Worst Part of Being Sick

Featured Replies

Posted

Being a former music major, I used to think the absolute worst way to be sick was having a sore throat. I couldn't eat or drink well, I couldn't sing well, and ack! Awful.

 

When you get sick, what in your opinion is the worst part of being sick? Fever? Puking? Stuffy nose? Coughing? *ahem* the Other Stuff?

 

Now that I've come to the lovely morning (and afternoon, and night) sickness of my pregnancy, I've decided the absolute worst thing about being sick, is throwing up. Especially when you are doing about four times a day. :(

 

So what is it for you? Tell me!

I'd have to say it's a tie between the general feel of being sick and the runny/stuffy nose. Whenever I get sick, one side of my nose gets stuffed up completely (so I'm only breathing from one nostril) and the other side is drippy so my nose ends up being completely scraped raw by me rubbing it all of the time. The general feeling of being sick sucks just as much, though. I can deal with the coughing and the sneezing, but the actual feeling is just horrendous. I once had a cough for six months and it didn't really bother me beyond not being able to stop it once it started so I'd cough for a couple of minutes turning red and such. Was annoying.

the wordt part for me id NOT throwing up, you know? when you're super nauseous for ages and it just gets worse and worse and you start thinking 'if i could just vomit, i'd feel better'

I think the worst thing about being sick is when your head feels cloudy and you cannot think straight.  You are always walking around, wondering what you were doing.

Yay Pukah!

HOLY F**KING SH*T IS PUKAH!??!?!?!!?

 

 

And.

Not being able to breathe whenever you eat, because your nose is stuffed, and your mouth is full.

 

*laughs* Now that's an amusing image.

 

"*thinks* Okay, here we go. *puts food in mouth and starts eating as fast as possible, swallows, and then gasps for breath* Yes! Made it through another."

hmm either puking or having a sore throat would be the worst, mid October I had a cist in my toncile that swelled up to the size of a golf ball (you toncile should be and stay the size of a dime in diameter typically...)

 

I couldn't eat or sleep for two days straight, we walked into the doctors office and they barely bothered numbing me before cutting because i was in so much pain over my throat I wouldn't have noticed them cutting away at my throat (and I didn't)

 

but I can see how puking 4 times a day would suck as well

i think the not sleeping is the worst...when you can't breathe and toss and turn...EHK!!
