This is the worst I've felt in recent memory.

That is all.

Ok now that is all.

Unfortunately you have a few miserable days ahead of you. I was diagnosed with pneumonia today, but in comparison I think the flu is worse. Good luck.

I'll find out tomorrow if it's actually flu or not. I've actually been starving most of the day but I definitely have a fever.

After watching the "bug" creep through the office, I finally have succumbed to a sore throat, headache, dry cough thing. It doesn't feel like the flu so far, but I am running a low grade fever, and my stomach is unhappy yet I am also ravenously hungry. Luckily I can work from home and not use up a sick day tomorrow.

My whole office is down with it. It's a nasty one this year. They all have kids and children are vectors.

I think I wasn't hit with it earlier because while I do work in a cube farm, I just happen to sit in the middle of a little pocket of coworkers who don't have kids.

I woke up one night feeling a bit queasy... spent the rest of the night on the bathroom floor. Suffice it to say, there was jet-propelled expulsion from both ends. Miserable virus.

There is a really bad strain going around this year that isn't a part of the normal flu strain. My wife gets sick all the time because her immune system sucks. She's actually scared of it because a friend of a friend who was only 28 died from it yesterday.

Everyone take care and take the necessary precautions.

Whatever it is, I have had it for the last week and a half. Not sure if I should be happy or disappointed that it coincided with 8 days I had already scheduled off over a 2 week span.

Had it back in '09 when everyone was in a panic. I don't envy you. I'm scared that my wife is coming down with it. This could be very, very difficult with two kids.

peel and thinly slice a generous palm full of fresh ginger, zest a citrus fruit of your choice, and add 10 cinnamon sticks to 2 qts of boiling water in a 4 qt pot. reduce to simmer for 40 minutes. add 2 teaspoons of honey per a cup when serving hot.

the drink is intense, not unpleasant, but intense, you'll be comfortable and able to breathe for 6-8 hours and you'll get over it a lot quicker.

In reply to moparman76_69:

My whole family just went thru this. It sucked big time. I was the sickest out of the 5. Took me two weeks to recover. My wife and little son had it for a couple days. My little daughter had it for 2 days but she was the only one to vomit. My baby girl had NASTY diapers for a week (full box from Costco gone just like that!). berkeleying E36 M3, I swear the CDC/government has the cure but won't use it so they can cull humanity every fricking year.
