How are you feeling?

Lately I have been asked the question, "how are you feeling?" more than I have at any other point in my life. The reason for this is because I am 3 months pregnant (or at least I think this is the reason). I feel bad when I reply with a simple answer because it's usually not the whole truth. I have never felt so crappy in my entire life- NEVER! And people have never been this genuinely concerned either. I wish I could say, "Well, let's see... I threw up everything I ate for four days straight. I would eat ten pieces of rice chex cereal and BAM, I'd throw up. It got to the point that my throat and the roof of my mouth were so sore from the acid that I couldn't even close my mouth. So, my Doctor prescribed a nausea pill commonly given to cancer patients undergoing radiation. The two most common side-affects are headaches and constipation. Lucky me, right?" So is it wrong for me to say "I'm fine"? What happened to the days when people would pass me in a hall and ask how I was doing, but would be around the corner before I could give them an answer? I miss those days.
