Flu

Anybody else getting their butt kicked by this thing? I've been down for almost a week. Having my eye surgery in the middle of it didn't help either. Got the second eye next week.

Wife is coming down with it now.

Houtex - so sorry to hear you've been down with a bug for so long. I had a similar experience back in September, and then a cold in November that lasted 3 weeks, so have much sympathy.

Get well soon!

My wife had it for the past two weeks now. Her doc put her on Augmentin now and that makes her queezy by itself. A buddy of mine from a little town about 25 miles from here had it for most of three weeks.

I had a touch of it for 4-5 days. But, the Navy Rum chased the germs off.

Wished you,d keep it down south. Had stuff for a week and still feel like ----. Maybe next week will be better.

Jgrden · 02-24-2008, 07:48 PM

Houtex: Good luck buddy. Take it easy and get rest. We have been fortunate in not getting it yet. Had our flu shots but I guess they aren't really working against this new strain. I was surprised to see how many Fanatics are sick with the flu.

wildcat66 · 02-24-2008, 07:53 PM

Not sick here, but plenty of people around me keep getting/giving it

Sorry your sick, eat lots of chicken soup and don't let it get to bad, pneumonia and bronchitis is running rampant along with the flu! Take care!

Tanya is going on four weeks and it's been hell.

XSELER8 · 02-24-2008, 09:51 PM

Good luck with the surgery

HotRodGirl · 02-24-2008, 09:54 PM

I don't know how I've managed not to get it as I have been around many with it

Hoping not to see it rule it's ugly head

Feel sorry for those whom have

roadsterjeff · 02-24-2008, 10:21 PM

Had it this past week and it was my scheduled week off from work, so that really sucked. I came back to work tonight after missing a couple of nights work. First time in my life I ever went to a Dr because I felt bad and needed some meds. I was (am) on Augmentin, too. Take care all......

susiessr · 02-25-2008, 09:24 AM

It's a FIVE WEEKER disease. This house had it. Got it five days after my foot surgery.
YUK!

I've been working from home since last Wednesday with the crud. My colleagues at work appreciate that I'm not "shaing" with them. The crud is running rampant through Honeywell in Phoenix and I am trying to do my part to break the cycle.

On the other hand...........

Our household includes Debbie's daughter who is an assistant teacher for a Kindergarten and her four boys ages 10, 8, 5 & 3. EVERYTHING that they come across at the schools comes home.

Definitely a no-win situation......

I'm on the mend and will be back up to full speed in a couple days. Lots of drugs, fluids and naps.......

It's not uncommon for me to get some small respiratory problems when I get back from an international trip. This came on 3 days after I got back from Scotland week before last. I just kept thinking it would fix itself........NOT!!!

"The whole store got the flu...."

I had it ,the flu , for about three weeks.....finally one morning woke up and it was gone.......I have heard some have been two to four weeks... be careful
plenty of clear fluids and lots of bed rest......

TucsonSSR · 02-26-2008, 11:58 AM

My fiancee and I have had it since February 1st! We're still sick as dogs. Her ear drum ruptured Saturday. I'm coughing my brains out... not many left... {wheeze} lslvjooqwoe jdo adsjf jdaov
