Clampet Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Slowly starting to recover from the flu. Apparently it is a real epidemic according to the local MD. Missus had it since last Monday, I got it last Thursday. Really took the wind outta my sails. Lost 9 lbs (benefit), and have to force myself to eat. Next year I'll try the flu shot. Anyone else afflicted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I had it leading into the Easter weekend. Lost 8 pounds. Stomach cramps for 2 days, fever, achy, couldn't get warm. Started on Wednesday...at first real food on Sunday....took Monday and Tuesday off work before feeling strong enough to spend a day at the office. It was a brutal one that's for sure. Even after you start feeling better, you have no energy. Hope everyone starts to feel well again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Something went through a class I was teaching. I came down with whatever it was on Day 3 of a two week session and didn't feel right again for 3 weeks. It's only in the 4th week that I've actually started to feel close to normal but I'm still tired early in the evening. At least the cough has subsided, and the aches. So don't give up hope. You will live to fight another day. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyejigger Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 i've always gotten the flu shot and i've gotten the flu and many colds (docs always say "different strain of flu") this year i didn't get one by accident i kept missing the clinics, so far i've only had one minor cold that lasted less than a week, which is really wierd as i work with the public and am in contact with alot of ppl in a days work, fingers crossed the rest of the season goes well i usually always get a cold a couple of days before the long weekend of may hope u all feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
