    ...until I woke up this morning. Now I'm sick AND confused.

    See, I started getting a cold about a week and a half ago. It wasn't a bad cold at all, just your typical runny nose, sore throat type of thing. I took cold meds and drank fluids, and it ran its typical course. After about a week I felt perfectly fine again.

    This morning, however, about another week after it went away, I woke up feeling horrible. Way more horrible than I felt a week ago. My throat is scratchy, I'm coughing like crazy, I'm really congested, my head hurts, my sinuses hurt, and I pretty much just feel like shit.

    I'm wondering, what the hell happened? I thought I was finished being sick, but suddenly I'm way sicker than I was before. Anyone know what's going on?

    I'm actually in the same exact boat as you, the only difference is I had a temperature of 100.8. Now it's down to 97.4... And I was EXTREMELY dizzy (to the "I had to sit while going down the stairs" dizzy)

    I'd like to know if anyone knows anything as well. At this rate, I can't go to 'work' on Wednesday.

    Is it maybe H1N1? Maybe google it? I've not had it myself - nor have I had the vaccine since I'm too paranoid about the implications or possible cancer causing agents in something they rushed to the market, but it's worth looking up.
