Get checked for diabetes anyway, though it sounds like you have the flu. Diabetes has zillions of symptoms, everybody's different. On the off chance you have diabetes, you want to know about it so that you can take care of it - diabetes can be really bad later, people die from it.

No more movies for you until you're all better, okay?

(I'm diabetic)

Yeah I should. I got checked before and didn't have it though I had really high cholesterol. Lost 60 pounds and got the cholesterol under control but have since but weight back on Parents never stock talking about it, yeah need to move out soon!

102.2 now

just hit a couple aspirin

 

[Locut0s]

How long can the fever from a flu last? 2 or 3 days?

 

[ElFenix]

102.9 fuuuuuuuu

 

[Locut0s]

102.9 fuuuuuuuu

Yeah that's getting a bit high. I believe mine's still below 102. Though it has certainly returned after disappearing earlier

About to take a calming hot bath. Ahhhhh....

 

[PowerEngineer]

Fail update. I made it worse by going out to a movie last night

If you're going out to a movie the same day that you are too sick to work, then you aren't the kind of employee I'd be interested in. I'd be expecting you to do everything you can to beat whatever bug you have and get back to work ASAP.

Besides, the concensus from an earlier thread was that you should be enrolling in a college full-time away from home to finish your degree. What happened to that?

When I went out I thought, mistakenly, that I had most of it beaten. As for my long term plans those still are my plans. I need an emotional kick in the behind to get me started. Otherwise I tend to just keep moving in the same rut I'm in. As for the type of employee that I am.. lol you know nothing about that. I'm actually a perfectionist and work harder than most, most of the time. I've been highly praised several times by past employers.

You know Elfenix most likely we have the Swine Flu! It simply became the seasonal flu after all, nothing different about it. I should have a shirt made up "I survived the Swine Flu!".

Why is the internet so dumb?

 

[Locut0s]

Why is the internet so dumb?

Because of people like you? Yeah I did a dumb think going out but that pales in comparison to most stuff people post on here.

i myself have been sick for the last 3-4 days. Fun? hardly. It's mostly consisted of severe headaches, constant coughing, and the last two days, fever. I didn't check it yesterday, but it seems like it's finally going away (only 100.2 now).

The headaches have also dissipated. What i don't get though, is why you say it's fun? Granted, laying in bed can be nice sometimes, but it's not worth feeling like crap...

 

[ElFenix]

100.5 by the time i went to sleep last night but back up to 102.2 as of this morning

 

[tfinch2]

Ugh, at 101.7 right now.

 

[Locut0s]

Fever mostly gone but I still feel like shit. I felt better with the fever.

 

[CZroe]

When I want that same cozy feeling as if I were sick, I just eat thick chicken noodle soup.

 

[Lanyap]

It's ok as long as it's not a stomach virus.

 

[Locut0s]

It's ok as long as it's not a stomach virus.

Most of what people call "stomach viruses" are usually bacterial infections I believe. So called food poisoning. Though there's also the norwalk virus which is similar. Yeah food poisoning and the like is serious business. My father came down with a bad case of it on a trip to China some years back. We were actually afraid for his like, it got that bad.

 

[Locut0s]

Just back from the clinic. Felt stupid going but wanted to make sure I wasn't developing pneumonia, felt like this was settling into my chest. I had a mild case of pneumonia as a child. Yeah seems like just the flu. Still feel like shit but guess it's good to know it's nothing more.

 

[Locut0s]

Fuck I take that back. It's over a week later and I still feel like crap. Well OK the fever and the worst of it is long gone but I still feel like crap. Sinuses blocked, runny nose, a little nausea, head feels like a block of wood, chest congested, no energy. I need to call the Whaaambulance.

 

[darkewaffle]

I can handle being sick for the most part except for when I feel nauseous, I hate that feeling. Just waiting for the inevitable upchuck and wanting to get it over with.

 

[Perknose]

I like being sick sometimes.

No it is not. It can be very cozy to be sick sometimes.

Somebody lives at home and doesn't have the same adult overhead and responsibilities as most other adults . . . yet.

Enjoy the luxury of experiencing being bed-bound with the flu as a vacation cruise on the SS Mattress while you can! :awe:

It's not like I've taken a week off work. Missed 2 days only. It's true I still live at home but I would have posted the same had I been living in an apartment by myself.
