Puny/feeling weird/sick-symptoms like mine? Blatant call for sympathy...

[Dodie]

OK. I've been home sick for two days now. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Period.

The weird part is the kind of "sick" I am. I have a headache and am stuffy with a sore throat, but have no fever. The reason I've stayed home is that I have ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY WHATSOEVER. I've basically slept in front of the TV for two days. I feel completely drained. Making soup is a major effort.

I had a flu shot. Don't have fever or achiness.

Anybody had this weird bug? How long does it last? What's up with the weakness/tiredness?

Almost sounds like a chronic fatigue syndrome thing. In any case, I hope you're feeling better soon. Do what I do - eat chocolate!

Thanks. It's just been a couple of days, so I think it's a 'bug,' especially with the other symptoms.

The chocolate cure is one I hadn't considered. Off to rummage through the pantry...

It's your body's way of telling you you need to lay around and relax! However, feel better soon<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_206.gif' border=0></a>

Sounds like the time when I had mono. No energy! I couldn't do anything.

I've had a sore throat and been stuffy off and on for over a week. I haven't had a fever either. The first couple of days, I was really tired. Now I just have the sore throat. It seems better in the mornings, but is really sore by evening. I'm getting really tired of it. Hope you feel better soon!
