I got it good this time. I was fine Friday morning, went to work and put in my 15 minutes like I do every day.

Came home and had a small cough. By 11 pm, I was coughing a good bit, but went to bed as usual. By 3 am, I was feeling bad enough to wake up. Stomach hurt like food poisoning, coughing more than not and a head cold so bad I couldn't breathe out of my nose at all. 102.4 fever too.

Long story short, I've slept on and off for about 18-20 hours a day since Saturday. Got up today at 3 pm and have stayed up since (its now 7:44 pm) and I don't feel as bad as I did.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this cold/bug/flu or am I just really special?

BTW, I wouldn't recommend this diet for anyone but I did lose almost 15 pounds since Friday.
