before and I was cured!
Wishing you well!

I agree to everything you've said. I too take the advantage of the medicines,that's why they are made,for us to live without pains and be healed.
Yes,pain in our hearts is worse than any physical pains.

Hi Mtr
You know what, I felt that I have most of the illness
I am suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis and because of these two, I stay at home. The problem with Arthritis is not that severe as many know what it is about and I dont have much explanations to give. But with that UC, many many just dont know. When I tell them about it, they say, oh so you have a bad stomach, why dont you take this or that...
Unfortunately, because of this UC, I am not able to find any full time regular job, neither am I able to go out to any party or even to my relatives who stay in different states. This is what I feel bad about my UC illness the most. And they say it is non-curable.

They will offer me great food as they know I am quite a freak and love eating. That is one big problem,and the other is the disease forces me to use the toilet more often and in our homes there we mostly have one toilet... good for normal people but quite a problem for me

Hello dear Sids!
I didn't know we can have arthtritis at an early age,I mean you're just 35 if I'm not mistaken,hehe! My uncle had an arthritis and he wasn't able to walk for weeks,that's how painful it is!
So that explains buddy why you look slim,I guess you are not allowed to eat all of the food you want,am I right about it? You should be drinking milk,I heard when someone has an ulcer,milk is required. I don't understand why you can't go to your relatyives in different states Sids.

I'm sorry if I'm being inquisitive here my friend. When did you have this illnesses? I know it's hard and very tiring but I know you're a strong man buddy! It may be frustrating at times 'cause I had those frustrations when I had those illnesses but I just thought of my kids that they need me and that kept me strong. I'm sure your wife is enough reason for you to keep going Sids.
Stay healthy my dear friend! I will pray to Him for you to give you strength everyday.

Well I never got really sick ever since I was a kid and I hope it stays that way too. Anyway I remember maybe about 2 years ago I was feeling not ok. I mean I don't think i had any disease or whatsoever but I just felt unwell inside me. It took me about half a year to recover. And I think that was the baddest and worst I had ever felt.

Just do not forget to feed you mind with positive thinking that you will be healed with the help of God since you already got one miracle. I only had the recurrence of UTI or urinary tract infection because I oftentimes forget to drink water, I am a coffee addict that instead of water I take coffee more than water. The reason why the concentration of sugar in my bladder is high and that knowing that my sugar level is slightly higher than normal. I chilled due to a very high fever and could stand, and gosh my prescribed antibiotic is too much to bear than my sickness and so I promised myself to abide by the law of drinking 8 glasses of water a day.

Hi there!
Yes,that's what I do,I've always been thinking positive for the sake of my kids even if sometimes I'm loosing hope and feels so tired of all my sicknesses.
I had uti too before and I don't understand why I was diagnosed of having it 4 times,oh my! Now,I am also consuming more than 8 glasses a day but there are still times that I drink less than 8 glasses,yay!

When I was growing up as a child I had rashes all over my body. The scars it left behind is still evident even after 2 decades have passed. Also, when I was in High-school i would get frequent headaches and that was one of the worst times i could ever remember. I still get migraine headache but it has considerably reduced to few times a week. I usually try to get rid of by taking Dispirin and also try to divert my mind by involving myself in some other work that interests me

Hi narthan!
The rashes you had must be the cause of chickenpox,I guess. I also had migraine and I was advised not to eat chocolates and drink tea as this triggers the migraine. And also you should not stay awake for long at night.
Take care of your health!

I haven't had any serious diseases like cancer. The worst disease that I had was mononucleosis. At first I was ill for some months. I had to spend much of the time in bed, I was yellow in my face and I was feeling awful. I also very, very tired. I had no energy at all. When I was getting dressed I couldn't put on all my clothes at once, I had= to take many breaks and a rest for a while before I was able to continue. I couldn't eat anything and I had to drink some protein drinks instead. I spent some time at the hospital and then I got back to my home and rested in my own bed the rest of the time.
After some months I got better and I my energy slowly returned. Unfortunately the illness wasn't complete gone and in the next two years it suddenly returned for short periods of time. It wasn't nearly as bad as the original illness, but I had some days every once in while where I was ill. Now the illness is completely gone and I haven't had any problems for a year.

Hi porcospino!
I'm learning so much from my discussion,I'm getting to know diseases that I do not know. It's really my first time to know about mononucleosis,you made me research for it,I just want to know its symptoms and causes. I learned that the treatment should be bed rest and no sports activity and it lasts for 4-6 weeks. I sometimes feel very tired but I have no fever. Must be so hard to feel it too! But I'm glad that you're doing great now. Thank you for sharing your story,learned something new here.
Take care!

I am sorry that you have had to go through so many sicknesses in your life. Maybe you will get relief from now on and not get all those sicknesses. Thank you Lord that she will not have all those sicknesses!
I can't think of anything real bad that I have had except a tumor growth in my lower abdomen which I had surgery on when I was 10--many many years ago. Other than that the childrens sicknesses that we all get and colds, viruses, flus and those things. I have been blessed.

Good thing you're okay now. You are really blessed to have a healthy life!

Hi amiga.... i have been suffering from this stupid fever from weeks till date. I have checked doctors but not a quick and smart result is found. Well, now fever is no more but backbone and joint pain is too hard to suffer along with dry cough. Hence, now its the worst sickness for me.
All diseases are painful.... Hope you are more fine now than childhood. have a nice time and hugs to crystal.

Hi amigo!
Fever is really up nowadays due to sudden change of weather and if a person has a weak immune system,he/she easily gets it. Consume more water for your dry cough amigo,it works! I guess these backbone and joint pains are already signs of aging,hehe! I'm already feeling it too,waaaa!!!!

I think I am a bit lucky in this department as the worst illness I ever got, for me, is having a very bad cough, colds, and fever. Whenever I get attacked by these ailments I'd feel like it's the end of the world. It is terrible to be sick.

Hi nezavisima!
I'm happy to know that you had no difficulties in delivering your twins. Might be so hard in delivering two babies at one period.
I wish you good health too!

Hi there!
I don't understand why your mother would not want to help you or I just misunderstood it. Can you explain it further?
Having a depression for 14 years is my first time to hear,didn't know one can have such depression for such a long time. I just hope you wont miss taking your medications.

Thanks God that i don't have the most sickness like others.. and sad to say as you my dear friend. How i wish and pray for you to become happy always to accept all the struggles in life. But as i see, you are too near and dear to our God and that is the "most" you ever had. In my case the most i had was when i got the chicken fox. Because that time i am in the process of going out for travel to another country and because of the chicken fox i cancelled everything. Many reasons too behind everything.... As i know because of that hindrance i postponed all important transactions which is mean more to me...
have a nice day..!

Hi mods!
You are lucky to have no serious sicknesses at all!
I think that chickenpox had a reason. Maybe God doesn't want you to go to those transactions of yours 'cause there might be something bad that will happen. I remember when we are suppposed to go for an outing but we really ca't explain all the dealys that happened so we thought there might be somethinmg bad that will happen that's why we did not push it through.
