Best advice given. If you have a smart phone make a video of what your going through right now as well,

I remember mine like it was yesterday:
  • Can't sleep but can't stay awake
  • Auido hallucination when you start to nod off
  • Crazy nightmares (usually violent in nature) when you do manage to sleep for 10 minutes
  • Turkey skin
  • Hot sweats one minute, freezing cold the next
  • Inability to concentrate and extreme anxiety

Just to name a few. Not trying to scare you but that's some of what you can expect.

By the blood tests I'm assuming you went to the doctor but don't be afraid to go back if needed. You'll start to feel human again after 3-4 days and at least 2 weeks until a shade of normal from my experience.

Document this so you remember. Good luck. It gets better but hell now.
