What is wrong with me? Why am I so weak.
I walk to the other side of the house
and im exhausted. Im 17 years old very
athletic and this is getting annoying.
Last week I had diarrhea that stopped then
I had a post nasal drip. Wasnt too bad.
Sunday night went to sleep at 9:30 pm
woke up at 4:00 am! It was weird I wasnt
tired so I did my homework and went to
school that day. Monday night I went to
sleep at 10 pm and woke up at 7 went to
school then half way through the day I
started getting cold sweet and was getting
dizzy. So I went home and have been
extremely weak since. What should I do?

Dear tom,
i think it's just the flu......It doesn't
take into account your being healthy of
athletic...No, the flu is a mean
beast...... Sometimes you can get
vomiting and diarreah for as much as 2
weeks....... In scotland, there's loads
of flu bouts every year and once I was
white as the pure driven snow.....And the
only bonus was that I lost a lot of weight
and looked like a model!!!!!!!!!
You just have to realise it takes all the
strength out of you, and you must feed a
cold - but starve a fever........Ok , it's
important!!
Take loads of fluids, as much as you can
manage, hot water with lemon and honey
(honey's good for your skin and for
lubricating your throat so bear with it,
as long as you're not allergic) you
should always just thole it out and lie in
a comfortable room which is preferable
clean and cheerful-looking, and you'll
feel hot and shivery, sick and diarreah
maybe and little by little you wean
yourself on to dry toast and
yoghurts........And juices and consomme
(clear soup) - and you'll start feeling
right as rain!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about all the clichés , and hope
you don't get yourself in a fuss over
nothing, you won't die of it (highly
unlikely!)
