down with sickness

yesterday morning i had developed a sore throat. i thought, no big deal, i still have my voice, and headed off to work. for the whole day we were really busy, so much so, that i didn't realise how tired i was till i got home. i crashed on my bed, and i slept for 8 hours straight. i awoke to take some pain killers for my headache and throat relieving lozenges. though, after i got back to bed i simply couldn't get sleep. i think i had unpredictable episodes of feeling hot and cold, my frontal lobe felt like it was going to explode, my muscles were too weak to move and my sore throat simply did not keep my sleep peaceful. i found the strength to get up at 3am after having a terrible hypothermia episode, i  literally had jittering teeth! i stripped off the bedding and slept next to the radiator. i called work and let them know that i was in no position to come to work today. its only after 6am that i got my peaceful slumber, lasting till 4pm. i awoke to take more medication and it was back to bed.
its 9pm now and i've been awake since 7pm. honestly i have never felt this weak in my entire life. it doesn't feel like i have a cold/flu, i just feel weak everywhere. my sore throat is still there despite taking medication, though my headache is thankfully gone. i have slightly more energy though i have not left my bed for more than 30mins. i tried to have a shower earlier but could not find the strength to stand long enough in the bathroom to make it happen. i feel terrible. i hate being sick, agh! :(
