what the hell has happened to me? :(

i was at work tonight 6 til 2am, work behind a bar. got home and talked to my housemates for a bit. noticed my throat was kinda sore, bah! had about a pint of water, then went to bed about 3.15 and watched some ugly betty. tried to sleep at 4 but been to the loo about 4 times already. and actually going a lot. i sometimes need the loo a lot when i drink a pint and i havent had much to drink but this is ridiculous as its now half 5 and i drank that water ages ago and must have got rid of it by now. the sore throat has also got much worse as if ive had a bad throat coming for days. really hurts to swallow and feels swollen up.

worst thing is im already panicing about my revision (in my 2nd yr of uni and got 7 exams coming up, one being a group demonstration on tuesday) and now im panicing ive got some stupid illness and i CANT be ill :frown: :frown: and cant sleep at all now, been having trouble sleeping anyway now the throat and constant need to go loo is ridiculous. any idea what has happened seemingly got ill in the space of 3 hours! :frown:

sory this is overly waffly, majorly tired and freaked :frown:
Sleep, get some sleep. It's ok I'm in a very similar situation and know how you feel *pats* It's hard isn't it!

Lol and Ugly Betty is on tonight where I live as well :biggrin:

gargle soluble aspirin? It really works on sore throats
I find that hot water, lemon, honey and soluble cocodamol made into a drink realllllly helps me when ive a sore throat =)

Urgh I had this this kind of thing the other night, I woke up about 3 in the morning in absolute agony, kind of an ear infection/ sore throat super death combo. I was just staying awake in a ridiculous amount of pain till 9 in the morning when i could run to the chemist down the road and get some tablets, he gave me some hyper strength sudofeds which sorted me out nicely :smile:

I also feel ill.

Although it has nothing to do with exam/revision stress (mostly due to the fact I haven't started revising!)
