All my joints hurt, severe headache, sore throat, fever, nose running, coughing, feeling dizzy, nauseous, and breath on par with a camel.

I've been trying to hold off my sneezes by pinching my nose. Last sneeze put me down for 15 minutes with all over body pains and a blinding headache.

Uggghhh, I shoulda gotten that flu shot. For now, DayQuil is my friend, and tonight NyQuil (with just a drop of Jagermeister) will be my bedtime sleeping buddy.

I guess the good part about it is I can stay home and watch the USC/Texas game.

Someone pass me the Kleenex!

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've had it since sunday. I was at my girlfriends when it hit me, and when I got home everyone here was sick.. So it's HELLO RELAPSE! I'm goin to bed now.

 

I have never had the flu. I have already experianced flu like symptoms and even then I thought I would die. Never got a flu shot either. Sucks to be you guys.

 

Same here

 

At least you haven't had the sweats. Nothing like waking up in bed with a puddle of sweat. Even my beach towels couldn't keep up.

I get my flu shot, almost every year, but usually I get something like the flu every few years. I guess at least the symptoms are less than they used to be when I thought I would die.

Just getting over my bout which started the day after XMAS and with me getting out of bed by the 30th.

PITA,

i will trade you.
i will take your flu, if you will take my frozen shoulder socket.
no questions asked.
even trade.
as a matter of fact, i will take 2 flu's.
and i will even throw in the pain killers and anti inflammatory pills for free.

 

I know what your talking about. I had the flu a couple of weeks ago, temp peaked at 104 degrees, sweats, chills, headache, body aches, etc. It put me down for 4 1/2 days.

 

When I was a kid the “flu” was up half the night bowing to the porcelain throne, and if you were a good actor you got out of school the next day. I never thought much of flu shots since it was not a real big deal. Last year I got what I am told was the flu. I will NEVER miss a flu shot again. I spent a week in bed, and a month after that getting over it.

 

I don't really think I've had the flu, and am with bigdaddy on this one. Don't think I'm going to get a flu shot either.

In the meantime, just try and drink a lot of fruit juices. Tropicana (i think) makes one with orange, strawberry and banana in it--an old girlfriend used to call it 'get better juice', and it honestly always made us feel better if we got sick. Lots of anti-oxidants.....or something.

 

I thought my stuffy nose was unseasonable....

I bought beer and drank more water!

(I've been toploading vitamin C anyway...)

 

Yech fruit juices?? Maybe something thin like apple juice but I couldn't imagine drinking anything with some thickness to it.

I finally manned up and tried to eat solid food in celebration of the Horns winning, I downed a turkey pot pie. 30 minutes later I was doing my paperwork like I've never done before, if you get my drift.

I went ahead and pre-called into work for tomorrow, so I'll have another good day of rest before I try to do anything with this sickness.
