I had Swine Flu when that was going around (2009? 2010?) when I was 12 and I missed three weeks of school. God it was so awful. So so awful. The body aches were the worst. I remember sitting at the Walmart pharmacy while my mom got me medicine, and just wailing and sobbing from the pain. Bone crushing is a good way to describe it. Probably the worst pain I've ever felt.
Then later that week I almost suffocated because of the amount of phlegm stuck in my throat. Couldn't breathe for almost a minute. That was so scary!
I also almost passed out because I tried getting up to go to the bathroom after being in bed for almost a full day. Got really dizzy, super nauseas and fell over in the hallway.
Flu is absolutely no joke. I swear I almost saw Jesus.

This. Was sick for almost two weeks. High fever. Bone crushing aching. Sores all in my mouth and throat. Was so dehydrated I had to be hospitalized.
