I Want to Hear Your Most Painful Life Experience

The worst pain I have ever been in was caused by allergic reaction. Basically it cause a scabby rash formed on the inside of my throat and it was swollen . I couldn’t eat solid food at all and it was too painful to try. For about 1 maybe 2 months I ate only mashed food and a lot of yogurt, ice cream and milk.
Cause I was a little kid I was crying most of the nights and days. After a few days mum dumped me with my Nan cause she couldn’t handle me and a 1 year old.
So for the time I was with Nan.

When I was 9 years old I had to come home from summer camp because I had developed poison ivy. I was very sensitive to the rhus toxin (poison ivy and poison oak) and I became very painfully sick for weeks. I had the rash over every part of my body including my respiratory system (nose, throat) so I could barely breath. My throat was so bad I could only eat jello. It was a heat wave in New York that summr, the year before they invented refrigerated air conditioning.

@greenmountaingal The modern air conditioner was invented by Willis Carrier in 1902

@funloving1 But there was no refrigerated air conditioning back then. They had what were called "swamp coolers."
