I'm probably not gonna log on again tonight unless i suddenly start feeling more... well, alive.
past few days i've felt like hell. i'm exhausted, i cant sleep (great combo eh?), my whole body hurts like hell and Im freezing.
the cold-ness. thats erally whats killing me here. yes its october but this isn't normal. i went to school today w/thick socks & long sleeves & a sweater which i normally don't do till cold days in nov/dec/jan
oh and my breathing is going to hell. random moments where its slow and labored. it doesn't feel like theres fluid in lungs though so i dont think its a chest infection.. more like the muscles just don't want to work
i dont know whats going on. i feel like a zombie. it doesn't seem obvious though, im not pale or showing exhaustion much & i cant go to mom for help bc she doesn't believe shit
(I had bad chest infection last spring and it took a month to get fuckin antibiotics &she only did it bc she thought it was pnmonia at thath point)
halp meh pplz&ty?
(im aware this probably is scattered and irratic im sry i'll try to get on to check thread if u need clarify ask)

Yes I have to agree, it might be mononucleosis (Are you able to place your chin to your chest, sternum) or it could be a bad bacterial infect- you need antibiotics for that, perscribed by a physician. It could be a virus- you just have to wait it out I am afraid.
Did you recently get a flu shot?
When did the symptoms start happening?
What is the pain on a scale of 0-10 and 0-having no pain at all.
Have you tried any new foods?
Have you altered your everyday, normal life, doing anything differently?
Is there anything that makes you feel better? (Posture, food, medicine, anything that makes it better)
Anything that makes you feel worse?
How much sleep on average have you been getting?
Has this happened before?
Have you started any new medicines?
Do you have any allergies?
What have you eaten in the last few days?

I *really* doubt pneumonia, i don't feel like I have any fluid in my lungs.

Yes (/doesn't get that question)
Yes, saturday. Saturday was the first day it was *bad* enough that I had to stop...
...But I've been like this at least a week
ATM, 3, when I posted this like 6
Nothing weird in my diet.
Mm. School started but it's been on for about a month.
Only thing that even remotely helps is finding a semicomfy spot to curl up under a pile of blankets and when im overly cold wait it out.
Doing anything. School alone is wiping me out, i fell asleep in english today.
Sleep.. Heh. I'm still getting my "usual" which is anywhere between 7 and 4 hours.Lately low end
Um. The last time I was this exhausted I was more obviouslly ill, it was a chest infection. This is different in that i don't feel like Im underwater =|
No new meds
Yes, but I'm good at avoiding them & haven't eaten anything with alergens in them
Eh. I've been trying to eat but keep sleeping through meals. Eating normal lunches, usually I'm grabbing something for breakfast. Dinner is iffy under normal circumstances.

The chin to your chest rules out meningitis (If you have meningitis your meningies would be so inflammed that you would not have been able to place your chin to your chest, if you had not been able to do so I would have advised you to go directly to the Emergency Room.)
I believe that you have been hit with the common cold, nothing much to worry about, drink fluids and rest, stay warm, the extra warmth will help to kill off any bacteria and if your symtpoms do not start to go away within the next 2-3 days then I would make an appointment with your doctor to have them check you out.
Also, from my understanding you can't really feel the fluid in your lungs unless you have copious amounts, your lungs need to x-rayed to see if there is fluid in them.
