AAAH RWJ SUCKS! & SO DOES BEING SICK!

So you guys are probably wondering, gee, where's that Zodiac and Matrix Revolutions review eh? Welp, I've been sick since Tuesday; I'm still sick, in fact.. but today I can move my neck, woohoo! What's been wrong with me? Well, Monday night I had a headache so I took some motrin and went to sleep.. woke up Tuesday, felt crappy, like a sinus infection as usual when the weather acts up, so I took some Day-Quil, went to work, felt odd all day.. just generally got sicker... come Tuesday night I couldn't move my neck really, it got pretty stiff. I take some more motrin and put a heating pad on my neck and fall asleep.. Wednesday morning I feel kinda out of it, lil stiff neck.. nothin bad.. saw Matrix.. had lunch.. come 4 when I'm supposed to go to work I feel like im dying, so I stop at 7-11 to take some Day-Quil tablets, and then I head to work... I start to feel better, but after work again I felt awful - headache, couldn't move my neck at all, etc. This time I take a muscle relaxer that I have lyin around since my jaw issue in July, and fall asleep till 2pm on Thursday.. I get up on Thursday.. feel like crap, fall back asleep.. wake up around 5 sweating, so I figure a fever broke.. and I feel great, better than I had the past few days. I go to class, come home.. all of a sudden, back comes the stiff neck, it was awful. So I take more of my assortment of medication and go to sleep.. and get up, I feel alright so I gi to work Friday.. by 5 Friday I felt awful again, headache comin back, stiff neck comin back, and now some weird ear infection, so I decide ok, it's time to go to the doctor. So my mom and I go to my doctor around 7.. they were worried I might have something serious, such as, oh, menengitis, and I had my fever back, so they tell me to go to the emergency room. So we go to Robert Wood Johnson at 8, sit in the emergency room for THREE HOURS! I started feeling worse and worse, and finally at 11 I get to actually go into a room. The doctor there also wanted to check and see if I had menengitis or not, so they took 5 vials of blood from each of my arms, and they gave me a spinal tap which IVing me up.. then I had to sit there with the IV still in me for an hour and a half while I waited for test results. Turns out that no, luckily, I don't have menengitis, just some nasty viral infection - go home and rest and let it work its way out. Gee, thanks. So I get home Friday night/Saturday morning at 2am, feel awful, fall asleep. This morning (Saturday) I still felt crappy, but I decided to go to work. I was half out of it most of the itme, and my lower back was aching a lot from the needle I guess. But I made it through the day, and here I am early Sunday morning typing this.. I have a nice headache on the top of my head, and feel like I'm gonna throw up.. so off to bed I go. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow so I can clean my room, do some homework, watch a movie or two, play FFXI.. type up those reviews.. heh. We'll see. Here's hoping I get better, ugh.
