I have spent the past two weeks being very, very sick with what is, in my opinion, now the worst flu I have ever had. My fever spiked 40C (104F) a couple three times, I had really bad chills, weak as a kitten, very achy limbs and joints. Along with severe sinus congestion and moderate lung congestion. I slept something like 16 hours straight through, got up for an hour or two, then went and slept another 16 hours. If you have migraines then you know what to expect from the head ache, if you never had a migraine then let me tell you will be enjoying the worst headache you have ever had complete with light and noise sensitivity.
If you are in a high risk group for complications and you haven't gotten a flu shot yet - do it now. Like today. Even if you are not at high risk you may want to seriously consider getting the shot/jab for this one.
The MSN and CNN websites are saying this flu season is getting worse, going from bad to worse.
If you are prone to pneumonia or lung infections after a cold/flu, be prepared to deal with a secondary infection.
I would suggest stocking up now on Cold and Flu remedies/treatments. Most OTC products treat the symptoms and make you feel better, they do not give you a free pass to go around spreading the virus - so stay in bed, stay at home until the bug finishes vandalizing your body.
