Grade 2, got the flu... really bad. For almost a month I was bedridden, vomiting. It was horrible, not going to forget it. I was away from school for so long that the class sent me a package with a teddy bear, letters and photos.

Well, I've never been *really* sick. So I'd say my worst was when I got mono and had to stay out of school for the week. It was basically full of sleep, naps, sleep, naps, soup, naps, yada yada yada. Very boring.

I got really sick when my family went to vacation in Taiwan. We were originally on a tour, but I got incredibly nauseous when the plane landed. Thus, my sickness forced my family to cancel the tour and spend the rest of our stay in a hotel in Taipei. >_>
Lots of vomiting, fevers, coughing...lasted for ages. I had to be taken to the hospital- then again, there were no doctors' clinics that we knew of there, so we had to. But luckily, we somehow found a distant family relative, who happened to be a doctor, so that helped.

Ummm... I don't know.
Maybe when I got laundry detergant suck in my lungs, and I had to go to the ER and get it pumped out. If that counts as an illness...

Not an illness, but 73 days of female issues. >___<
When I was little, I had to go into the hospital for some reason or another. I don't remember.

I had pnuemonia when I was 9. I spent three days in the hospital. I'd been sick for several days before my mom took me to the ER. I was also badly dehydrated because I couldn't even keep water down. My fever was very high, and I remember being very angry with the nurse because she took away all of my blankets and turned on the air conditioner in my room. This was early spring, so it's not like it would've been all that hot anyway. I was freezing, but it brought the fever down, so that's ok.
I also had a couple of bad kidney infections when I was a teenager. Both resulted in trips to the ER.

I had asthma as a child. There were a few times I came down with pnuemonia, which does not mix well with asthma. Once, one of my lungs collapsed. I spent several days in the hospital. I was very surprised when I recovered, I wasn't expecting to leave the hospital alive.

I have a tie for first place in this category, a double inner outer ear infection (cause by water not draining out of my ears all summer) and food poisioning (both ends for about 3 days, and then I got on a plane to paris, that was fun).
The ear infection was barable, I lived with it for 3 wks until I got it checked out, and that was only because I had a fever of 102 and was throwing up.

Post Viral Syndrome. It's a lesser form of Chronic Fatigue, but at times was just as bad. Lasted for the better part of a year before I got better.

This is at age 10.
Some sort of cold or flu that made myself unable to move from the couch I had fallen asleep on. When I woke up I was completely delerious, however I remember the exact thing I said as well as most of the sensations:
(In a frightened voice) "I am king of the teapots now..." (I was afraid that someone was going to break/assasinate me)
"The bulldozers are after me." (they were probably the ones trying to break me)
The sensations was that of falling into a bottomless black void, no matter how much you run you keep sliding. The best way I've come with to describe it is that it felt like having your whole body being sucked into a grain of sand.
After sitting in the bath for about four hours I went back to bed and slept it out over the next couple of days.

The croup when I was 5, I was in a LA area hospital (I was visiting relatives there) for a week or so. I still vividly recall bits of what happened with the ER and everything related to it (such as seeing blood in my IV, the X-rays, being stuck in a tented bed with various monitors attached to me.)

Very nearly died of whooping cough aged 2 weeks. Needless to say I cant remember it.

In the 3rd grade I was poisoned from wild mushrooms.
Yep... I ate poison mushrooms and had to be rushed to the hospital and everything.. puking on the way.
They had to put that tube thing down to my stomach, pump me full of tar or whatever and yeah... it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Was in the hospital for 2 or 3 days.
Also 2-3 years ago... I don't know what kinda bug it was.. but I got extremely sick for about 3 days. I couldn't eat anything or drink anything without it wanting to come out.. one way or another... usually both at the same time. Not going to get into too much detail here but when whatever came out it looked like black ink... it was very strange.
And top all that off with a humongous migrane.

The worst would have to have been the Chicken Pox - I got it right at the start of the holidays back in '02. It carried on up to 2 weeks into the new term.
For half of that I was a vegetable, sleeping it off whilst my grandma (my parents went to Queensland just before I got sick, and came back earlier because my Dad caught it as well) kept checking my temperature.
I scratched a few of them off, on my forehead, which left a 'Southern Cross'-like mark on it. Twas cool.
Oh and, my parents bought us (coz my brothers were sick as well) a PS2 to make us feel better

*picks and chooses*
Probably the aftermath of a Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccination. I reacted badly to all three of them and/or the vaccination (I was never clear on that point). At any rate, I got a combination of strange sicknesses that resembled symptoms of each of them and some other sicknesses that were a result of that blasted vaccination. Spent a week in hospital, wasn't pretty.
Needless to say, my mother has never allowed me to have another vaccination since and I am way behind my vaccinating schedules. Woe.
