I was hit severely with something called Rapid Influenza B, which is a FUN version of Influenza (commonly known as The Flu). Basically I got slammed with every worst aspect of the flu at once within a 24 hour period. I was walking back to my dorm one night with a slight headache that turned into the most awful nausea I've ever experienced in my life - to the point where I upchucked right there on the lawn outside my dorm. I then became dizzy and had to stumble my way with the nausea and a pounding headache.
Next morning I woke up burning and feeling so damn tired. Like all I wanted to do was sleep.
Well to make a long story short I didn't receive any treatment because the school I went to wasn't your normal kind of school. You can't just come and go as you pleased.
So I had to endure two to three days with a 103.4 fever until the weekend where I finally went to the ER. God I was in rough shape. I was having fever hallucinations, vomiting, my back and neck were awfully sore, and I didn't want to do anything but sleep.
When I got to the ER they examined me and I remember the doctor staring at me with concern when she said "You are very lucky. If you had waited a few more days, I don't think you would have made it."
Yeah. I almost stopped existing. For you see it turns out due to lack of treatment my Rapid Influenza B had evolved into Pneumonia, and I being an Asthmatic, means I get screwed even harder from respiratory illnesses like Bronchitis and Pneumonia.
Long story short I almost died. That's the most I've ever gotten sick.
