Are there any diseases that you have a fear or particualr hate of? Is it past life related for you?

Whenever I hear "Whooping Cough" I get really uneasy. I haven't known anyone in this lifetime who has had it, but I've always had a fear way down deep inside. When my son was younger, I was SO scared that he would get whooping cough, even though it's pretty rare now...I'm pretty sure it's PL related, although I don't have any specific memories.

Anyone else?
 
All diseases aren’t nice to think about but the Black Death really 100% makes me feel terrible. I use to hate doing this s subject in history.
 
Small Pox, I just can't stand the thought of small pox. For some reason even when I read about it freaks me out. I have no ideal why, I'm not usually a person to shy away from illness. The plague doesn't bother me and I've had whooping cough when I was two. But, something about small pox makes me horriblely uneasy.
 
The black plague freaks me out, too..
In my Microbiology book that I have to read this semester, there is this picture of what the doctors would wear when they treated the sick. The piece that went over the head looked like a bird's head, the "beak" stuck out. They used to put spices and potpouri into it to keep the smell out...Everyone was laughing because my teacher brought up how funny it looked, but it looked so familiar to me, and wasn't funny, AT ALL.

I have a friend that I have lost touch with over the years who first introduced me to the subject of reincarnation. He was adamant in his belief. He always said that he and I had been brother and sister somewhere in time and we really did have that closeness. He HATED rats and mice. I was telling him one day about a mouse in the pet section of Walmart (Years ago) that had babies. I thought they were adorable. Doug began to shake and cry. I freaked totally out and appologized profusely even though I had no earthly idea what I had done. He the got that serious persona that I have since learned goes with a true pl memory. He told me of a pl in Europe where he died with the black plague. The disease, of course, was carried by fleas on the rodents.
 
first of all little moon Yes iv seen that picture and I feel exactly the same it gives me shivers just thinking about it now. Also how they use to bury the body’s by just digging pits and burying loads together. the whole topic just freaks me out .

norabrindle it's funny should mention rats they never use to have the same affect on me that spiders do but when i saw dying on the floor I totally froze and screamed calling my father to do something . I don’t know why but I was unbelievably scared.
 
Spooky stuff. I had a reaction like the ones you are discussing, but I cannot link it to any disease that I know of. I saw brown flakey/fungal things growing out the side of my garden..growing out from the mulch. I was instantly repelled, shuddered, and recalled great pain (though I didn't feel it). Even now, I cannot bring myself to look at those little growths because of the intense feelings it gives me. *bleah, I'm shuddering now!!!*

Any ideas on what it might be?
 
Once, when I was 11, I had gotten really sick with a cold or the flu. I had it for a month before I got rid of it. My grandparents told me I had a whooping cough with that cold because I would cough for hours without end. My throat was so irritated from all the coughing that I can't even begin to explain the pain I endured. And it wasn't a normal cough -- it was one of those coughs that come from deep down inside of you and take the life out of you. A lot of the time, I would be gasping for air. It was pretty much impossible for me to sleep during that time period. If I was able to sleep, I considered it a miracle. Thank God I've never gotten sick like that again. I do occasionally cough like that when I get sick, but it's no way near as severe as it was then.
 
I think one of my past life children died from whooping cough. Whenever I hear or read it, it makes my skin crawl and I CRINGE! It's an awful feeling!!
 
I know I have a severe dislike of high fevers which I am sure comes not only from this life but the last as well. Last life I suffered three severe bouts of malaria on the African coast (I guess this is why I have always found the taste of quinine water familiar and I must say I fancy a gin and tonic every now and again...one of the classic colonial combinations. (also when reading of the medicine quinine and the bark from which it is manufactured, I found it very very familiar...with three bouts of malaria, I guess I jolly well should...lol).

I understand that one of those bouts came close to killing me and in an eerie echo this life, I ran a number of high fevers when little, one of which nearly did for me (my mother claims they were seriously making funeral plans as I was soaking bedsheets every 20 mins or so).
 
diseases

Hundreds of years ago, all different kinds of plants and fungi were used to make medicine. A medicine woman or a shaman had to be very skilled to knowhow to use her medicines, how to control the potency and the dosage. That kind of medicine was a very precise science and worked very well for a well trained intelligent person. These people learned by testing medicines on themselves and worked very hard to find the way to make the medicine work better, and what combinations worked the best. The knowledge was handed down from generation to generation, from expert to apprentice. It could have been that the brown things were something that should have not been eaten, perhaps by a child, and maybe there was no antidote. Or maybe a shaman who wasn't trained very well used it for medicine, or maybe he was well trained and knew he could use it for poison.
 
When I was young, I used to be paranoid that I would get cancer or die in my sleep (though I think that was attributed to my PL of dying in a fire in the middle of the night). There were times when I would get out of bed in the middle of the night, wake my mom up, and have her check to make sure my heart was still beating. I was about 8 :rolleyes:
 
I can't think of any diseases that scare me and I never suspect the worst if I get some symptoms. I don't know what a person is called in English, who always thinks s/he has all the bad diseases and can't read medical books because of that, but my boyfriend is like that sometimes. I think it's funny.

I've actually been very healthy in this life *knocks on wood*. The last time I had a flu was two years ago (whereas at least in this cold country most people have a couple of flus every year) and fever over five years ago. But I have always been terrified of hospitals! When I was younger I visited a couple of times a friend or a relative, who was in one, but I always had to hurry out because I either threw up or fainted, and later knew I would if I didn't get out. So nowadays I won't go, even when I should - for example I didn't go to see my grandma before she died. I know it's awful, but I just can't.

Well anyway, I had always been horrified at thinking that probably one day I have to go to a hospital myself - to give birth if nothing else. But when I last year broke my arm and had to spend a couple of nights in a hospital, it wasn't that bad at all. So I think it's only the visiting part that terrifies me. And now I'm thinking it could be PL related then, and maybe I had a dying family member in a hospital or something.

I haven't had any bad experiences of hospitals in this life.

The person that thinks they have everything is a hypocondriac (sp?), thats what my mom used to call me when I was younger..because I used to think I would get cancer every time I watched a show, or if I read something I'd be convinced that I have all the symptoms.... :o

I remember going to the hospital for the first time because my brother broke his arm or something (I don't really remember because I was only 4 or 5 at the time), but all I really remember is sitting on my moms lap in the hallway, and hearing what sounded like a fire alarm going off and was terrified. Now that I think about it, that actually may have triggered my PL memory about being trapped in one.

I do have asthma in this life, however, it was much worse when I was little. I believe that may have been carried over from dying in a fire in a prior life...
 
I have a phobia of vomiting. It terrifies me to the very core...As does seeing friends hurt. I instantly go into like... paramedic mode or something... I hate seeing people hurt.
 
I'm with Denomar, vomiting terrifies me to the very core. I can't even think about it.

Strangely though I have an absolute fascination with the bubonic plague. I have a ton of books on the subject. It goes hand in hand with my love of rats.
 
I used to be terrified of one disease and that is leprosy. I was afraid of leprosy as far back as I can remember. Some of my dreams provide reasons to believe that I may have suffered from it in a past life. Of course, we can get over all our fears. Now it is just another disease to me.
 
Scurvy. In our day and age, with the improved availability of fresh produce year-round and advent of dietary supplements (which I've taken religiously since I was a child), I am irrationally fearful of freaking SCURVY. :confused:

All my life, I have found myself "checking" my teeth by pressing my tongue against the backs, one by one, top and bottom to make sure that they're not loose. I love citrus fruits and would eat them anyway. But I have often grabbed an orange or a lemon during my break at work, thinking "I mustn't get scurvy. Can't get scurvy."

That is really dumb, isn't it? But I do find it consistent with my theory that I was a sailor or pirate in a past life, since I would have seen scurvy first hand and possibly experienced it myself.
 
I feel safer sleeping sitting up. It's as though in some lifetime I went through a relatively long period of feeling afraid that my lungs would fill up, or something, if I slept lying down, and I felt like I was safe sleeping sitting up. In this life it's harder to get to sleep lying down.

Yeah, Black Plague, Polio, Tuberculosis and Croup! The worst one though, by far, is Rabies. I just shudder when I hear that.

Rabies scares me a lot, too. It always has, because I see it as a deadly non-treatable disease, when it actually is treatable today.

But in 2002, there were I think a total of 4 people who died in the United States due to rabies. One of these four happened to be my next-door neighbor boy, who had found an almost dead bat in the woods behind our houses, and it bit him. He told no one, and had all these symptoms. Nobody could figure out what was causing him to be so sick. Needless to say, he died. I don't remember how they came to know how he came in contact with the disease, but I do know that after his death they confirmed that it was, indeed, rabies. Scary stuff.

Me, too! It's like I'm back in the olden days when there was no cure...it totally creeps me out. I still look at stray animals on the street with extreme distrust, and I live in a fairly large city :rolleyes:

It is really rare to hear of anyone contracting rabies these days, let alone dying from it. That poor little boy!
 
And cholera...what a horrible word! I read it in a book when I was a little girl, and it made me shudder!
 
An acquaintance of mine has had a lifelong interest in plagues and feels she was an English nobleman who died of the plague in the 1300s...she looks quite a bit like this person as well...but I found her interest in the Black Plague to be interesting as this is the form this English noble died of (as opposed to just calling a widespread disease a plague.

And yes, leprosy from what I read is awful! :(
 
Meningitis scares me to death. When I was 14 I was admitted to hospital with a viral form of meningitis and I was so convinced I was going to die. I have been terrified of it since I was about 8, I heard about it on the tv and it scared me then and still does.

I don't know if this is classed as a disease, I think of it more as a disorder. I have been battling for a while now with anorexia, I often wonder if this will affect me or my family in furture lives. Will I or any of those who know me now be scared of this disorder in future lives? I know I died from anorexia nervosa in my most recent past life, so why I have it now I don't understand. If i don't get over it in this life time, will I have it again next time? ........anyway just ignore my off topic ramblings, It's 6Am here in England and I have yet to go to bed so I'm in waffle mode. :tongue:
 
Lights,
I'm very interested in your experience with high fevers as a child. My son has had high fevers since he was 7 months old. He is 5 now. He also remembers a past life in Africa. When the fevers get high, we say he 'talks in tongues' because he talks non-stop and doesn't make sense. There has never been a known medical cause for this. In fact, we don't even take him to the doctor any more for it.
I was in the Peace Corps and worked on malaria. His fevers are reminiscent of malaria fevers to me in that they are high and will sometimes go away or go way down for several hours or a day and then come back.
I knew moles and birthmarks could be carried over from past lives but have never heard of an actual physical symptom carried over. Have you heard of this in others?
The most interesting thing is that he hasn't had one of those fevers since he started talking about his past life in Africa. He does not say or know how he died in that life. I wonder if they will go away for good. Sure would be nice.

Me, too! A couple of years ago we had to receive meningitis vaccinations in school because of an outbreak in the city where I live. A couple of teenagers and a some small children died from it. The very worst part for me was when my mum told me that they diagnose it by a spinal tap. The thought of having to endure one of those makes me queasy!

Hi, Vicky,

I hope they, too, will go away and stay away soon. I am assuming the 'talking in tongues' has to do with the delirium cause when one has a very high fever. It does sound like malarial type fever, doesn't it? It also sounds as if his previous life in Africa is involved...and interesting the fevers started to leave once he started to talk about Africa.;;;

He may just be too young to be able to verbalise what happened to him...I would give it some time and then if he wants to know or you think it might be helpful, a regressionist who can work with children might be a good idea.

My fevers went away of their own accord by the age of about five...I still didn't remember last life, but interestingly enough began to have my first memories, dreams, and flashbacks about three years later, starting with TITANIC.
