Which are the most horrible diseases or handicaps a human being can suffer?

Obviously, stuff like Ebola, certain cancers Cancers, and similar and stuff is deadly and nasty, but at least it will kill you relatively quickly. But who are the people on this planet who truly suffer? Is depression or ME/CFS the things that bring down quality of life the most for the longest time, or is it something else? Which diseases or handicaps are most torturous?

i would say alzheimers over almost anything. to slowly lose your sense of identity as your world just gets smaller and smaller is really frightening

of course, if i had the choice though i'd pick alzheimers over some rare disorder that makes my skin peel off and i have to constantly wear bandages over my entire bloody body and take massive doses of painkillers.

Probably one of those chronic pain problems.
I recall hearing that the worst pain is due to a nerve in the cheek getting wedged against a bone or something.

Nerve pain is a fucking cunt in general. I've broken many limbs but nothing came close to the nerve pain I got from snapping my ACL, kept me up all night multiple times and pain meds do nearly nothing. Even broken bones have the courtesy of only hurting when you move them in stupid ways or smack them into things and even then it doesn't hurt as much

Wish I had my medical dude weed at the time

bad idea. weed makes the pain worse because it solves none of the physical symptoms and adds paranoia about the pain ever going away to the mix. additionally the smoking aspect of it slows ligament and bone healing.

I hear the worst is this awful syndrome where you start to hear your own muscle movements. It's super rare and not well understood so there's no cure. It's weird at first, hearing your eyes blink, or the sandpapery sound of them scraping against the lids as you look left and right. Your joints squeek and your muscles groan. But after awhile it's the most annoying thing ever. You can't do anything. It's like you're neighbors playing music all night, but in your head. You'll go mad equivalently trying to shut up the voices in your head.
Your brain does a great job of cancelling all this out, kinda like not seeing your nose all the time. But some people grow conscious about it again somehow.

All things considered tho, at least I'm not a nigger.

I've got crohns and can confirm.
I was nearly finishing a medical degree at time of diagnosis. Tried to keep going but the reality is only 30% of people with it significantly respond to medication. I was starving to death and could barely move with exhaustion, i got arthritis and eye inflammation. Steroids helped me function day to day but ruin your bones, skin and hair.

Then due to scarring i started to get obstructions which would put me in hospital in extreme sickness and pain for days. This led to repeat surgeries, it became obvious i couldn't continue with medicine and so dropped out and have just been a wretched burden on my family and girlfriend for 4 years now.

I even used to be very /fit/, ran 5k three times a week, lifted 1/2.5/3/3.5 for 5 and boxed. Haven't stepped in a gym for 2 years now.

Kidney stones hang around the limit of what you can even register as 'pain' before your body just goes into shock or what have you. They also won't kill you and you just get to patiently wait for the next time you randomly feel like you've got knives dug into your back and sides, you also feel totally fine otherwise and will never be able to get used to it or have coping mechanisms.

Fortunately most are caused by diet or old age so it's generally not a concern for most young and healthy people.

>>10506741
No. I've tried a few things but as the way with diseases with no real treatment it's open season for people peddling nonsense cures. Nothing really controls it, nothing makes it worse. It just keeps coming until i get on steroids, then i ride those as long as i can until the doctors say i have to stop. Then usually it gets terrible and i have a surgery, then steroids and rinse and repeat.

At least you can build muscle

[Anonymous No.10506766]

>>10506754
Eat more. I spent years fucking around in the gym until I was 20 then just started pouring food down my neck until i was nearly sick every hour.

Also i can't build muscle at all now. My entire small intestine burns up with inflammation so despite eating more than i did when i was lifting and 90kg lean I don't break 72kg on a good day now. Even if i could the medication is catabolic.

Maybe get your test levels checked, however 99% of people who say they can't build muscle can. They just eat nothing or sometimes do meme exercises. I would know as i was that guy for about 4 years until i became known as a big guy.

Pussy. Try headaches so strong that you feel like your eyes are going to pop and your skull is going to explode, and there's nothing you can do to stop that excrutiating pain, it is there with you until your shitty brain figures "oh sry mate, thought i was in pain lol", which sometime takes hours (not that it matters, time loses meaning in that state).
In case you think why don't i just anhero, it's because during episodes the pain completely paralyzes you, you can do nothing but squirm infetal position like a worm. And after them i don't want to anhero anymore.
