    I’ve been dealing with hot flushes for a few months now (not typical for a bloke obviously) but just hasn’t been a priority to deal with. Then for some reason the flu vaccine kicked off a dramatic intensification that is still with me three weeks later. Full body aches, headache, swollen lymph glands in my neck.

    The working theory is that a simmering CMV or EBV infection had room to boil over while my immune system was distracted. Kissing too many boys?

    Anyway, I’ve never been sick like this for this long.

    About ready to politely request an induced coma.

          i dont think so sadly. But I’m gonna go with my kid and show him its nothing to be scared of so its worth paying to have that experience I guess.

        You’re right, I’d better ask if they think it’s cooties and how long I have left to live.

          Doctor: I diagnose you with cootietis. The only effective treatment is to suck as many dicks as you can; semen has healing properties

            You bring a “that should’ve been sent to a private group chat” vibe to the DT which I really respect.
