The Flu
I have it. It sucks.
Everytime I get it I can't stop thinking about Captain Tripps.

Had it last week, as you said, it sucks. Yeah, the stand comes to mind every year - loved the book. As long as your dreaming of Mother Abigail you'll survive Wink

Count me in. My wife got it on Monday. I stayed home Tuesday to take care of her, and had it by Tuesday night.

I was so sick I could not get out of bed on Wednesday. I was up Thursday but still pretty sick. Back to work today, but only because I don't get sick pay.

Here it is Friday night. I'm up and around, but far from feeling healthy. Frown

I've heard receantly when you first feel the symptoms, hit the elderberry extract. Supposed to work well. Look that up on line.

The ex forgot to get my boy his flu shot (had I known I would have) and sure enough he caught it last month. Bad symptoms for about 4-5 days then just feeling like a bad cold the rest of the week. Feel better man, flu sucks.

Woke up with flu symptoms last Wednesday, by lunch it was full on. Luckily they put me on tamiflu by that afternoon, and honestly by Saturday I felt a whole lot better. By Monday I was symptom free.

I had the fever of 102+ for 5 days. A cough for a couple weeks or more. My daughter was only really sick for 36 hours. My son had the fever for 3, got better, and is now sick again sith something else.

Best of luck, my friend! Its a bitch.

I have not had it this season.

I got the inoculation, it does work most years IMHO.

I'm ready for it to go away. I've not seen a flu outbreak as long as this one in quite some time. Usually there will be an increase in flu activity that will last for maybe 2 weeks. This current increase has been going on since mid-January. I'm still seeing prescriptions for Tamiflu come through my pharmacy.
Hope you get feeling better smithnsig.
