Sleep Acnea (sp?). It's when you stop breathing in your sleep. I jolted awake every time it happened and it took my brain a couple seconds each time to wake up enough to get the lungs functioning again.

(Well, truth be told, it all happened because of a cold. Now that it's gone, I'm better, but I don't want to put up with Sleep Acnea again.)
Sleep Apnea:)

Basically a hole in my heart that let oxygen rich blood mix with unoxygenated blood. so i collapsed 4 days after i was born and had surgery to block up the hole. never had anything more major than that happen to me since.

Severe atopic eczema since birth which is a constant pain & doesn't help your self esteem when you're literally covered head to toe. ¬_¬

G.A.D I guess can be a medical condition? Generalised anxiety disorder. Mainly depersonalisation/derealisation & tension headaches are symptoms o' mine.

Doesn't help both of them feed off stress and both cause stress as is. -_- Le sigh.

Had cancer once. Chemo, and two surgeries. One of them they took my insides out temporarily (all of them). Then had my left shoulder rebuilt after a 4 wheeler accident. Other than that, I rarely get sick.

Its more an injury than a medical condition but I got kicked in the face and broke my nose that's the best I've got seeing as I've somehow avoided getting anything particularly nasty despite leading a very unhealthy lifestyle.

While hiking I tripped onto some jagged rocks and ended up slicing the side of my left forearm open up to the elbow. Fortunatly it didn't get infected, that didn't make the 2 hour trip to the nearest hospital any less painful though.

Swine Flu...

It is just the worst, I was in bed for 2 weeks, barely eating or drinking anything. On cold nights I felt like I was going to be so cold that I was going to die even though I had a huge fever. I felt so cold that I put my head and whole body under the covers to try and stay warm. The times that I did get out of bed I shivered and felt freezing. My mum took my temperature when I was feeling cold and said I was over 40 deg. My lungs also felt like they were burning all the time like there open wounds on over my wind pipes.

In short, don't get swine flu.

Worst I've had is kidney stones, but I've had 5 of them since I was 15 (21 now).
ME too!! I had one when I was 17, passed it without going to the hospital or anything. I actually have one right now. I had to send everyone home from D&D sunday night when I couldnt take the pain anymore. I still haven't passed it.
Oof, I feel for ya pal. They are not fun in the slightest. I had a pair in the same kidney linger for over a year once. It sucked HARD. I really hope you can pass it; I think it's far worse if they have to put a stint in you. I could barely walk 50 ft. when I had one, and climbing up the stairs in my apartment was torture.

Pneumonia was probably the worst, but salmonella pissed me off more.

[sub]Otherwise fairly healthy.[/sub]

Sunday night my douchebag brother took me to the wrong side of the hospital, so I had to walk like 100 metres up a long slope. Morphine made it all better though, it let me sleep. Right now I'm tolerating it with weed and T3s.

Non-bacterial prostatitis... basically it's the doctors telling you "we don't know what the fuck is wrong with you so we diagnose you with this".

broke a sesamoid bone in the ball of my foot. waited too long to get treated, so had to get it surgically removed. the surgeon cut a nerve there that screwed up the feeling in my foot ever since. apparently the nerve was "in the way".

I don't really get sick or injured much so I'm having trouble thinking of something...

Last November I couldn't hear anything out of my left ear for the entire month.
That actually worried me because my hearing is already not great and hearing issues run in my family.
Never figured out what the problem was because I couldn't afford to go to any doctor other than the free ones on campus, and to be honest they don't really give enough of a crap to be trusted.

Chronic Insomnia. I've tried everything to sleep, but it never works.
As someone that just got up after lying down for 5 hours with no sleep, I agree it sucks. My insomnia is linked to my anxiety.

As for me.

The last few years (beginning signs 10 years ago that slowly developed over time) I've come down with a chronic anxiety neurosis linked to a developed social phobia. It just came out of nowhere about a year or so ago and has increased to the point I literally collapse with no control with tingling shaking numb hands, feet and jaw in public half the time with dizziness, weakness and blurred vision. Its terrifying and has f-ed up my life. I've been forbidden to work by my GP after seeing 2 doctors and 2 specialists and have been placed on disability. Before this developed I never even knew anxiety/phobia could do this to you. Its crippling. I can't even sleep sometimes.

Death. twice.

Actually I'm a light-weight here as I haven't experienced much. I did get Shingles in high school though so that's pretty special.

This. Oddly enough same quantity. More oddly, same timespan (15-21).

...I'm keeping my eye on you.
