You sicko. (Cold, flu, and general illness comiseration thread)

Let's all moan at one another about how sucky we feel. It can't hurt worse than our sinuses already do!

I'm not really sick outright but I feel like shit.

Is that close enough?

Works for all intents and purposes!

Pharyngitis. Inflamed uvula.

That's gotta suck. Darn germs, gettin' all up in your uvula's grill!

The uvula causes me to have a gag reflex whenever I breathe out, since it brushes solidly on the back of my tongue.

It burns when I pee.

I have a massive cold right now. My nose is runny, my throat hurts, I'm coughing like crazy, and my head feels like a balloon.

I get colds.

All the time. I'm surprised I haven't caught every possible mutation of rhino virus by now.

"Rhinovirus." It's a funny word.

A recent diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Severe anemia, apparently as a result of it. A cough that started a few weeks ago and refuses to go away. Diarrhea. Vomiting (once.)

My brother saw me the other day and said I looked like I'd come out of a concentration camp.

Trying to recover now. Called in sick to work, then spent a lot of time just lying around. Been forcing myself to eat (I got some food from Whole Foods, but most of it tastes like ass.)

^ Ouch. I knew a guy with Crohn's. Sucks massively, from what I understand.

I came down with something awful while staying over with Justice and Lady Justice. Fever, nasal congestion, heartburn, and stomach pain. No clue as to cause, since a cold isn't associated with heartburn and such.

Maybe the Rheinlander poisoned me.

Cold with runny nose and sore throat.

Not to mention I'm tired and sweaty from work, I just went through an ugly breakup, and I completely humiliated myself by calling three times afterward.

So yeah.

My acid reflux has just been made worse by a stuffy nose and sore throat. I just got the flu vaccine, that's supposed to make you go away, germs!

This week in general for me. Started out with really bad stomachache...migrated to sore throat, then the throat got better as sniffling increased, then the sniffling got better but throat got sore again, plus coughing...

My throat is still kind of phlegm-y, but hopefully I'm recovering now.

This is pretty pitiful compared to the rest, but it was All Grass at [school expunged] Gets Cut at the Same Time Day, which means a runny nose and irritated throat, allergy season or not. My sinuses aren't the right shape to begin with, so I get plenty of discomfort in that area for various reasons as the weather changes.

I suddenly felt extremely nauseous this morning, though it's most likely because of my severe lack of food and sleep than an actual illness.

I had a sore throat. Now I have a persistant cough. :(

Currently have a cold. Mostly that general miserable feeling, but also a cough and sore throat.

I think I'm better! ...And I think I narrowly scraped by, since I've seem like five or six sick people since then. I think I managed to get the cold that's going around early.

As I live in Australia, and it is the last month of spring, Cold & Flu season should be long over. My sinuses don't seem to have gotten the message though, seeing as since about July I've gotten constant blocked noses and sinus pain. Only a few times has it turned out to be a cold, but still.

I think the cold's passed my campus by now. I think we made it out early.

I haven't actually been sick yet, but I have gotten a stuffy nose recently from my contacts bothering me.

I have a god tier immune system and it rocks. I catch a cold no more than once a year. When everyone else is sick I go on about my day
