Whats your most exotic disease?

[Jabberwocky]

I`ll wear a winkle picker on one foot and a whelk picker on the other one.

 

As they say, `I`ll be in a win win situation!`

 

 

God. I havent worn winkle pickers since the 70s, I used to love those shoes.

 

I can remember this when it were all fields.

I've had mumps and scarlet fever as a child, as an adult I've had Legionairs disease (and then plurecy) and I had malaria. I don't get colds

I once had galloping dandruff until I found the best way to control it.

 

Real diseases apart as opposed to medical conditions I guess it would have to be trypanosomiasis aka sleeping sickness.

I once had a rash on my legs, that the doctor said was what you get when you have meningitis. Septicoccles ? Im not sure! Ive also got a dimple at the top of me bum crack thats apparantly 'only what boys get'

[medusa]

I've had all the usual things like mumps, rubella and chicken pox and I think that the most exotic infection I've ever had was amoebic dysentery, caught whilst on a camel trek in the northern Sahara (where it rained) in Tunisia.

 

In terms of rareness I think that my cancer is the rarest thing I've ever had go wrong with me. It normally occurs in the abdominal cavity of older women who have had multiple children, but every now and then extra-abdominal ones occur and nobody understands why, so when I got one in my shoulder at age 26 the doctors had to check that it really was what the results said before they'd believe it. My tumour was a very rare fibrosarcoma, which is a spindle scar cell tumour, and it's rare enough that my GP had never heard of them and there were only 4 centres in England which would treat me for mine- wasn't I lucky to live almost within walking distance of one of them?
