Semester 5 is making me fall sick

A 22 male presents with abdominal discomfort with increased bowel sounds since 10am today. He then developed a low grade fever which was getting worse. At 4pm, he had abdominal discomfort, malaise, muscle pain, nausea, headache and high fever. Whats the differential diagnosis?

Gastroenteritis? Food poisoning? What ever the diagnosis is, one things is for sure. Semester 5 is making me sick. Only 2/3 weeks ago i was down with fever and sore throat. Today, I'm down again. It looks like my body's immune system is fighting an uphill battle to keep me healthy, or at least not sick. It must be the long hours i go through, stress of examination and lack of sleep that's coming back to get me. Sigh. Hopefully I'll be well in time for IMS this Thursday. =(
