Worst/Most irritating medical condition you've ever had?

[Captain_Fantastic]

I've had chronic neck pain most of my adult life due to an accident.Started at 17 and I'm 44 now.Pain is frequently 24/7 & I got so bad I was taking 3 packets(i.e 72 tablets total) of panadeine(codeine-paracetemol 10 mg each tab) to bear it and considered committing suicide.Doctors are amazed I'm not dead after taking such elephantine dosages when I'm a small woman.They put me on opiate meds a decade ago and I now actually get a pain relief for a good percentage of each day.I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

My current one because we have no idea what the fuck it is. Symptoms include...

Hair loss. Lack of appetite/physically repulsed by food. Insomnia. Easily bruising. Nausea. Consistent migraines. Dizziness/lightheaded. Lack of energy to the point where I can't walk up two flights of stairs.

Good times.

Does diabetes count?
I have that but it sounds worse than it is, I think.

Until you start losing feet and vision...

My longest, and only hospital stay, was caused by septic arthritis. I was on antibiotics for about two months. My joint was fine afterward though, so that's good.

*starts crying*

But seriously, that's only if you don't keep it under control.

 

[tombman888]

In grown toenails. Can't feel it right now, but every 4 months or so, it starts to hurt and disables my walking for a while =(

 

[Pipsquid]

Fucking Carpal tunnel syndrome. I remember I used to wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. I couldn´t play computer, write, fap or anything that included my wrist.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

almost every kid gets acne as a teen, but I got the biggest version of it (Acne Conglobata, or something like that) I had to take heavy medication and I still wear the scars on my back.

 

[Dragonforce525]

Well I've had epilepsy since I was 13 but isn't really all that bad, apart from not being able to drive and occasionally having a seizure it's pretty ok, the seizures themselves aren't bad it's just where I have them that's fucking annoying, a bad one would be if I have one on concrete especially if the concrete is gravelly that doesn't leave me looking pretty, but the worst one was when I was 16 and riding my bike, I wound up in the middle of the road with blood eeeeverywhere.

Oh also hemorrhoids, god damn those fuckers hurt, you spend all day walking around like you've been fisted by Zues and no matter how you position yourself you can never sit comfortably.

ADDITIONAL OFF TOPIC RANT

Oh also, why the fuck do chemists only hire pretty young girls to run their tills!? Going in to by some hemorrhoid cream is so much worse when the cashier is some hot 20 year old college girl, I mean no couple in the history of time has ever said "Well I first met Joanne when I came in to buy some anus cream."

 

[elcamino41383]

I have a mystery disorder that makes me vomit randomly quite often. I have had at least 10 doctors look at me with various diagnosis none of which turned out to be correct so they ended up saying fuck it and hoping that it goes away on it's own. Yeah life.

Sounds to me like you may have exactly what I have. GERD: Gastroesophageal Reflux disease. Don't see why you can't seem to be diagnosed with it though. I could very well be wrong, but I'm basically an involuntary bulimic too. It's generally not so random, however. I can usually tell from how I eat. Except those random coughing fits I sometimes get that end up causing it to happen. Those just sort of happen, but generally early in the morning...

I bet that's embarassing..

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Well, I've had the flu so bad I thought I would die, but that's about it.



Off topic:

Wow. How am I supposed to do that?

Only the word with the line through it is real, you could type anything for the other word and it would work.

OT: Not terribly bad but very scary not knowing what was happening to parts of me not often mentioned.

I had something to similar to this when I was younger as a result of an infection from an operation that my failsome doctors left untreated.
I've had the lining of my intestines ripped once..
And had leukaemia.

I'm doing great at life.

 

[Commissar Sae]

I have Familial Hypokalemia Periodic Paralysis. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like, every once in a while my body goes into full paralysis due to potassium loss. It's not so much that my body turns rigid as much as my muscles get so weak they can't lift my limbs.

Do I win?

 

[Oassis]

That one kind of cough that makes slime get stuck in your throat and lungs, god that was terrible.

This, but the difference is that my condition is going to be life long. Yeah, it sucks, but you get used to it after a while.

Apart from that, my most irratating condition has got to be when ticks were up in a newly built house that the family moved into. Ticks loved my ankles, and I got an extremly serious case of "I MUST SRATCH MY BLOODY LEG NOW OR AM SURE I WILL DIE!". It was very hard to resist and I still have some faint scars from the scratching.

 

[DrgoFx]

It's not an actual medical condition, but it was irritating.

tl;dr: I was given mental therapy for no reason.

Back in 8th Grade, I was a stupid, gutless, under developed lad who did not fit in with his peers. Because of this, I was bullied and I was often frustrated with my life. One day I actually stood up for myself, punched the kid square in the nose and I got labeled as the bully because he had kidney failure which excuses him from trying to throw a 4'8 kid off a 10 foot high balcony.

So to see if I was mentally sane, I was interviewed, labeled with clinical depression, given group therapy for a month before taking a psychiatric test that said I was mentally healthy and all the therapy I was given was a waste of my time. And to put insult to injury, the psychologists tried to cover their asses and say any problems I had were fixed. Well I then spent the rest of 8th grade as the psychotic kid that went to a mental hospital can completed my high school years online.

 

[MrFluffy-X]

I have the common asthma and eczema, making it rather difficult to sleep at times.

talking about Captcha WTF!?:

EDIT: isn't actually that bad looking back on it...

 

[StormShaun]

I guess my common nose bleed which happens once a week, anywhere and anytime, buts its kinds over now.

The other one is a misgrown tooth that was in the upper corner of my mouth, had it taken out last year, it felt like...FREEDOM!!!

and the others are the most common ones, headache, migrane, tooth ache, pimples and peeling skin.

 

[AmosMoses]

Campylobacter infection was pretty nasty. Not least because it caused me to miss Metallica.

Swine flu was also pretty horrible. Never had a headache that bad for that long before. I spent so long under the shower I caused my apartment building to run out of hot water. Oh and it came with a nice secondary nasal infection too.

Nothing too serious tho.

 

[General Ken8]

It's a tough decision, but either way I think I'm lucky compared to most of the posts I've read. My least favorite condition I have is either minor seasonal affective disorder (ironically, the acronym is SAD) or my allergies that are only for two weeks, but are usually pretty bad and are ALWAYS during track sectional and state meets. Last year, I would've been the second freshman in my school EVER to break 5 minutes in the 1600 meter dash, but my allergies ruined that dream for me

Are you referring to cystic fibrosis? Or anything like it? Now THAT is a bad medical condition

 

[Larmo]

Lyme's disease at first my arms broke out in hives, then my lips turned blue and I had trouble breathing, after we found out what it was i had to take the medicine for a month to get rid of it, not fun.
