If I've not been here for the last week or so, its because I've been mad ill.

I've never ever had flu in my life, and Im still not sure if thats exactly what I had as it was SO bad, but either way, I had a flu-type thing. It was fucking awful. Started monday when I just woke up with absolutely no energy at all. I could barely get out of bed, and I had this horrible pain behind my eyes when I moved my eyes left or right. I thought I might be going to get a migraine, as Im always knackered for the first day before a migraine.
I took the night off work, but was really just tired and drained with this odd headache, not much else.

Woke up the next day with every single joint in my body aching like I'd been hit by a bus in the night. Still had no energy, tried to get up, nearly blacked out. I knew something was wrong now. My temperature was 38.5 which is a bit higher than normal. During the day, it got worse and worse, I felt sick all the time, could hardly keep water down, couldn't stand up, couldn't watch TV, couldn't go online, just laid in bed for hours in pain :/
That night my temperature was 39.6.
I went to the doctor the next day and she thought it was a flu type virus and said it should go in a few days.

I started to get better saturday, as in, I stopped throwing everything back up again at least.

To give you an idea of how ill I was, I didn't go out to see the rats for 4 days. Jon fed and watered them for this time. I go out into my rat shed in the snow, the rain, I've been out there with all kinds of ailments and got on with the job. I just couldn't do it at all. If it weren't for Jon, I don't know what I'd have done.

So Im just starting to get back to feeling normal again. Still a little sick and need to get back to actually moving about again, but thats why I haven't been about much.
Should be from now on :)
