oh the joys, i found out yesterday that i have a low platelet count in my blood

which is due to viral arthritis which i was diagnosed with 2 weeks ago.

so i am now susceptable to catching anything and if i do its worse than usual

so people are now my no.1 enemy

im also having to take 15 pills a day, not incuding paracitemol and throat sweets....grrrr

the only good thing about this is that i get to do all my college work at home and just e-mail it to my tutors when im done.

cant move, cant talk

anyone been so annoyingly ill that they are just

Hope you get better soon

Septicaemia when I was 14, manifested itself in headaches.

G-Docs sent me home after my mum took me in at 4am. I was admitted with Blood Poisoning at lunchtime the same day, was in hospital for 5 days. Not fine.

Hope you get well soon. Being ill really does bite it.

Well those arthiritic ailments can be pretty debilitating as well as painful, so let me offer sympathy,
Get well soon

man that totally blows, i know how you feel...

over a year ago was diagnoised with Spheretosis (sp?) which is a form of Anemia (sp?) which affects the blood.. so rather than having a lack of iron in my blood i have a lack of blood in my blood.

its only mild so thankfully i dont have to get my Apendix removed! :| but it does mean i'm sometimes really really tired!

but nothing like that!, so you have my sympathies man!

At least you've been given medication for it. I have asthma which is mostly under control but sometimes chronic and a few years ago I had constant pain in my chest and my doctor told me to rest and drink orange juice. Incidently, my boyfriend at the time was a little bit ill and his doctor gave him antibiotics straight away.

So a few nights later after coughing for several hours on end I ended up at hospital in the middle of the night, diagnosed with a severe chest infection, had to be nebulised and put on steroids for a fornight. It was three months before I was finally clear of that infection and all I have to do it sniff now and my doctor puts me back on the steroids straight away, I think he learnt his lesson there!!

Sorry to hear you're not well, though at least it's not aids.

It's a pic of her so I'm guessing nowhere unless it's on MSN or another forum.

Or if there's an imposter! Uh oh!

Untitled, I hope you feel better soon man.

I have been ill before but I have the controversial illness (in some peoples eyes), depression. Over the last 4 years I have been up and down with this. It is a physical illness because it made my blood pressure go through the roof, so fuck you sceptics lol.

Seriously man, hope you feel better soon. All the best
