I'll accept a brutal course of treatment or poor treatment at the hands of medical professionals for this question.

I had viral meningitis, and I had to endure a lumbar puncture. after falling down literally four flights of stairs to get to an ambulance, I had to endure that shit.

Oh my fucking God

And this shit happened during Covid, goddamnit.

Edit: but it didn’t hold a candle to the pain I had to endure during the first round of Covid in February/March 2020. 12 days of the most unimaginable pain…

My cat even got it, and I had to deal with my cat crying in pain for almost 2 weeks while I felt so much pain I wanted to kill myself, but couldn’t.

I just peed in my bed, cause I couldn’t move

Edit; I was happy to pay for a new mattress rather than deal with the eye-stabbing pain of moving to the toilet

Either you don’t remember, or you never got the first version of Covid. Either way, consider yourself lucky. It was a magnificent horror show.

    We got the flu once really bad, my whole family. Before that, I never understood how a flu epidemic could kill people, it's just a flu, right? We were all in bed for 2 weeks, just lay together on the pull out bed in the living room to be next to the kitchen and bathroom, I nursed the baby and we drank water, salt water, lemon water when we could get up, but I could so easily imagine just starving or dehydrating and dying, we were so so sick.
