So I'm not asking for someone to diagnose me with something, I just kinda want peoples opinions as to what I may have.
I got sick yesterday, my body was aching all over, i had a fever, and chills... my head hurt, and I could barley swallow!
When I woke up this morning, I still had a fever, my body didn't ache, but whenever I got up my head would ache like CRAZY, and my throat is still bothering me as well.
I think I may have the flu or strep throat, but I'm not sure..
I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, but this is just driving me nuts

You poor thing. I think it sounds like the flu. When I had it I had similar side effects, although my body ached for days - eeek! I'd recommend plenty of bed rest and make sure you drink a lot of water as you will become dehydrated from the fever and you need to keep the temperature down by drinking plenty of water. Also make sure you eat at least 2 meals a day even if you have no desire to as this will help mend your body. Also, gargling warm salty water can help with your throat, but it may not help in only 24 hours.. sorry...I hope you feel better soon, it is absolutely miserable having the flu and I really understand how you must be feelings. Rest up and see what the doctor says tomorrow. Good luck xxx

Sounds like flu or a bad cold, most of the time if I have strep throat I have white spots in my throat, but a culture is the only way for sure, and if it is strep you need antibiotics to get over and not to spread it. Your fever is probably the reason for body aches and headache, before you get to the Dr. try some cold for sinus pills if your stomach can handle it, it will help ease the symptoms. Chicken soup will help too, :-)

sound like the flu!!! with strep throat or just a sore throught check the back of your thoat if you have white blisters then you have strep and strep can give you fever
body aches are mainly from not eating proper or over eating just not proper....
your head will hurt for many reasons! stress can bring that on!
so don't worry!

As you stated it could be an assortment of things. You actually could get on a health site and come up with all kinds of ailments. Your mind could go mad with worry, your symptoms are of many. Just make that doctor appointment and the guess will be over.
