Re: NEAR DEATH - Heres my tale, whats yours?
I think this counts...
I ignored obvious signs that something was seriously wrong with me while I was going to college. Blurry vision, terrible headaches, throwing up randomly, having the urge to pee all the time but not really peeing much, tired all the time, etc etc. One night I woke up and could barely breathe. Had to go to the ER and was diagnosed with acute renal disease, doctor said my electrolytes were so out of whack and my blood pressure was so high from all the extra fluids that I was lucky my heart didn't give out (I was 22).
4 years later after being on dyalisis for a year and getting a kidney transplant, I'm doing fine now. Thankfully the fact that I was so young when this happened meant my body could take a lot of abuse without it killing me.
