SUFFER, RINSE, REPEAT

My entire existence has been reduced to a series of tight cycles of what I'm going to have to call suffering for lack of a better term. It goes something like this:

- Take penicillin
- Within the next hour or so, fever ramps up for some reason
- Stagger to ibuprofen and handy ice pack
- Take ibuprofen
- Tie ice pack to head*
- Wait

Eventually the fever dies back down and I feel like a human being again. But what the hell. Also, I've quit taking the ibuprofen because it doesn't seem to do anything for the fever and I wish to not destroy my stomach lining. I'm not trying acetaminophen because of a reason.

I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE DONE PLEASE

* This icepack is currently my most precious possession. It has ties on it that enable you to affix it to your head and walk around.
