I haven't heard an official name for this year's flu strain, except it's not covered under the flu shot waranty  >:( It is a bit different, not something you would wish on your worst enemy. I have been laid up for a solid week, and no end in sight. Haven't bothered with doc. think I already know what to expect there. Things that are different include ear ache, splitting head ache, chill but no fever, kidneys gone wild, watery eyes so bad I'm almost blind,and crazy dreams and nightmares. My appetite has come back, that's usually a good sign. Y'all stay healthy

I'm in your camp PW. I have or had everything you described plus achy joints, cough and now a cold. I blame it on our mild start to winter this year.

I felt my symptoms the Saturday morning after Christmas. By that night, I was full blown. I went to bed  at 7:00 p.m. and stayed there until Monday morning.   :-\

Last winter, I had not so much as a cold all season.

It's hitting hard here in SW. VA. I need to go to the Doctor for a routine visit and a refill prescription but who wants to wait in a doctors waiting room filled with several people who have the flu?
Give me a new saw chain and I can find you a rock in a heartbeat.

I did get my flu shot back in november. Apparently that does not help much for prevention, but does make it less severe. Still lasts 8-10 days..I think I picked this up from my daughter over the christmas visit. She works in a doctor's office and brings home all sorts of nasty stuff. Been tempted to invoke my old Dad's remedy, take a bottle of JD with you and go to bed. The JD probably won't cure anything, but you won't care. ;D

Wife went to the doctor today after being down with it for 4 or 5 days, sick, fever and cough.  Quick test and not flu but pneumonia so there are antibiotics to fix it.  Apparently no current known cure for the flu.

Don't attribute irritating behavior to malevolence when mere stupidity will suffice as an explanation.

Me and the wife took care of everything at once. Flu, her double pneumonia, sinus infection and ear infection. Me, Bronchitis on one side, pneumonia on the other, ear and sinus infection. It was a rough 2 weeks in the Conley household. We both went through the steroids and 2 rounds of anti-antibiotics each. We should be in good shape for the rest of the year.
