The FLU

I don't know exactly if it's the Flu but man this shit seems to be spreading and knocking people down so fast here in Portland. Anyone else seeing this in their town right now? My whole house got it, I resisted for a good 10 days then it just destroyed me. The past 5 days has been miserable, extremely swollen glands, terrible sore throat, bad migraine headache, stiff neck, sharp stomach pains, diarrhea.... I want to go ski so bad, it's sunny, warm and beautiful outside and here I am suffering ............ went to the doc and basically there's nothing to do except stick it out, and do all the right things that we know we should do when we're sick. I am so impatient with sickness.........

I feel like an idiot, as I read the first couple sentences I was thinking "What the hell does FLU stand for? Is this some crazy new disease that I haven't heard of?"

Yeah, I'm stupid.

yeah seriously. also my doctor said they got the wrong strands for the shot here so it's only been like 40% effective.

i had a pretty bad flu a few days ago. crazy soar throat, and so much chest pain it hurt to breath. dont take tylenol or any of that shit, it doesnt do anything. i just said fuck it and went clean without any drugs for 3 days and just ate healthy shit and it passed quickly

wow 103.7 is a redic temp.

when i first had it like the first or second day (i forget what it was) i had a really high temp right before i went to bed. i cant remember having a fever that bad, because i was just sweating so bad and was so dizzy i had to hold on the walls to be able to walk down to my room
