They reported last week that they missed the flu strain this year. Sooooo if you got the flu shot you are likely not covered for the strain going around this year. It is nasty. Body Aches, temp, 101-103 sore throat, cough. Sx's last 3-5 days. It can go into pneumonia especially if you are older.
We are really watching the elderly. I have ran out of IV bags at work!
Fluids, (water), tylenol, motrin, REST!!!! PLEASE STAY AT HOME. your co workers don't want it!!!!
I am sorry you are ill.
I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hubby has it. HAD to go see the doctor today. Fever of 103 for 2 days staight and will not break, cough, sore throat, can barely lift his head up, and is having breathing issues.
Doctor told him that if he did not go into the office today and got some meds it could have turned into pneumonia cause he has a ton of gunk in his chest.
He was supposed to start a trip today, had to call off, chief pilot immediately called back, and what did the chief pilot say? Are you sure you can't work your trip? Send me a note from the doctor, get better.
Poor hubby can't even get off the couch or bed. His chills are so bad. What really stinks is that I am NOW getting it! UGHHH Who's gonna take care of me when I get it?
