A-Z of Injury / Illness ideas.
As a thank you for 100 followers - here a list of (hopefully) helpful illnesses/ injuries that could be used to create the perfect fic - you might even find that you can have up to 5 of these tropes for the ultimate whump/ sickfic:
-If it’s in italics that means it’s an idea that has been submitted in after the original post went up by an anon-
Abdominal Pain (could be caused by food poisoning)
Allergies (the Star Trek fandom love to torture Kirk with this)
Agoraphobia (this could be interesting…)
Acne - this can be painful for some and could be used to write a fluffy fic about someone feeling self-conscious of their acne then someone does something nice to make them feel better.
Anxiety/Anxiety attack(s)
Blindness (this could be temporary or permanent)
Bites (Animal, Bug, Human….)
Collapsing (into someone’s arms is usually nice, bonus points for cradling their head as they lower the whumpee to the floor)
Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (thank you @dinochickennugget for this suggestion! - dinochickennugget has told me that they are open to questions about this disorder as they are unfortunately a sufferer of CVS)
COPD - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease makes breathing increasingly more difficult.
CHF - congestive heart failure
Diseases (mystery diseases are the best kind)
Delirium (bonus points for this being drug/ fever induced)
Deafness (this could be temporary or permanent)
Deaf blindness (this could be deemed as temporary, but still, imagine the panic in your character after a mission gone bad)
High Fever (like dangerously high)
Hypoxia (Oxygen deficiency – this could be caused by strangling/ choking or near drowning experiences.)
Hypotension/ Hypertension
Jet Lag (I don’t know I just wanted to fill this section in with something)
Muscular Atrophy (this could be after a being held captive for months or it could be a result of being in a coma)
N. Fowleri (a brain eating amoeba)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease)
Paralysis (this could be temporary or permanent)
Phobias (could lead to character stumbling and hurting themselves in an attempt to escape their fear)
Pregnancy (morning sickness, self-conscious,hot flushes, tired and
sleepy,general malaise, swollen feet, weird cravings, the whining is constant…)
Stomach Ulcers (a cause for vomiting up blood)
Starvation (whether this be self-induced or due to kidnapping)
Stress (this could induce headaches/ general illness)
Trapped (whether this is after an explosion, car accident, natural disaster…)
UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)
Wisdom Tooth Removal (added purely because of all the funny fics that could be written as the person rides out the anesthetics - or the character could wake up in pain the next morning feeling like absolute trash so the second character looks after them by bringing soup and ice packs for their jaw)
XMRV is a newly identified human retrovirus that is similar to a group of mouse retroviruses (called murine leukemia viruses, or MLVs)
Zoonotic illness (It’s a disease carried or transmitted by animals to humans like tularemia or psittacosis)
*open to more suggestions though I tried to fill in every letter!*
