The main symptom of this particular illness is that I feel as if my head is going to explode, like a bottle of Odwalla that was left outside in the sun for a week. It's not like any cold or flu I've ever had before, and the interesting thing is I feel like an illustration I saw once in a children's book of a person with an enormous head shaped like an onion or a water tower -- I thought it was from the second Alice in Wonderland book Through the Looking Glass, but haven't been able to find the illustration I'm looking for.

Maybe it's not the weirdest illness ever. That distinction may belong to the Alice In Wonderland Syndrome, in which people see the world and the people in it as being either very very tiny, or themselves as very very tiny and the rest of the world as unbelievably huge.
