Daily Post: I am sick I catch flu and my head is dizzy. I hate days like today when I can't do and learn anything. I can't even read any material courses because it's hard for me to absorb the information in the article. My head is so painful so I just lay on the bed for hours and get some rest. I hope I can get well soon so I can learn and do whatever I want to do like when I'm all healthy.

Daily Post: I am sick

I catch have caught flu (not sure it needs 'the' since there are many kinds) and my head is feel dizzy. I hate days like today when I can't do and or (the 'not' of can't makes it necessary to use 'or' rather than 'and' - see examples) learn anything. I can't even read any material(?) courses/course materials because it's hard for me to absorb the information in the articles. My head is so painful so I just lay lie (lay is for eggs!) on the bed for hours and to get some rest. I hope I can get well soon, so I can learn study, and do whatever I want to do, like as I can when I'm all healthy.

 

I can do and learn anything (the problem is whether the 'and' refers to 'can' or to 'do/learn')
I can do, and learn, anything (use punctuation to remove any ambiguity)
I can do anything, and learn anything (or repetition of the object)

I can't do anything, and I can't learn anything (or use repetition of the modal verb and object)
I can do nothing and learn nothing (or remove the negative 'not')

 

It is often better to turn a negative sentence into a positive form:
I can't do anything
I can do nothing
I am unable to do anything

Daily Post: I am sick

I caught the flu and my head is dizzy. I hate days like today when I can't do or learn anything. I can't even read any course materials because it's hard for me to absorb the information in the articles. My head hurts so I just lie on the bed for hours to get some rest. I hope I can get well soon so I can learn and do whatever I want to do when I'm completely healthy.
