[Health] Influenza...
Felt yucky last night, today I woke up with a fever of 103 degrees, to find that Noderunner had keeled over. I was receiving e-mails and text-messages and frantic IMs from my users, left and right. Had to muddle through getting it back up while bleary; turned out to be a dead IDE controller. Bleh.
Using Aleve and taking a cold bath, I managed to get the fever down to 100, and went to the doctor. Doctor says it's the worst case of influenza she's seen in 'a long time,' and promptly put me on antivirals. Says it's just this side of pneumonia. (How on earth did this come on so quickly?)
The fever's already back up to 102. And I'm supposed to fly to New York on a biz trip on Thursday... :(
Mindy, who pushes echniacea on friends - it doesn't make the bugs go away after they've hit full-force, but it seems to make the symptoms less bad
And it looks, alas, like I'm not going to New York. The doctor says I can expect a week of this... ugh.
Feel better, and try to rest!
