I had it last year, was off college for a month but it didn't really go away for a few months after that. The only thing I could eat was spaghetti, yogurt or ice cream as nothing else would actually fit down my throat. I would get a maximum of 2 hours sleep per night, I fell asleep and then woke up every 15-25 minutes, all night. I would get completely knackered walking up the stairs. I started to hallucinate near the end due to lack of sleep, that was interesting. You won't be able to breath with your nose at all, not one bit. You know when you think you can't breathe through your nose, but you sorta can? Nothing like that, nose completely 100% blocked off, if someone covered your mouth you would suffocate. Swallowing was beyond hard to the point where you have to take a few minutes to psyche yourself up for it. So yeah, enjoy yourself:P
