-
That's the reason my doctor wants me my wife did get the flu shot every year so we don't get it. That is the flu we have earned since we been getting our shot each year we have had a the flu very bad at all little bit of headache all.
-
I had the very nasty stomach variety flu. It hits you pretty hard the first 24 hours, then takes a couple more days to really fade away. It leaves you fairly drained.
-
I had the stomach flu last weekend. Spent most of the weekend in bed.
-
last week me and sister were both puking it was so not fun
-
So far I've been lucky but I always get the stomach virus kind. I make sure to wash my hands and take some vitamin c but some how it always finds me.
-
I have not gotten the flu, but my sister had it a week ago in NJ. I stayed away from her, because i do not want to catch it.....
-
I had a form of the flu twice this year already, it only lasted for 24 hours. But this is the
first time I had the flu in over 10 years!
-
I was good and sick right around Christmas but I don't think it was the flu. Some of my co-workers have had it, but thankfully I haven't caught it (...yet *knocks on wood*)
-
I had the flu during the week of Thanksgiving.
-
i havent had it and hoping i dont get it eithor!!! :dog:
-
I had flu 4 weeks ago. good luck.
-
My son had a strain in Sept. Then last week my daughter caught another strain which my son got from her. My husband and I took tamiflu and did not get it. The dr. who saw my daughter said about 50 percent of the positive diagnosis' he is seeing right now are in people who had the flu shot.
-
no, i got a flu shot awhile back and it seems to have helped :wave:
-
It seems like everywhere I turn someone has the flu right now. It's a bad time.
-
Had a little bit of a cold, but not the flu.
-
It's been 3 years since my flu shot, but i'm getting 1 soon b/c flu nowaday is really scary.
-
I don’t have the flu. I don’t believe in getting flu shots and OTC medication because they are not effective. I don’t visit the doctor when I get sick. I rely on following the laws of nature and meditation to do the healing. Your fever is nature’s emergency response of burning up excess toxins in your body.
-
I had a real bad infection but not the flu. I just hate being sick period.
-
We fortunately have not but my brother has had a severe case that seems to just hang on. Know several others who have had the flu. I work in the medical industry and flu is definitely prevalent this year.
-
I haven't had the flu in a long time but I've been hearing about it. I found this blog post on a site I visit every once in a while, maybe those who are sick can try it out: http://naturalremedysite.blogspot.com/2013/01/natures-tamiflu-elderberry-extract.html
If I had a cold or some type of virus, I would try this or another type natural remedy like Nettle Tea. Just try to keep your immune system up by eating right; and washing your hands often, especially when you're coming in the house from being out. Be sure to sanitize surfaces and doorknobs if there is a sick person in the household as well.
-
I had the stomach flu 2 weeks ago, I haven't had it in literally 6 years and then out of the blue I started feeling sick. I was up all night getting sick, but never had a fever. I went to the urgent care by my house & they confirmed that I definitely had the stomach flu. It lasted about 3 days and I'm so glad it's gone!
My mom on the other hand has a terrible cold that won't go away, she has absolutely no energy. I'm trying to get her to see a doctor, but she's so hard headed so we'll see.
-
All my kids were home from school today with some sort of stomach flu. I emailed their teachers and my son's teacher said 7 students were out of class today because of it, both teachers had it over the weekend, and four kids were out last week because of it. :(
-
My hubby got the stomach virus but I was lucky. We both got flu shots for protection against most of the varieties of influenza out there.
-
Everyone in my office has been sick or is sick so I am trying to do anything I can so I don't get sick too
-
Haven't gotten it yet, and don't plan on it! I'm washing my hands like crazy and pumping myself with vitamins. In all the years I can remember a flu epidemic, I can't remember actually ever contracting it. Guess I'm just lucky!
-
I don't think I have the flu, but I have had a really terrible cold for almost a week. Seems like everyone is sick right now.
-
No, I haven't gotten the flu. I had a flu shot in early December of last year and always get one as soon as Flu Season starts. My husband has been sick for 2 weeks, and I'm driving myself crazy disinfecting the house almost everyday so my son and I don't get sick!! I've washed my hands so much that my hands are really dry and I have to wear moisturizer gloves on at night! Haha!! ;D
I try to stay in the house and only take my son places he has to go when the flu is going around. We carry hand sanitizer too where ever we go.
:peace: ~workmama~ :wave:
-
I thought I was getting the flu, but luckily I went to the doctor and it was just allergies. I had a flu shot this year for the first time in about 15 years. The stomach flu is not the flu that they are worried about, 24 hours and you are feeling better. The other flu is bad for a week to 10 days, and then you are really wiped out for a couple of more weeks getting your strength back. SUPPOSEDLY if you have gotten the flu shot if you do get it, it will be a very mild case. We are also sanitizing at the house, door knobs, computer keyboards. Washing our hands and carrying around the hand sanitizers to use frequently.
-
OMG I'm so terrified of the flu. And once I found out the flu vaccine isn't 100% effective, I became even more scared!!
-
i had it last week for 3 days, its horrible, hope you dont get it!! :sad1:
-
yes, my wife got the flu two weeks ago and I tried to stay away from her but last week I got it too. High fever and everything not fun. got to get that flu shot early next year :BangHead:
-
I don't have the flue,but man I have had a dry throat and dry cough for over a week now, I have no
flue symptons at all and feel just fine, must be the change of this crazy hot and cold weather, or allergy
related, but im ready for this cough to go away and the cold weather!! BRING ON SPRINGTIME!! :D
-
Luckily I have not gotten it yet! Everyone around me has though!! My whole family got it this year except for me! Knock wood!
-
My two daughters got the begining of it and I flushed them with ginger tea, and fortunately it went away as quickly as it came:-)
-
I did get it and it took an atibiotic to get rid of it. It is some nasty stuff. Hope it clears up soon.
-
Ughh!! Yes everyone and My Mom has it lol It has been going around here for a while and someone is always sicks. So it keeps coming around. ** Coughy coughy**
-
I had the flu three months ago. It lasted three weeks. I was surprised because I never get sick. I was stressed over my job and school so that's what probably did me in :dontknow:
-
I just got over a cold, but luckily haven't gotten the flu. Been trying to make sure I take vitamins and wash my hands regularly so that I don't get sick again.
-
i went to the doctors today and i have it running a fever of 101.5 and ache all over nausea i hope it doesn't last long he says the average is 5 days
I hate it when I get the 24 hour flu. it makes me feel like I got my butt handed over to me by Chuck Norris, and from what I heard about the Norovirus, the flu shot will not protect against it.
wash your hands folks.
-
Get well everyone who is sick!!!
-
Not yet but , I am sure after the super bowl this weekend everyone here will have it. :peace:
-
other poeple at workl got sick a couple weeks ago but i got lucky so far and avoided being sick. I didnt even get a flu shot
-
Thank the Lord that I haven't. I also do not take Flu shots because once I actually did take one and I came down with a cold which made me miserable. Never again.
-
The flu is everywhere. My husband and son both had it. My husband got a flu shot and he still got sick. So far I 've been lucky. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't come with the flu.
-
Oh my... its been 10 days, i got flu!
Havent had a chance to go to doctor, just take ibuprofen and use so many klenex. Glad my 3 boys is fine.
-

One of my friend got that last week too, she was very sick,had a fever, vomiting several times a day.It was too hard for her, she is better now but she still don`t have a good appetite yet. That is scary thing, especially for the kids.

-
UGH....YES! And I was even a good girl and got my flu shot in October!!
-
I had the flu right around Thanksgiving and it was horrible. I had this really bad drive cough and it started with my body aching for 2 days. I think that was the worst one I have ever had because it lasted 2 weeks and my daughter caught it during that time as well. But hers was only about 5 days.
-
I have not had the flu, but have had a cold for several weeks. I can't seem to get rid of it. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to choke trying to get the cold up.
-
I had a mild case of the stomach flu a few weeks ago. Other than, I have had a head cold/sinus infection, but no other flu.
-
not the flu this year but i had broncial ashthma in December...it sucks being sick...
-
I haven't had the flu yet but I'm not feeling well. So far it is just a cold and sore throat. I hope thays all.
Hope everyone stays healthy. Extra sleep when possible can make a huge difference. :wave: :peace:
-
So far I have not gotten the flu yet. :heart:
-
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 had a touch of it i woke up whole body was sore throat was in pain and had a stuffy nose but the next day it was gone
-
Well I have finally beat the nasty old cold that I have been fighting :BangHead: :wave: for the past 4 weeks. Thank goodness :)
I feel so much better now! :thumbsup: :wave:
-
Last week I saw news saying new SARS is coming back ...it is scary
-
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.
-
Thank goodness I did not get the flu but I did have a bad cold I could not get rid of went to the drs. got some antibiotics and some cough syrup with codeine and viola all better but it did take about 3 wks everyone else in the house kick it on their own even my 94 yrs old mom got rid of hers before I could bad immune system I've acquired over the years :BangHead: :)
-
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.
-
luckly ive not gotten the flu this year
-
I had gotten the flu that was going around!!! it lasted for about 5 or 6 days...and the stupidest part about getting it is that I had gotten a flu shot this year :bs:
-
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 took that tamiflu cas my work made us and it made so nauseous. Better than getting thr flu though.
-
my friend has had it bad, and I think I had a 24 hour, was deafly sick saturday, not morning sickness that bad all day and all night.
-
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.
-
NOPE!!! I got my shot over winter break. ;) ;D
-
No, I haven't had the flu yet. I know there are many who have and I hope they soon feel better. I hope I don't get it either because I hate being sick. Having sinus trouble is enough in and of it self and it has been acting up for the past month and I am ready for it to stop.
-
I am sorry you are sick. I hope you get well soon. I haven't had the flu. I had a terrible cold, which lasted for 3 weeks.
-
I havnt gotten the flue in over 4 years (iv been very lucky)
-
i didnt get the flu shot coz i have never got the flu and i aint worried about getting it. i got the whopping couch vaccine coz u never know about that, but i probably didnt need that either. the nurse questioned my decision about not getting the flu shot. who is she to question what i want or dont want? she aint me and she doesnt know my body.
-
Not yet, but some of my co-workers and some family members did catch the flu. I try to be extra careful with my Lysol spray and other stuff. :wave:
-
i went to the doctors today and i have it running a fever of 101.5 and ache all over nausea i hope it doesn't last long he says the average is 5 days
Last time I went to the doctor and didn't know that I have fever 102.2, the nurse made me took some Tylenol and I'm feeling better after that. But my mom she gotten flu and it last her 5 days.
-
I had some sort of stomach thing Tuesday. I threw up so much I ended up very dehydrated and in the hospital for two days as a result. No fun!!!!
-
I got a flu shot in October and in December I came down with the flu. I have giving up on flu shots for the future.
-
Nope. No flu here. I haven't had a flu shot in a very long time (actually, I don't remember ever getting one). I think I've only had the flu once or twice in my life so far. I've had mild colds and strept a few times. No one in my house has had the flu this year or any of the past at least 10 years I think. :thumbsup:
