All day I’ve been under the blankets shivering.

I threw up so hard before that my thumbs locked up and I couldn’t move my hands for 15 minutes.

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Sounds like an awful bug you’ve got.

Hope you feel better soon.

That doesn’t sound good. Try and get some electrolytes and fluids in if you can. Sip it slowly.

If your hands locking up are related to electrolyte imbalances causing muscle spasm (especially low calcium) and you can’t keep anything down you might need to go to emergency for iv fluids
