I'm sick. I have a headache, chills, a cough, probably a fever. I lay in bed without the covers and I'm cold. I put on a thin blanket and I'm roasting.

I'm hungry but I don't feel as if I'm able to hold much down.

wouldn't be so bad without the headache.

So, what do you think? Just the cold or something worse?

Maybe you should try http://www.freemd.com/ or a similar site.

It would be too hard to say off of what you posted.. except to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

Ensure a good supply of vitamin c (orange juice), put garlic in meals, if it persists for just over a week see a doctor.

yup. just a cold. I had a migraine along with it to make me think it was something much worse. Not to mention the fact that this migraine was so bad that it made me sick twice. I feel much better now that the migraine is gone. I took some cough syrup with codeine in it. Yummy stuff and slept for a good two hours. Now I'm up and hungry and migraine-free.

On the couch tonight.
