Like a ton of bricks

I hate being sick.

My head feels like a ton of bricks. This headache just won't go away. I've taken medicine and tried to rest, but nothing seems to help.  My head just pounds and pounds. It feels like its going to explode.

My throat hurts too.  I keep coughing and I can't breathe.

I just hate being sick.

I know I'll get better, but right now I don't remember what not being sick feels like.
I have stuff to do, so I'll drag myself out of bed and get to work. I can sleep later.

I hate being sick. Everything feels so heavy; like a ton of bricks.
