After having the flu for the last few days, I can honestly compare it to pregnancy. My head hurts. My eyes feel like they're going to be sucked into my brain. My head is spinning. Things look foggy. I don't have the energy to get up and walk around. If I stay lying down , it isn't so bad. But as soon as I sit up or get up, the world starts spinning. My appetite is completely gone. I don't want to eat. I haven't eaten in 3 days. That part is different than pregnancy because during pregnancy, if I ate I would throw up. With the flu, I don't have the nausea. But the rest is basically the same.
I can handle this flu. It will last at the most 7 days, not 9 months. Of course with the 9 months I would get a baby, and this flu I will only appreciate being healthy. But this is doable.
Last time I had the flu, I felt this bad. But it was different. I even remember wanting to die. I hadn't been through pregnancy. I couldn't see the light at the end.
Interesting how life changes you. How experience molds you.
