   Who here has the flu?
  I have been hearing that a lot of people have been getting this new flu, and well...raise your hand if you also have the flu.I got the flu shot, yet, after measuring my temperature of 98.8F, I think I god damn have...something...not to mention the pain I am feeling in my joints and the feeling of my skin being on fire (slightly, not fire...fire is too powerful of a word...hot molten lava, ok..small brush fire). Maybe it''s just stress from the upcoming finals, or it is the god damn flu...I just simply do not yet know.Dammit. 
  I got the flu shot through work and now I have a nasty cold instead of the flu.  I accidentally took nighttime cold medicine this morning and paid for it all day.  On the upside the day flew by.  I would blink and minutes would pass ;quote:Original post by Thermodynamics    I would blink and minutes would pass   cool, i wish that would happen to me, whatted ya take? nyquil (or however you spell that).   ______________________________________________________________"Here''s my message to everyone out there: I don''t want you to kill yourself.

I almost puked the other night I was coughing so bad. About half of the kids at my high school are absent this week, I don''t know why they just don''t cancel school. ;  *Hand waving frantically in the air*Good Lord, I haven''t been this sick in a long time, not since I had pneumonia several years ago. I was running a fever of 104F earlier today, and it feels like it''s coming back in full force as I type. Can''t sleep, can''t concentrate on doing anything constructive. Gah.

Vote NO! on 23yrold3yroldTop of page;  *raises hand*  I had it, but I''m getting better.  I didn''t throw up or anything, I just had bad itchy throat and it filled with brownish snot and such.Lovely. ;  I had the flu, I''m just getting over it now. It was pretty bad and I know you know that p1 heh. Anyway, here''s an exceprt from my angsty blogquote:If this strain of the flu is as deadly as the news says it is, then the feeling of death sleeping next to me doesn''t seem as bizzare as it should be. All I can feel is the chill of cold fevers, the discomfort of hot covers and a mind splitting headache. Not even the most relaxing music can cure this sickly soul. What does it take to numb the pain? Anesthesia some would say, but there are only two things that I can think of that will work. A coma, or more pain. And it is not the kind of pain you can see, but it is only the kind of pain that can be remembered. That is what numbs me. Fortunately this flu will be over in days...only one less thing to feel. If this cold sensation over this steaming body is only death, then don''t bother to tease me. Suffering is a joke. ------------------------------------------------------------TimothyBarnes.net loves you ;  Not sure if it''s the flu, but I got sick after being outside shoveling snow for 2+ hours... could very well be the flu, or just a cold from the weather.
