i am really amazed how my body got over the flu in 2 days!!!! here's how it happened... late friday, my throat getting sore,i knew something was up. Saturday around 9 am, swallowing was a pain. I could still do normal stuff and eat. 3 pm, i started feeling light-headed, eyes become more sensitive to light, started to feel nauseous so i took a nap. 5 pm, i had a slight head ache and eyes really, really sensitive to light. started getting the chills. no matter how many sweaters i put on, i still felt cold. i lost my appetite too, how could i pass on raost beef!!! Just drank some more juice and water. played video game and took a nap. 9 pm. felt really weak, plus all the symptoms ive said. i've developed a fever. wierd feeling combined with the chills, hot and cold at the same time. treid to eat, watch tv, then went to sleep at 12. Woke up Sunday at 11, feeling better but, shoulder muscles were hurting, took tylenol, nose was runny too. Monday...runny nose is only what i can show for =)

Sounds like it was more like a cold. The "flu" meaning, Influenza, is much worse, and symptoms last as long as two weeks. Even with meds, symptoms will last for at least 7-10 days. The true flu will make you have fever, chills, vomiting and/or diarreah and all you will want to do for the first few days is sleep. People too often confuse colds with the flu. Trust me, once you have had the actual flu, you will laugh when people have a cold and call it the flu.

Its not totally gone yet, i had the exact same thing happen to me 4 weeks ago, except i thought i was all cured and after i played basketball i developed another fever and the flu lasted for aother week. If its just a runny nose, then the flu is pretty much gone, but like i said, dont get too active or it might come back. Get alot of sleep, vitamin C, and water, but not cold water.

You could probably use a dose of iron and vitamin B12, which you can get from blackstrap molasses and seaweed, respectively. There are a lot of reasons for your heart to speed up. It could be an anxiety problem, a thyroid problem, hormonal fluctuations, etc. An EKG can determine if you have a heart rhythm problem or heart disease. Also, it sounds like maybe you didn't completely get over the first bout of sickness and it came back with a vengeance. Drink lots of water and juice and see a doctor about your heart.

could have been a 24/48 hrs flu. Flu's don't aways last a week or longer. just deeps on the strand thats going around or how fast your body can fight the virus.

This is a great expository recounting of your experience!
You take care of your health--when you feel out of sorts, you drink fluids, take naps and lower your activity level.
It works!!!!
