Fake a stomach cramp and while you are bent over moaning and wailing, you lick your palms.

101.7 is what my mom had and complained of her head feeling like it was going to explode, along with a 2-week cough that made it hard to talk.. oh and backaches... went to the ER and she has the flu. 1 week bedrest and some tamiflu. Get yours today.

i don't start whining until the fever-induced hallucinations start. that's about 105. been there a couple times.

Take Motrin. 100.6 isn't a bad fever. You have the symptoms of the flu dude. Mortin will take your fever down. If it stays with you for more than 3 days, get to a doctor as you may have an infection. The flu doesn't kill people, it's the lung infections that cause pneumonia that do.

i went to the doctor today and he said my lungs sounded fine... if i begin to get short of breathe, or coughing up fluid to get back into them... However, after sleeping ALLLLL day today, literally was awake from 10am - 11am 12:30-2 5:30-6 and now have been awake since 9 since i really slept all day and now feel a lot better, not much of a fever, but im still getting some sweating problems while sleeping, and sweating the shit out onto my pillow, waking up in puddles of sweat is not fun...
