There was one more miserable day, and that's when I got sick sophomore year of high school.
Two weeks of having to decide, every time I was thirsty - do I drink the milk (and resign myself to being unable to properly breathe for the next few hours) or the water (which would burn going down)? Mostly, I just stayed thirsty, which was probably the wrong choice.
My mom finally sent me to school anyway. I stumbled in with a massive headache and fogginess, only to find out that finals had started. Stumbled back home. Had to take my finals, all of them, a few days late with a special doctor's note. I was actually crying, it hurt that bad. I managed to pass, but how, I don't know.
But! At least there was no vomiting.
So maybe it wasn't worse than the current illness, maybe they're just about the same. After a certain level of awfulness, does it even matter anymore? What's the point of comparing them?
