I know what you mean! Like Krista, I've never had the flu or mono, but I have had way too many cases of strep throat in my life! I used to get it at least once a year when I was younger, but it seems that the streak is over now that I'm an adult. I remember how much it sucked, though.

I hope you're feeling better, diss. I had to fight some kind of stomach virus a week ago and I wanted to die. I was lying in my bed in the dorm room and nothing I could do, NOTHING helped the pain. I threw up about twelve times in the course of four hours. I was so miserable that I was looking around the room for something that could be useful if I wanted to resort to a suicide attempt. I wouldn't have done that, but I just felt that bad. So I have an idea of what you're going through.
