and the best thing you can do for yourself right now is do NOT try to go to class. I know you're busier than blue bloody fuck, and can't afford to get behind. But neither can you afford to lose three weeks or more to pneumonia, strep, or genuine influenza, any of which could account for your current symptoms. Though the joints thing is bugging me, there's some connection there that my mind just hasn't made yet. Even if you can't go to a doctor, call one. And although clothes hurt, they are necessary...do not let yourself get chilled. You're doing the right thing with the vitamins and water and so forth, although I'd like to know more aobut the oscilliococcinum - it's not one with which I am familiar. If your throat continues to try to hurt, gargle hot salt water. It's VILE, but it is very very effective at killing germs in your throat and helping to prevent secondary infections of the eustacean tubes. About two tablespoons of salt in a cup of water, as hot as you can comfortably stand it, gargled twice in half an hour, twice a day (that's 4x total per day). As I said - vile, but it works.
So sorry to hear your going through this, hon. Please let me know if there's anything I can do from this end.
