I was the same age, 23/24 ish and I think it was back in spring of 2005 when I got destroyed for 3 weeks with some sort of flu. I was bedridden for a week, couchridden for another and up but still pretty much useless by the 3rd week. I've never felt so weak, achy, dehydrated. Zero appetite. I lost at least 15 lbs and almost a month of university. It was a fluke that I got average grades that semester. All I can remember is thinking this must be how it feels to be in your 90s and dying. I never ever want to feel like that again.
