I don't even remember the last time I felt this bad

I haven't felt this bad in as long as I can remember. Granted I haven't had the flu in years but even then. Throw up and fall back asleep, rest for a few hours wake up throw up and fall back asleep again. This is so much worse. Every time I cough it feels like I'm Kane (John Hurt) from Alien. Every time I swallow I feel like the warm honey and lemon water is acid, I'm in a perpetual state going between chills and hot flashes and all I want to do it curl into a ball and moan... but that takes too much energy. The worst part is I've been looking forward to today for weeks. The Christmas parties that were planned for today, the presents I got and wrapped, the outfits I planned and bought just for tonight. I guess all that can be said is shit happens.
