UGH!

[vulgarweed]

For no apparent reason yesterday, a high fever fell on me like a piano in a Loony Tunes. I was feeling fine in the morning/early afternoon, and the next thing you know, I just collapsed and lay flapping around helplessly groaning. Everything ached. I couldn't get warm.

M brought me orange juice. G brought me spicy Thai soup. I slept about 18 hours. I still feel like someone's taken a meat tenderizer to my throat.

A little warning would have been nice.

Ohnoes! *Clings* *Gives chicken soup* This is just shaping up to be a bad-luck week all around, and it's only Monday... O_o

*hugs* Poor dear!

I always drink very hot herbal tea against throat aches. I'm not sure why something that'd normally just burn my tongue has such wonderful pain reducing effects, but it works wonders.

Also, if you need distraction and cheering up, Dreya has posted a new chapter on LT.

Oh, I had that a while back! Be ready for your digestive system to just utterly fail. And to spend about a week with no symptoms and yet not being able to generate the energy to get anything done.

My deepest sympathies.

*Winces* Sounds a bit like the unpleasant little bug that was doing the rounds on my side of the Atlantic a couples of months back. Hope that the worst of the symptoms start to fade very soon.

Eeep! Especially awful in flipping AUGUST when one doesn't expect this sort of bug at all.

Hope you feel better soon!

Something has definitely been going around! I had a cold for three days, Chuck's been a bit ill as of this morning, and even my instructor at school has flu-like symptoms. Take care of yourself, darling!

Oh, poor you! That's horrible! 8[

I hope you're feeling lots better soon, dear!

Ugh, that sounds terrible - I hate those sudden bizarre flu-like things that strike from out of nowhere. Try to stay hydrated, and of course the honey-lemon combination might help a little with the sore throat. Hope it goes away soon!

oh dear. it sounds like a relatively speedy ailment--wow, good going with your speed-healin'! let me know if you need anything in particular.

(note to self--buy Airborne before term starts...)
