Something is kicking my old man poosay ace. Started sneezing and blowing snot yesterday. Woke up this a.m at 8:00 with a bad headache, took migraine meds - nothing. By 11:00 I had body aches all over. Right after lunch developed bad shaky chills. Took my temp - 100.8. Super tired, feel like sheet.
Anybuddy know of anything like that going around? Please say a prayer, sing a song, or tell a dad joke in my honor.

It's probably just indigestion.

......with a little bit of covid.
Seriously, try an old fashioned Benadryl (or two if brave). It's called Benadryl Allergy now, and is a pink pill.

Has anyone here ever had a Stye on the lower eyelid where it feels like there is something hard the size of a green pea under your skin? It came a long fast too, or maybe I just didn't notice until yesterday. Anyone?

Yes.Warm compresses 3-4 times a day to the region and gentle scrubbing of the eyelid with either warm water or a bit of Johnson's baby shampoo will usually take care of the problem.
On occasion you have to have a minor surgical procedure to open the area to let it drain.
I used to get them fairly often, but haven't had any in 35+ years as I gently scrub my eyelids with a washcloth and warm water to remove the secretions that can block what are called the meibomian glands which produce oils.
Good luck!

I always prefer driving if I have the time. Kind of hard to pull over at the next exit when I’m flying.

I mean, he was gored by a black rhinoceros in western Botswana, but he definitely had those same symptoms like just a week before he left the US.
