Symptom narrative

I worked here and this was my former employer. 24 hours later I began to feel really faint and tired. I believe that I asked to go home. That evening, I developed a severe throat and swallowing pain around my neck lymph nodes that persisted for the next five days. I also had general internal infection-like reactions of a mild fever and aching joints and muscles that could be somewhat alleviated by alternating 800 mg doses of ibuprofen and 1000 mg doses of Tylenol every four hours. I got a test done at the doctor's office, and I had neither strep nor Covid-19, yet was not tested for the flu. I was woken every night for those five nights in immense pain as the either previous dose of ibuprofen or Tylenol wore off. After being wretchedly sick for five days, I decided that I was not going to miss a planned weekend trip in the golden leaf-changing trees, and so I went and took even more ibuprofen and Tylenol and still drank plenty of whiskey talking with friends old and new around the fire before passing out in the trunk of my friend's car camper for the night. I believe I shocked my system back to normalcy, because the next morning I awoke feeling wonderful and had no further problems.
