Alright, so, since a couple hours ago, I've started to feel ill. I feel really warm, have been having stomach cramps and a mild headache on-and-off, and have nausea. I do not have a fever (temp of about 99 degrees--a bit higher than normal, sure, but certainly not a fever), and am not dehydrated (I've been drinking plenty of water). While I would normally do the rational thing here and just go to sleep and see if I feel better in the morning, I can't seem to fall asleep for some reason (I honestly just laid there for about an hour--I feel tired, but can't sleep). I don't believe it's due to stress, as I'm not anxious about anything in particular enough that I would feel it physically. It's not my "time of the month," either.
So, I'm at a dilemma: Do I call in sick, or do I just suffer through it? I haven't used any of my 10 sick days yet for this half of the year, but I would feel kind of guilty missing school already during only the second week, y'know? On the other hand, I feel bad enough that I believe it would affect my schoolwork considerably.
I would appreciate you guys' thoughts on this situation, be it either a suggestion as to why I feel the way I do, or if you think I should skip class or not.
I'm aware that I'm not known on this forum; I'm asking for advice, not attention. If you're just here to troll or post things like "tl;dr" or "it's lupus," then remember that I'm a nobody and not worth your time. |

Thanks for the responses (excluding one of you--you know who you are). I guess I'll go to school. A cold shower and some coffee should make me feel at least a bit better. And if I do end up actually getting ill, I could always go pay the school nurse a visit.
I guess I'm going to stay up all night though, because I still can't sleep. Yaaaay, foruming. |

"That will sure help." I already laid in bed for more than an hour. Might as well do something I enjoy rather than looking at the ceiling all night. |

Drink some peppermint tea or something. Even flapping would help. |

"Drink some peppermint tea or something. Even [no lol] would help." The only drinks we generally keep around here that aren't water have caffeine in them. That second thing you mentioned I already tried, didn't help. |
