this started last night, lots of sleeping and wooziness. this morning completely sucked:
weak as a kitten
very, very woozy and/or dizzy
aches + pains in every joint, muscle and bone
heavily congested chest, sore throat
sleeping, sleeping, sleeping
headache and some discomfort from the eyes and ears

is this swine flu? bird flu? regular flu? what?

edit:
according to this, temps all over my head are in the 96-98F range. if i don't see some improvement by tonight, off to the doctor's tomorrow.

edit 2:
i had a hankerin' for ribs, but like a dog chasing a car, wtf would i do with it when i catch it?

UPDATE, because you care:

i saw my doctor this morning. diagnosis: bronchitis. if i had a fever, it would have been the flu.

250mg azithromycin for 5 days, 2 on day 1. without insurance, these 6 tablets would have cost $44. how the hell are these worth $7.33 each?
 
1.) your preggers (if your a guy go to #2)
2.) your s/o is preggers (if no s/o see #3)
3.) Its cancer
 
Oddly enough that fairly accurately describes me for the last two days, as well. 🙁 Some sort of cold, or the flu perhaps. Rest n' fluids. If it doesn't go away/get better in another day or two, go see a doc.

Without a doubt you have ebola.

Wrong. The headache is indicative of either mad cow or rabies. Or this.

After the organisms have multiplied and largely consumed the olfactory bulbs, the infection rapidly spreads through the mitral cell axons to the rest of the cerebrum, resulting in onset of frank encephalitic symptoms, including cephalgia (headache), nausea, and rigidity of the neck muscles, progressing to vomiting, delirium, seizures, and eventually irreversible coma. Death usually occurs within 14 days of exposure as a result of respiratory failure when the infection spreads to the brain stem, destroying the autonomic nerve cells of the medulla oblongata.
