priapism sometimes happens to men in the last stages of terminal cancer. my dad had a friend to whom this happened. priapism is VERY painful, and, as you can imagine, VERY embarassing. can you imagine having possibly just weeks to live, your entire body having been taken over by cancer, and having to deal with not only an excruciatingly painful and embarassing disease, but also having to deal with 14 year olds such as yourself cracking jokes about it? call me crazy, and roll your eyes all you want, but i cant "lighten up" about this, and i cant find absolutely anything to smile about regarding such a terrible misfortune....

i apologize for the thread hijack

Man, calm down. I'm sure its very painful, but even if I was dying of cancer I could look at myself and make a good dick joke.

postcount++ to anyone who can name the movie the above came from.

Joe vs the Volcano, which was a really bad movie.

Ah, comon. It wasn't all that bad. Sure it was corny, but it had its moments. Tell me you didn't laugh when he said "I'm losing my sole."

Look. Every damn disease in this thread has probably happened to someone's relative. I'm very sorry about your father's friend and fully aware that priapism is really quite painful, but honestly, this whole thread is in amazingly poor taste so either just deal with it or create a separate rant for each disease/symptom listed, okay? Singling me out for your wrath just because you're familiar with the symptom I mentioned while ignoring all the other (and largely worse) things mentioned in this thread is just being stupid.

well hopefully you won't be asked for a dr's excuse, but you could try this

say you woke up and one of your eyes was really really blurry... so you called in, and it got a little better (enough for you to drive to the doctor) and they said you developed an allergy to something, and that they gave you some Patanol to clear it up
