I thought it was strep/flu but the doctor says no, and she was sure of it too. So now I'm on some drugs to get rid of it. I had to miss work for it, not bad, but I payed with being violently ill.
I have all the symptoms of the flu, strep, a cold and who knows what other virus is out there.
Kill me, please, my head's going to pop from the congestion!

And by saying you have all the symptoms of a cold/strep/flu, do you mean that
a/ you have a cough b/ you have a headache c/ you feel tired d/ your tummy hurts
or all of the above?

Hmm. I've been coughing up most of my internal organs for a couple of days now. And now I've got to brave British Rail and the London Underground to get back to Liverpool. Damn it.
Is that real flu? As in "I've got influenza, and will probably need a couple of weeks to recover, and if antibiotics didn't exist I might die"-type flu? Or is that "I've actually got a cold, but that doesn't sound severe enough for me to get sympathy, so I'll say flu instead"-type flu?

I think the medical community needs to come up with a new category of disease, inbetween the cold and the flu. Something so that people will know that yes, you feel like you want to die, but you're not actually at any great risk of it.
The problem is is that "cold" no longer sounds as bad as it did. People began saying "cold" for wussier and wussier things, and so it became a wuss ilness. So flu was moved down, even though 99% of people who say they've got flu have got a cold.
It's like women's dress sizes. Over here, a size 10 today is far bigger than a size 10 from, say, 2 years ago.
That was relevent. Trust me.

Liam: Oh, like we're going to believe that. The dress sizes haven't changed. Why can't you just admit that you aren't as thin as you were two years ago, and that's why you can't fit in a size 10 anymore...?

I've put on 2 stone this year actually (that's 28 pounds, for you, er, thick people). So I'm now up to a grand 12 stone. Or 168 pounds. But it's all muscle, so my prom dress fits as well as it ever did.
