I was about 4 months pregnant with my second daughter. It was a bright beautiful day so we decided to go to the pool. After about 15 min I started to get a little headache - so I went inside to shower off and lay down for a little while.
My husband said that when he came back into the house with my 5 year old - he was unable to wake me up for about 5 min and was burning up. He took my temp and it was 105.1.
He immediately rushed me to the hospital. My headache was now a full blown 'migraine' and I couldn't move my head/neck. It turned out I had meningitis.
I had to make the worst decision of my life. Take meds to make me better, but possibly hurt the baby - or ride it out and hopefully not loose the baby or myself in the process. We opted to take the meds - and THANK GOD - the baby is perfectly fine (although she ended up being born extremely premature 2 months later)

I have Crohn's Disease and non of the meds helped me at the time. I stayed in the hospital for over a month total in 2003 and had 2 foot of small intestine and 1 foot of large intestine removed. That was no picnic! Yuck. But all is much better now. I can eat anything I want and rarely feel sick. Crohn's Disease diagnosis is on the rise - and they don't know the exact cause. The next worse thing that has sent me to the hospital was kidney stones. Having a baby is much easier - I have had 3 of each!

After over 6 months of an extremely difficult high-risk pregnancy, I was finally starting to do a bit better. I went for my regular doctor's appointment and there was no heartbeat. My baby had died and I had to go to the hospital to have labor induced. I went into cardiac distress due to my system already being weak and a bad reaction to the induction drugs, and it took me almost 2 years to really regain some semblance of health.

June, 1991. I had had knee surgery two weeks beforehand, and the pain wasn't going away, and the swelling wasn't going down, so I went back to the Dr for a followup appt. He put a needle in my knee and took out fluid that looked like thready fruit punch. His eyes went wide and told my boyfriend "I will meet you both in the ER." I was so scared! We drove to the hospital and there was a team of nurses waiting for us outside. I had systemic staph and could have died, I was told later. I was kept separate from all other patients while I was checked in, and was immediately brought to an operating room where they knocked me out, "debrided" the knee tissue (cleaned it out), and started me on IV therapy. I was in the hospital over a month. My next door neighbor in the "isolation" ward? Some guy who was accused of murder who had crashed his stolen car while in a police chase and busted up his leg. Thank God he couldn't walk, and he was chained to his bed anyway.

pyloric stynosis (sp?). ugh, it sucked but i was a baby
Its a problem that you get when youre born. The tube that goes from your stomach to your intestines wont open up, so you basically throw up all of the food that you eat. So, I pretty much straved for three weeks. But, then the doctors found out the problem. I had an operation, but they still didnt fix it. Then my dad was all up in there grill about it. Then I had another operation, and they got it right

A suspected heart attack. I was in the cardiac care unit for Christmas Eve. I watched a tv show set in a hospital, where Santa Clause died of a heart attack.
Depressing. I didn't have a heart attack though.

I got in a car wreck. A guy pulled right out in front of me when I was going down the highway. I've had back pain since. And it sucks.
