Yay... I'm sick with Influenza. Since yesterday I've had a consistent fever of over 100, often as high as 103 or a little more.. Terrible aches, cough, burning eyes, dizziness and fatigue... The whole 9 yards. 200-400mg of Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours is what doctor says, and drink plenty of water.

Last night, I slept horribly. I kept waking up, and my dreams were... Strange. They were extremely confusing, and exhausting, turning sleep into something not refreshing at all, but even worse than being awake. I don't remember details other than stuff that doesn't make any sense. Fever dreams, I guess they are called? I almost don't even want to try to sleep, just to avoid them... Urgh, being sick sucks.

I get awesome dreams when i take mersyndol night time. Probably because it relaxes me a little

Flu sucks... I'll be getting my vaccination in may for our winter season.
 
I had a flu over the winter.
It happened over a weekend.
I went to bed feeling fine on a Friday night, and woke up feeling near death the following Saturday morning.
I went straight back to bed and stayed there until the following morning.
We went out a little on Sunday, and I got another good night's sleep, and felt pretty decent by Monday morning.
I had not had a flu in at least a couple of decades, and had forgotten how miserable it could be.
I guess I should have taken the free flu shot offered at work.
You have my empathy, but you will be okay.
 
When I was 16 I had a persistent high temp (hovered between 102-3) for two days and had hallucinations - weird stuff like dismembered hands waving at me and doing sign language. Nothing scary, just real trippy.

I got sick last week, left my window open one night and in-flu-enza...

Sorry for the bad j/k, hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, the Ibuprofen is weak sauce. Nyquil will take care of your sleeping problem.

Hydrocodone, with a prescription of course, will definitely take care of your sleeping problem.
 
When I read the title, I thought I was going to read something about you dreaming of being John Travolta in a white suit!

Man, I'm disappointed!

Hope you feel better soon, bud!

:P
 
Urgh. Pretty much been living off Ibuprofen, Robitussin, water, and vicks vapo-inhaler the past few days. I haven't eaten anything really substantial since day before yesterday, just not hungry. I know I need to eat something, but nothing sounds appetizing at the moment.... =P
 
Did just take a nice hot shower, shaved, brushed my teeth (Hadn't gotten up the willpower to do much but lay in bed since before initial post), and for the moment, I feel improved. I'm sure it won't last, but I'm enjoying it for now
