The Unofficial Sickness Topic Options

[Oscar]

Are you sick? Got a cold, pink eye, strep, malaria, mad cow disease, the flu, nausea, headache, etc.?
Then you're in the right place! Discuss how you're feeling or come help out someone who's feeling sick.

I'm not doing too good right now. I'm guessing I have a strong cold. I'm feeling like about a 5 out of 10 on the illness scale. My ear hurts a lot for some reason, it's weird. *cough* Oh and I can't forget my lovely mucus-filled coughs...=/

As I type this, I have a horrible headache that makes it hurt like nobody's business whenever I move my head. Pain in the arse (...well, not literally) when my dad comes in and I have to turn my head to talk to him.

I also have a sore throat that feels like it'll never go away! Which is bad, because I'm a vocalist at school and the directors give us... uh, very stern looks when I'm sick. (Last year one girl had the flu for a week and when she came back, one of our directors asked her why she had the flu.) Especially me, though.
It's mostly because I got colds a lot in the ninth grade. Last year I hardly got sick at all, though, but my Girls' Chorus director insisted that I was sick every other day at evaluation at the end of the year. I think this stems from her inability to tell skinny, short, white girls apart, not even by hair color. I'm 5'1/2'' and have brown hair, the girl on my left is 5'2'' and has blonde hair, and the girl on my right is 5'1'' and has dark red hair. And both of them caught really bad colds this year. So the director would walk in and say, "Marley! You're sick again?!" and we'd have to straighten it out for her. But I digress.

I get stomach pains a lot, and I don't know why. BUT I HATE THEM OH MY GOD SO MUCH. It's made be paranoid about what I eat and drink, and I put almost everything through experimentation; now I know not to eat mangoes (which is a shame because I LOVE MANGOES), hamburgers, or Wendy's frosties, and not to drink water that's been sitting out for more than an hour (that one's the worst. I tested that one... oh god, it was a terrifying experience.)
On the converse side, frozen yogurt makes everything go away and makes me feel fantastic. Go figure.

Thing is, when I was four years old to fourteen years old, I never got sick (before I turned four, though, I went to the hospital six times... half of those times, because I got something stuck up my nose.). And then BAM! Sickness city.
