Oh, Raptor, I'm sorry. I know what it's like to feel so lousy and the one who used to put up with the whining isn't here to make it better- or whine back. Even being sick is worse now, isn't it? My best remedy- the hottest bath you can stand for as long as you can stand it. Immerse yourself up to the earlobes- then quick, get into bed and sweat it off. Hopefully the bath will make you sleepy enough to get some good rest, too.
Hang in there, buddy. You can whine here as much as you need to. Or perhaps your silence since your initial thread is a good sign- keep off the computer and just rest, rest, rest!
