    Last Thursday, during the hour before my last class, I went from feeling good to wondering if I would be able to drive home. I started towards home and had to pull over twice when chills took over and I was shaking too hard to control my truck. When I got home, I took my temperature and it was 103. Thursday night and Friday I went back and forth between fever and chills. Yesterday, the chills gave way to a sore throat and diarrhea. Today, fever is gone but the sore throat and diarrhea remain.

    On the brighter side, I'll bet I've lost a lot of weight as I have only been taking fluids since lunch on Thursday.

    Sambucol. It won't work for all viruses... but it won't hurt either.

    Over the fever and chills, went to sore throat and then fever blisters in the mouth, on the arms, feet, and face. With all of them on the feet, hard to walk, but going to see a physician tomorrow.
