Yikes, I'm kind of right inbetween these two right now, woke up with a horrible headache

Christina, you mention fluish symptoms/feeling like getting hit by a truck. Should I call anyone if I'm feeling this way? I feel warm, really tired, sore, headache.
Thank you for all these responses I wish I had known better or they had told me. I had breakfast and a 'normal' sized lunch - which for me isn't much. On your advice I ate some good dinner last night - ordered out for it even. I'll try to keep eating good stuff, I guess it doesn't help that I'm RIGHT above the weight limit for donation so I'm pretty low weight and don't eat very big meals at all normally.
*really mad that I did this the week before something important for school - I thought it wouldn't be a problem

(I have had blood taken for tests a lot before, for someone my age at least, and never had a problem) I REALLY wish I had eaten more beforehand now and that they had given me juice as well as water...
*packs some OJ and cookies just incase XD*
