I'm sorry to hear it's going around.
I had it for 3 weeks and spent days in bed I don't even remember.
Go to the Dr. now and get an antibiotic before it gets worse...it will.
And I hate doctors.
Oh, and the chicken soup is wonderful too...if eaten while in a hot bath up to your neck.
Don't feel so bad, Butalbee. In December I got the flu TWICE in two weeks! I went to my parent's house. My mom made me tea and soup and gave me juices. I felt silly letting myself be mommied like that (I am 28 years old), but I was so weak, I didn't argue.

butalbee, sorry to hear you are not doing well. I hope you feel better soon. I have had this nasty cough off and on for about 3 months but it took taking care of a sick husband for the past week for me to learn how to take care of it. haha, men are such babies aren't they? Gotta love 'em!
First off, I hear there are shots now to take care of the flu. What a wonderful thing! Years ago, if you had the flu there was nothing they could do since they relied upon antibiotics which only takes care of "bugs". Now, lo and behold, virus' are now in the forefront in medicine.
With the cough and congestion I would suggest a vaporizer, yes the kind we had as kids with the vick's. I actually enjoyed this with hubby, brought back warm cuddly memories of youth. Also, and just as important,...chicken soup (broth) there is an enzyme in the chicken fat that makes your nose run like nobodies business but it helps to clear everything out naturally.
Again, I do hope you feel better soon. This year seems to be the worst I have seen in years as far as flu's go. I personally have not had anything close to this in over 8 years.

All I can say after everyone's good advice is, get well soon

Oh, I feel for you very much. Be prepared though, it takes awhile to kick this flu. I was where you are at now about two weeks ago and I still have the headache, slightly and that damn cough is a bitch. The fever kept going up and down, yet it finally ceased after about a week.

Thank you EVERYONE, it's nice to know that you all care!!!!
Just got back from doctors, and yes, I've got the flu. YUCK!!! He gave me a shot[ouch] and an inhaler called Relenza, that's supposed to help. Oh, and that I'm out of work for couple days, can't help but smile for that one.
