Sore Throat The first symptom, a painful harbinger of things to come. Thankfully, it went away the day I was truly miserable. C-Pounding Headache I don't get headaches that reduce me to tears very often. This was one of them. It felt like someone was prying at the base of my skull with a claw hammer. Almost worse than Scrappy Doo. D- Nausea There's one cool thing about nausea. Remember that episode of the Flintstones where Fred and Barney bought a sailboat together, and went halvsies on it? And Fred wanted to name her "Nautical Queen" and Barney wanted to name her "Sea Jewel" (or something like that), so they compromised and took the first three letters of each name and called the boat "Nau-sea"? That makes me laugh. C- nonetheless. Vomiting Thank God flu vomiting isn't like drunk vomiting. It's much easier to live through when you aren't dizzy while watching your gustatory life stream before your eyes. D Staying home from work Only good if you have the paid time off to make it up (which I do) and start feeling better by about 4:00 (which I did)! Huzzah!

I believe Scrappy Doo encompasses Pounding Headache. :-P

You forgot "Turning Into A Blonde Chick"------------------
Plus, with such zany, madcap lines as "Papé Satan! Papé Satan! Satan allepé!," how can you help yourself from laughing out loud?

Cough: I'm up at 1:40am because every time I lay down one of my lungs decides it wants to leave my body. I took nyquill, I took codeine, neither seem to have helped. I took a hot shower and slathered vics all over my chest, still coughing. On top of that my muscles in my stomach and head are sore from coughing so much, so each cough is very painful. -DHeadache: This isn't that bad, I've had much worse. This is the kind of headache that is just a vague ache if you are sitting still but if you move, ouch, and if you bend over, OUCH!!!! C Sore Throat: Again, not that bad, I've had much worse. I think my throat is just sore from all the coughing. It goes away with just a little salt water. C Fever: Ick, I was sweating when it was 68 in here and shivering when it was 85. C-
I think that's it... Really it's just the cough that is bothering me.
