Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML

Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Today, I woke up on my boyfriend's bedroom floor. When I asked him why I was there, he said I'd gotten too hot, so he rolled me off his bed. I have the flu and a fever. FML

Today, I woke up with a high fever and hallucinations. I called for my mother, who after checking me, swore that I was just hungover from a night of partying, called me a "f*cking hedonist", and refused to help. FML

Today, I woke up with the flu that causes me to throw up violently until I dry heave and can't breathe. I told my mom I would rather have the runs, and not even a minute later, I got them. So now if I move too fast, I throw up, and if I don't move fast enough, I shit myself. FML

Today, I’ve been suffering with a fever of 104° as well as an ear and sinus infection. I asked my mom and sister if they could get me meds and fluids from the store. I sent them money through my bank app for the supplies. They took my money and went to lunch instead. I’m still sick as a dog. FML

Today, I woke up with the flu. My wife thinks I'm faking it so we don't have to go on date night, even though I've been on the toilet all day. FML

Today, I was taking a nap in our country house. I was sick with a fever of 101.3. When I woke up, I see that my family had left to go back to the apartment. They forgot me. FML

Today, I have the flu. I woke up to my son leaning over me, inches from my face, breathing in deeply. Apparently, he was trying to get sick so he could stay home from school. He's 15. FML

Today, I'm stuck in bed with a fever, aches, and nasty cough. My kids and husband had it too, and kept coughing without covering their mouths, despite my asking several times so I wouldn't get sick. FML

Today, my mom tells my sister that she is worried about her because she has a headache and feels like she might be getting a slight cold. I have had the flu for two weeks and have a 103 degree fever. I ask, "What about me?" Her response? "Stay away from your sister." FML

Maybe you should "accidentally" pass that flu on. Then she might understand how you feel and decide to shut up.

OP probably feels like it, but doesn't have the energy.

Why don't you just go to the doctor?

a. not everyone can afford the doctor. b. not everyone runs to the doctor over a little sickness.

I'm just sayin but I'm pretty sure the flu is a bit worse than a little sickness. When I had it my fever was 104

If it's flu, as opposed to "just" a heavy cold, then it's not a little sickness - influenza can kill. Having said that, unless it get to the point where you need to be in hospital, there's not much a doctor can do to help.

It's not a little sickness seeing that he has a fever of 104 degrees. Do some research before leaving stupid comments.

Reread. The OP said a fever of 102 not 104. I know it is only a difference of 2 degrees but it is still an important difference as 102 is not really uncommon when you have the flu. Sweetbliss who you are responding to was talking about the OP, not the comment that came after his comment.

Unless OP has a high fever (above 104) for too long, there's not much a doctor can do. When viral illnesses like this strike, the only treatment is lot of rest and lots of fluids.

That depends on the type of flu, 31. Not all flus have as much potential to be fatal as others.

Haha lol I've been there. I got the flu last season and I had a solid 3 days of fevers over 102, and it ended up going to 104. It sucks, I missed a week of school :/

Two things peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil in a oil burner. Or peppermint tea preferable the one from Starbucks.

Scream back at her when she is sick and sits for a moment

Your mom sounds like a wonderful person. I bet she's never had a nasty viral infection where you can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom and refill your glass with whatever fluids you're drinking (when I'm sick, Lemon Lime Gatorade is my drink of choice). It's not fun.
