Cold, Flu, or something else?
About a week ago I developed a stuffy nose, which I just assumed was the start of a cold or allergies. It progressed into a scratchy/sore throat, fatigue, a headache, and now tonight I have a fever of 99.9 and hives to go along with that. I have been sleeping any period of time that I possibly can because I'm so tired and generally feel sickly. I am hopefully going to the student health center tomorrow morning, however, I am feeling bad and can't sleep but have no clue what to do to attempt to feel better since I'm not sure what I have. I didn't think they flu was around this early, and I've never actually had the flu so I'm not sure what I am dealing with. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas of what is going around?

Sounds like a bad cold. Flu usually has a more rapid onset, but it's still a possibility. Rest and drink clear fluids.
