I have pleurisy. :(
 

No joke. The most unbelievably painful thing I have had for a very long time and I would not wish this on my worst enemy - and that is no lie.

Been at work and at one point, tears running down face due to the pain - was given uber strong painkillers but couldn't take them at work as they put you on another planet almost (well, no concentration, no driving etc).

Not long home, fired tramadol down neck and counting down till they kick in.

For those who want to stick the boot in: feel free to laugh and mock me for the pain I am truly racked with. :bawling:

Any sympathy votes: welcome here too.

I have no idea what it is D:

-just had to Wiki to see what it was-

sounds nasty, get well soon :thumbs:

what's the point in posting a poll, it just looks like your dying for an argument with people who vote for the second option

Sense of humour applies - I should have perhaps made that clear in my opening post....!!!

More a light hearted bit of humour: A place to laugh at my suffering.... ie; get it while the going good - that type of thing.

Far too bliddy sore to bother 'arguing'.....!!:bawling:

Aw Pyramid, my friend had that recently.. not pleasant! Get well soon. :)

hope you feel better, it sounds horrible

A nice video to cheer you up

Sounds painful D:

Hope you feel better soon

Get well soon :)

Get well soon Pyramid :hug:

Get better soon Pyra.

Feels like my ribs are edged with sharded glass and my right lung is trying to squeeze through the spaces..... I really never appreciated how painful it could be. 'Till now.

It's not the best, that's for sure!

Def a combo...... but hey, you got to take the good with the bad in life (wee Cher knows that too I'm sure!) :hugesmile:

Awhh.... wee Cher sent me kiss.

Ta muchly you two - oh..sorry GG and CO as well!!. Just venting - it's either that or kick the cat - and that's never going to happen!!

Get well soon :hug:

Thanks Josy.

I think after this: I don't see me moaning so much......... (someone bookmark this in case my memory fails). :joker:

My comment has been rudely removed , you can't even be worried about a forum members health anymore :nono:

Did you start watching Bad Girls? Seeing the lovely Helen Stewart will cheer you up :amazed: Another feisty scot ;)

Oh no, rest up :( I hope you feel better soon :hug:

Cross my heart... I took it in good humour Jordan, it wasn't me. On the wee cat's life. :( .... it was meant for light hearted ''get me now coz I'm poorly''.... kinda 'sick' humour (in every sense of the word!)

I haven't .... might dedicate some of the weekend to it.... been upto eyeballs with work - even when I've been on here in the evenings, I've been jumping back and forth betwen tibbs and ppt / xl / doc etc.

I'll do that when I can seriously veg out for a long while - when I switch off the brain !! (Have it bookmarked :thumbs:

Can safely say that Tramadol is not all it's cracked up to be.

Folks out there... one piece of advice to you all. If you smoke .... for gawds sake: GIVE IT UP. I have no doubt that me smoking hasn't exactly helped this: and I swear..... I would never wish this on anyone.

If you're thinking of smoking / just started - I'm serious. Ditch the bloody things.

Hope you manage to quit the baccy. Tramadol is fucking useless.

Much easier said than done - my own bloody fault - knew I had chest inf but too 'busy' to go to doc earlier. Hell mend me.

Everone was telling me about Tramadol, 'dont take it at work, you cant drive, you'll be out of your face'. What a load of bull..... it's taken the very slight edge off pain... but no way is it strong. (And I'm not exactly built like a heifer either). Useless it is.

I got rushed to hospital with tramadol (loser) had way too much when I had tooth pain. The guy at the hospital shouldn't of even gave me it anyway and he got in trouble

Hope you feel better soon

Thanks Nate, me too.

Strange how we all react so very differntly to the same medications - but that's pretty low that the hospital gave you something that they shouldn't have, not good at all.

Hope you get well soon Pyra :)
