Viral meme blues

So I have this viral thingy that's keeping me off work. It's kind of spooky, I feel kind of bi-polar in an ill sort of way. One minute I'm feeling fine and full of great plans and energy, the next thing I know I feel like I've a horrible hangover, one of those ones you know will only get worse. The doc reckons it could last for up to six weeks, I can't believe this, I absolutely refuse to believe it, it is not possible, it will not happen.
