Pain

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Dengue fever was the most painful thing in my most recent memory.

Don't get dengue fever.

I've had it twice, once in Thailand and once here.

Maybe I was lucky, not really painful either time, in fact the second time I just carried on as usual (almost)

Biggest hassle was the idiot nurses waking me up every four/six hours to take blood, until I refused.

Only two more strains to go and then you're fully immune to dengue :-) I was never hospitalised because I've got too much swag and YOLO. I was lucky enough to contact dengue and a separate bacteria infection simultaneously. I slept a lot, lost 10 kg and had tons of nightmares. Not a very fun experience. If that bacteria infection had been another virus I supposedly wouldn't be typing this today.

Getting tattooed for 9 hours in one sitting with only short breaks was another interesting way to test my pain tolerance.

Stubbed my toe on a table leg once. It hurt really bad.

Well that explains the fact that you're sociopath, I'm just surprised you haven't gone gaga with a semi-auto at the mall yet.

I had 3 strains at once with a friend on remote 1995 koh Tao. I learned only afterward that we had undergone a dengue shock phase (next one is the dreaded hemorrhagic phase). Evacuation was impossible for the first week of our non treatment. I am glad I was young and fit when that happened.

It was my chest too. We should be homo bros or something.
