Pneumonia

I like plain tea with raspberry syrup, it's really good...if you can get real raspberry syrup, it's the most soothing thing. Tons of fluids. When I'm sick I try to drink as many fluids as I can. Tea, water, juice...that's the good stuff.

You can also drink chicken broth straight out of the can. That's good too. Just boil it and pour it into a cup. The broth is salty and delicious, it usually soothes the throat and gives you a nice warm sensation.

I've dealt with like 6 or 7 respiratory infections this year so I know how you feel.

Unfortunately, I don't like tea..crazy right? I don't really like hot drinks that much. As for drinking fluids, I'm trying, but it's really upsetting my stomach. I'll just have to tough it out.

I have an 8 hour exam on Saturday! It's not a final.

Just take it easy.
Don't exert yourself, and drink lots of soup and tea.
You just have to grit your teeth through it.

Also, I thought it was funny that the first thing you said was "I have pneumonia" and finished off that same paragraph with "The Doctor said I probably have pneumonia."

I hope you don't do the same mistake for Cancer.

I was delusional, so excuse my redundancy. I'm starting to feel a little better actually, and I'm eating more food, which will be good to keep up my strength.

I can't sleep.

I've been trying since 10:20 PM, and it's now 3:14 AM! This is ridiculous. I'm so sick that I can't sleep? My head hurts so much, and I was struggling breathing unless I forced it out. This is the third night now that I have had trouble sleeping, I just don't know what to do. How can I get better if I don't get any rest?

Have you tried watching a movie? Usually if I turn on a movie at 2 or 3 in the morning I fall asleep within 10 or 15 minutes. Otherwise I toss and turn as well.

No, I haven't, but I'd rather not try. I might just try to fall asleep in my chair. It is comfortable, and I seem to feel better when I'm sitting upright. I'm so sleep deprived right now, that I feel a little crazy.
