Another rant, please help

[Flex]

alright guys, sometimes our dedication to BB comes back to kick us in the ass.

as you all know, my car got messed up on thurs, so i don't have transportation. whats the big deal you ask, well, in New England, we just got about 2 feet of snow and it was freezing outside.

i had to get to the gym somehow, and no one wanted to drive. eventually i found a ride to the gym yesterday afternoon, and i figured i'll take the apartment bus back to my apt. so after my workout, i walk about 10 minutes in the freezing cold/snow to the busstop. i had a hoodie and sweatpants on for the record. i wait for like 20 minutes there. finally, an oncampus shuttle (not the one i need, i need the apartment shuttle), comes adn i ask the driver where the hell the apartment shuttle is. he says there's only 1 apt. shuttle, and each route takes 40 minutes. i said to myself "fuck this", so i decided to run home. it took me about 20 minutes to run home in the freezing cold/snow.

so anyways, i wake up 100x's in the middle of the night. one minute i'm sweating my ass off, and i throw all the covers off, the next i'm freezing cold and get under all the covers. plus with the overall body aching i had, i knew it was a fever.

but the worst part is that every time i breathe, at the very top of my inhale and the bottom of my exhale, my throat gets a really weird feeling. its hard to describe. the best thing i can describe it by is that it makes me want to cough. whenever i cough, my throat hurts SO BAD.

i am pretty down. dont have a car. very sick. finals and tons of work coming up. my life sucks right now.

so anyways, anyone know what the hell is wrong with my lungs/throat?

If you lived close to me I'd just say come on over and lift dude. Sorry about the situation.

I wish i knew what you had but it shouild run its course quickly now that the fever has hit. It is the bodies way of overheating and killing the bug.

 

[Flex]

thanks bro, must be so much nicer in Georgia.

i don' t know if its a bug though. even though there's supposedly alot of shit going around, i think it def. had something to do with being all hot and sweaty, then being in the freezing cold/snow for like an hour.

anyone else? someone's gotta know what's wrong with my throat. it hurts sooo bad when i cough.......and now the fever is kinda returning.....GREAT

 

[Rocco32]

Could be an infection! Can't really tell without being able to see your throat. Are your tonsils swollen? Are there red dots in the back of your throat. White dots? A lot of congestion? Is the air in your apartment dry because of the heat being on? There are many things it could be dude. Just go see a doctor if it's bothering you!

Hope you feel better!

 

[Flex]

thanks Rock,

i dont know if its a bug. i dont think my tonsils are swollen or have dots in the back of me throat. i've had strep literally over 10x's in my life, so i know what that feels like when its an infection.

plus, it doesnt hurt when i swallow its just kinda congested. its mainly when i breathe real deep in and exhale out deeply. then i get the uncontrollable urge to cough, which hurts so bad.
plus my fever is coming back now, im starting to get real cold.....

 

[gr81]

that sucks man, I know how it is htough. Just hang in there and hit it hard during your break if you can. Its all good.

 

[Rocco32]

Sounds possible to be a respiratory tract infection. Get it checked!

 

[Flex]

my fever is just as bad if not worse today. i get shivering cold one minute, than sweaty as shit the next. i woke up at 5am this morning, put on my hooded sweatshirt (on top of a teeshirt i was already wearing, with the hood on my head...i always sleep in only boxers), and sweatpants, and literally pulled my arms inside the sleeves (so i was kinda like huggin myself) and shivered myself to sleep.

i'd go to the school's infirmary, but literally, they'll tell me i am pregnant and could lose the baby due to pancreatic cancer. i'd go home, but with finals i don't know if i'll have time in the next couple days.

Do you guys know any over-the-counter meds i can get at CVS.
like does dayquil or ANYTHING else work. i've been taking aspirin off the hook, but its doing ALOT.

thanks guys.............an overwhelmed, depressed and sick as shit Flex

Your throat is probably cold burned. I used to get this when I played ball. We would have to run outside in the freezing cold, and the cold would always burn my throat. This is why you should breath through your nose when its cold. It will warm the air before it reaches your throat and lungs.

I would also recommend using Vaporub on your chest and back and neck while you sleep. This should make it so you breathe easier and fight off infection faster. Also I would highly reccomend getting some thera-flu for fever reduction before bed. The shit tastes terrible, but it really works.

 

[Rocco32]

But if you have a viral infection, you need antibiotics! Like Fire said, in the meantime Thera-flu is pretty good.

 

[J'Bo]

Everyone in my town has gotten sick already...it was a bad one.

Feel better punky rest up and study and we will chat about your thingy later

 

[Rocco32]

About his "thingy"?

 

[J'Bo]

yah his thingy

 

[Flex]

ya fire, i think my throat did get "cold burned". i mean i went from the being sweaty as hell in the warm gym to being in the freezing cold outside for like an hour.

i don't think i have a virul infection, just a fever/head cold etc.

anyways, my fever is down now, which i am sooo happy about. i sweat my ass off again last night, but i think i sweat the fever away for good.

i still have a cold and a hurting cough, but i think that'll go away soon. i'm just gonna keep drinking maaaj. fluids, taking aspirine and eating.

i plan on being back in the gym this weekend, still weak or not (which i think i'll be fine by then).

thanks everyone for your advice and support, it reallly does help.
and i'll update when there's more news, don't you guys worry.

p.s. then we can talk about my (huge) thingy haha

Nasal spray is addictive and when you go off, the symptoms come back with a vengeance!

Soooo, sorry PreMier! I think I did this to you in a few other threads too. Firestorm used to have that avi for a looong time so we still think of him when we see it! Just keep correcting us.

 

[PreMier]

Yea you did. I just thought ya were being extra friendly LoL.

Anyhow, if it bugs I can switch it...

 

[J'Bo]

i think your avi should be a brownie

 

[PreMier]

Even though he is a great guy im sure, I dont want to be known as "fire" anymore eh.

Come on guys, can you please be serious for even 1 second?

its not the nasal spray, its the cold medicine that makes you horny


i feel better, i guess?? i really can't tell how i feel, mostly just out of it. i feel real freakin weird. i took the cold meds last night. then i just relaxed, watched taht Paris Hilton show (its hilarious) watched a movie and went to bed.

i woke up 100x's during the night feeling real fucked up. not neccesarily sick, just weird. most of the time i noticed i was just hot as hell. plus, i had the most vivid awkward dreams that i was hanging out with Paris and that other chick, almost like i was on that show with them.

Damn, i knew the nasal spray/cold med combo makes you real horny, but i didnt know the shit makes you hallucinate too.

even when i'm sick i get to party like a rockstar
