You might thing you’d just have a sore throat. But this is much worse than that. I have a headache that feels like my head is going to explode, I have the worst runny nose ever, and the inside of my sinuses burn like my throat. When they took my blood at the doctor’s office, I almost fainted–they had to get some glucose in me fast. Stupid 10 hour fasting requirements. At least Tylenol makes me feel better`

I know, I know. You’ve probably had worse. So feel free to start a contest if you want. I just wanted to let people know that, if I continue to feel this way, I may not be posting for a bit. Yuck.

And I’m too sick to proofread, so I hope this makes sense.
