Hi folks. Well, the title says it all:

What was the worst disease you ever had? WHY?

The answer must be 7 or more words long (according to the AG Rules), so state why that disease was the worst.

The worst disease I've ever had was sinusitis: a general headache bugged me. The pain was all over my head and was very strong. I could barely stand up.

I've never had a "disease", but once I had this really bad virus for about 3 days. I didn't eat anything for a day. So whenever I stood up, I was ridiculously dizzy. My stomach was always aching, I had a monster headache whenever someone talked, and I get shivering and shivering even under 5 blankets. It was worse than pneumonia, which is pretty bad. I don't believe it had a name, but it was the worst experienced 3 days ever.

Does strep throat count? It's when the back of your throat feels like it's got glass in it and you're constantly coughing. I had it for about 2 weeks.

2 weeks? Wow. The longest I've had it was 4 days.
Oh, in case any of you do have strep, try to drink some milk. It soothes it very much.

By disease I mean anything that maked you feel sick. (The worst sickness you ever had)

I have had something strange, a series of sinus infections that has been plaguing me for a few years. I have no idea what it is or what would have caused it. I haven't gotten sick for a while from it, but my ears still ring annoyingly sometimes.

Sinus infections? That's basically sinusitis. Have you ever made a X-Ray of those sinus?

Yeah I was surprised how long it lasted too. The worst part is I had it over...spring break! *Dramatic Music*

That's the thing. It's impossible to eat or drink anything without it feeling like i'm eating knives (I actually didn't eat anything for 3 days). I'm just glad it's over.

Usually I don't get anything worse than a terrible cold: stuffy nose, lots of coughing, sore throat, headache, chills, occasional puking, etc. The only good thing that comes from it is extreme perception. I can hear a fruit fly hit a window when I'm that ill.

I got the flu once and had to be out of school for a week and a half. It was painful. I had to sit on the couch with a blanket and do nothing but cough, watch tv, and play video games. I would play video games all day any way but not having the option to do anything was painful

The worst disease I've ever had, and still have is asthma. I have it now and will probably have it as long as i live. It also makes colds worse and i hate it with a passion. But i've learnt to deal with it.

Well, I haven't had anything bad, really. I've had a fever for a few days.

I tend to be generally health. I have astigmatism, and had to have eye surgery when I was a baby (like literally days after I was born). I also had tubes in my ears (not as bad).

Two years ago, I had something that made me have "spells" of coughing that lasted up to ten seconds or so. The coughs would get pretty bad at times, especially at first. I contracted it in February, and didn't rid the remnants of it until May... I think it may have been Pertussis, but I didn't ever make the signature "whooping" sound... It was odd.

I had influenza with 41°Celsius/106°F and really felt bad. Sorry if the Fahrenheit-number is wrong, I just googled "41° Celsius"

Well, this isn't a "disease," but my body was definitely NOT "at ease."

I get poison ivy all the time, extremely severe! (In fact, I have it now!) I get it all over my body, around my eyes, between my fingers, legs, arms, chest, back, neck, EVERYWHERE! It usually ends up with me going and getting a cortisone shot.
