Oh huh HELL yes on Saturday night..fever, chills, chest congestion....not good at all. Slowly, trying to recover...lots of time spent just staring into space.

I had it not too long ago. Took me about 10 days to get rid of all symptoms. I probably should have gone to the Dr. Lol but I never did. And like you I slept a ton.

I got it here bad. Ache all over. Haven't left the house. Can't even muster the energy to argue on the gun control thread... going to die.

Just out of curiosity--did any of you who got the flu get flu shots this year?

I did not, and I haven't gotten sick yet.

We've seen a lot of flu at the hospital I work at here in TN, Some cases were those who got the shot, and they weren't nearly as bad, still hospitalized mostly due to the fact that they were people with multiple other conditions and it didn't take much to tip them off the deep end. All of us who were immunized don't seem to be getting it, or are merely experiencing minor problems. This years flu is indeed a M%^&*(*&r.

Heard the shot is only 60% effective this year...and it's a good year for the vaccine. We got hit here in my family pretty hard, but I'm treatable with OTC stuff. Wife got Tamiflu, daughter needed it, but didn't get to it in time. Son hasn't got it yet.

I had the shot. Still sick.

Hope u all feel better fast, really sad stories. My wife says the flu shot only covers 3 strands of the flu, which she says there is a couple other strands that are showing up that are just not covered in the shot. It is really bad where she practices.

My wife was told to take a week off work. So much for vacation time! She'd already used a couple of days and comes home from our anniversary to be sick. Cough and pain all over are the worst parts of this bug.
