I rarely get sick. My girlfriend always gets mad cause she'll get a nasty stomach flu and all I get is a few hours one day where I feel "a bit different", then I'm fine; meanwhile she's puking her guts out.

However since Saturday I've felt hungover. My nose runs, my throat is sore, and I have uncontrollable shivering and feeling cold. Then later I'll feel hot and sweating like a horse. I can't sleep much either. I actually tried working out on Saturday and 13 min into a run my heart rate was at 190 bpm so I thought maybe I should stop :(

if you really feel that bad, why not go see a doctor... it's not like you'll get some good medical advice here cuz noone can examine you or run some tests...

Yes... put down the keyboard, drink some hot herbal tea, get your behind in bed, and in a couple of days you'll be feeling back up to par :)

"You're not dying! You just can't think of anything good to do. So, take some Pepto and get over here and pick me up!"

Drink lots of fluids... juice, water, tea... stay hydrated!

If you start showing signs of a bacterial infection (hacking up green stuff, for instance) then it is time to go see an MD.

If you have a viral infection, there is nothing the docs can do except help you ride it out.

You're not dying silly, just sick. It's no fun, but go right to bed, drink plenty of liquids and for goodness' sake no exercising like running,...in a few days you'll be fine.

Sounds to me like you would have to get better to die. :D

Cheer up, it only lasts a few days or so. :D

Damn, sounds like you have the rare strain of Ethiopian Death Flu. The changes in temperature will throw your body into toxic shock, releasing combined doses of adrenaline and dopamine. This will cause your heartrate to rise and drop suddenly which will cause cardiac arrest, or cause it to explode, within 5 minutes. Bile will build up in your stomach and eat through the stomach lining and the lining of your intestines, causing massive internal bleeding. You will know that this is happening if you see a slight pink tint to your skin. Face it man, you're gonna die.







Or I could be wrong...

Christ in heaven, I have Etheopian Death Flu...? :(

Actually I am getting a tad better over the last few hours. For breakfast I had some orange juice, a pill, some pepsi, and a big salad. I'm also taking it real easy at home :)
