I had no idea it could be this bad
I have had the flu. Never like this.
Day 1 and 2. Sore throat. Bad, but not the worst ever.
Day 3. 102 fever with cough and blocked sinuses. I'm nasal flushing 4x a day. The results are grotesque. I think I saw that green guy from the mucinex commercials wave at me on his way down the drain. I'm so tired.
Day 4 and 5. All those symptoms but I also crapped my pants. The diarrhea. Oh my god the diarrhea. The gas. Just non stop farting and shitting. I have to bend over to get the gas out, but the sinus pressure is insane, and every fart has me terrified I will fill the diaper I am now wearing. I am now an adult sized baby. I contemplate the ER, but don't have enough diapers or pants.
Day 6 and 7. Immodium saved me. Doc says it's probably the flu. What the hell kind of flu is this? My fever persists at 101. My guts scream and inflate whenever I eat anything. I can't smell anything. Tiger balm smells like nothing at all. My brain is mashed potatoes after being slow cooked for a week. My sinuses are bloated.
On top of all that, I have a 6 month old I'm terrified will contract this ungodly plague.
Is this in line with anyone's experience? I feel crazy. This doesn't feel like the flu. Maybe I just got lucky before.
