That happened to me in 2000...it was the first year in a long time that I didn't get the flu shot. As a result, it ended up saving my life. When they were looking over my chest xrays, they found a good sized tumor on my heart. Had I not gotten so ill, they may have found it too late. I haven't had a flu shot since.
Well, it is 2007 and I'm still kickin'.
You hang in there for "this too shall pass".

I don't know what Pleurisy is, but that sure sounds bad. I had the flu earlier this winter last year. I've gone a year or two without being ill, but nothing that serious.

If I had the flu, it didn't take me out. I got a cold, and ached a bit, but I couldn't afford to slow down. I just did the best I could and pressed on in school.
I might have been aching because I play racquetball a lot. When I play, I frequently hit the floor and walls making saves.

As a health care professional, I took the flu shot. So far this winter, illness has avoided me. Alas, it is still early in the season. Feel better soon.

Nope. It is going around the office (started late November, I think) and has turned in to pneumonia and bronchitis for many. :(
