West Nile Virus?

For the past couple days I've been pretty sick with an unrelenting headache that is rivaled by nothing I've ever experienced, nausea, and the occasional low grade fever. I finally went to the doctor and his hunch is that I may have West Nile Virus. He took blood work and suggested I'd have results back on Monday. As I've spent the last 48 hours in bed with my pillow, Clash of Clans, and 11w to keep me company I thought I'd run some questions past you (mostly) fine folks.

Has anyone here ever had the pleasure of having this awesome virus? Or maybe you knew someone close to you? Any advice on what I should expect or things that helped you get through it would be greatly appreciated. It's pretty terrible, to be quite honest, and my understanding is that there's no prescribed medicine to help - you just have to let it run its course and stay hydrated. Anything would help!
