8 days into my first covid experience, I have reflected on the worst sicks I can remember.
1. Norovirus (2014) - I have not felt closer to death before or since.
2. 2009 flu - fever was long lasting, less vomity than Norovirus and could control my bum during it.
3. Covid - very bad headache, bronchitis, fever, pain in teeth, no appetite, diarrhea, tinnitus, anosmia, joint pain
4. Scarlet Fever (1977) - under an O2 tent in the pediatric ICU, only bare scary memories remain
5. Appendicitis. Laparoscopic removal. Fever of 103 and pneumonia post op.
What say you? What is in your sick hall of fame for bugs? I've never had Lyme, West Nile, Malaria, etc, which would rank highly I suspect.
Also due acknowledgement that there a loads of awful diseases not necessarily related to pathogens and I am not trying to make light of these or the patients that suffer from them.
