I believe I had it.  I woke up as usual and ended up back in bed with the aches and felt miserable.  I couldn't eat for a day.  By the next day, I had taken something and felt better.  I wasn't the only person sick.  Two people from my church were sick as well. :-

I didnt get the flu but I have had an annoying cough for two months. The dr. gave me cough syrup with codeine, not working, sucks.

I thought I was coming down with it a couple of times but thank goodness it went away. I get a flu shot every year so maybe I won't get it. I try to be careful and use hand sanitizer a lot so I don't take it to the nursing home.

I may have had it for a day or 2 but, nothing serious. It was just mostly sore throat and snotty nose. It seems like everything cleared up the next day after I took one airborne medicine that night.

Yep.  I contracted a different strain of flu from the one for which I receive a flue shot.  I was achy, chilly, tired, and full of mucous. I got over this in about 6 days after taking some home remedies--gummy vitamin C and some other things.

I did not get the flu.  Never have had it.  I did have a stomach virus this winter but it only lasted 1 day.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

No I got the flu shot. It's usually worth getting it to me.
