[aggie49]

you no when your sick for a couple of days and you think you got it licked so you feel better for a day or so and it comes back twice as bad i just hate that i have the flu and thought i was done with it and today i feel like hell again

[ebrunt]

Ugh, yeah! I hate that. It happens to me with colds all the time. Unfortunately, I have an awful immune system and I'm always getting colds anyway. Sorry to hear about your flu -- back in 2009 I had the flu in February and the stomach flu in March or April. It was awful. I hope it goes away for good soon!

If you get the flu stuff that dissolves in water it will make you feel better I know it comes in an orange box..It's made vicks you should try it.

Yea! I know what you mean. I try to pump myself with vitamin C if I feel something coming on. It normally works for me, just about 2 weeks ago I was feeling blah, Like I was coming down with something and I pumped my self with about 2000 mg a day of C for about 2 days and I felt better.

[sherryfan]

yes, many times...prevention from the flu...Vitamin C, flu shot, drink plenty of water and rest....wish you better.

The common symptoms of the flu include:
•Fever (100°F or greater)
•Headache
•Muscle aches
•Chills
•Tiredness

•Runny nose (more common in children than adults)
and one last inportant thing you need to know Symptoms generally appear 1 to 4 days after exposure to the virus

We have all had one this fall that seems to last for weeks.  I've had days where I have gone from feeling pretty good to horrible and back again several times in one day. My son added a bad cough and finally ended up with pneumonia.  We have had lots of whooping cough in WA State. Feel better soon.

It sure is a bummer to be sick. I just got over pneumonia myself. I suffered with it for two weeks before I was forced to go to ER because my lung hurt so bad I could not even lay down.

When you are sick you have to maintain warmth so you don't depress your immune system. You feel you are recovered and you go out and expose yourself to cold temperatures, then you will have a resurgence of the symptoms.

[vickysue]

Get a flu shot, it will keep you from getting most of it. My grandma always said 7 days comming and 7 days going, pretty much true.

[batmobile]

yeah  some  people react that way to a LIVE virus duh! lol

Hope you feel better soon. Recently had the same thing happen with my kids, with both of them falling sick one after the other, and just when I thought it was over, the infection came back. Caring for sick kids is very tiring.

your body tried to fight it off best it could..try emergen c or airborn when flu season hits

This just recently happened to me. My mother-in-law was very sick, but she didn't tell her son, who decided to bring our daughter over to see her, which in turn, got our daughter sick, then my husband got sick, and then I got sick!!!! After a week, I thought I had it licked, but then the coughing began again, and the headaches, and the sinuses clogged and drained-AGAIN!!!.  Luckily, I received some Airborne stuff from my friend, and about a week after it came back, It was gone just as fast. Coincidentally, out of the three of us, our daughter was the happiest person with the flu IN THE WORLD. She made me laugh everyday I felt horrible, even though she was coughing and had a runny nose, ect. When all else fails, daughters really are the best medicine!!!

It happens to me all the time. I get sick, start feeling better, then it comes back again.
