Seems everyone but us, we got the flu shot. If we hadn't I could really die. Not kidding-- think I still had a mild case, because I ran a low fever for a few days any way. Hope you feel better soon. It has been along time for you.

No. I've not had the flu for almost 10 years now. When I did get it it lasted about three days and I was wiped out during that time.
Prevention is the best Rx. Try this before the next flu season:
Daily - a variety of fruits, veggies and no drinks with added sugar.
Avoid touching eyes and mouth when in public and wash hands with soap and water whenever you've been in the presence of an infected person.
These measures seem to work for me.

Go to the doctor! The flu may just seem like a PIA but can be much more dangerous. You really need to find out if it's flu or not and get treatment. You don't wanna mess around with this.Really!

I had it and it lasted a little over 2 weeks. My daughter and granddaughter have been fighting it over a month, so who knows how long it can last. Hope you feel better soon.
By the way, we've all been to the Dr. for it and they are just telling you to take over the counter meds. to help with the symptoms, drink plenty of fluids and rest. Antibiotics aren't going to help and aren't recommended because we need to build a resistance to all these bugs which we haven't been doing for years.
