I guess I have it. My neck and shoulders started feeling sore last night.....I thought I had over did it a little at the mill yesterday.
This morning, all my joints feel sore and my temp is 100°. I'm feeling awful. I'm freezing and under the blankets.
No....I don't take the flu shot. My Uncle had a bad experience with the shot.....left arm was paralyzed for the rest of his life.
I'll ride this out......Thanks for listening. smiley_sick
Not good. I have never had those shots either. Been lucky so far. Maybe you need to take off a few days and head southwest to the sawing event in Rusk, Tx. That might loosen up those joints and relieve the fever. And on the way back you could pick up that old Juniper and take it with you. bg

Lay low there big guy. You have somthing going on. That's a bummer about your Uncle. I started to have the shot a few years back. My Doctor just about insists upon it because of my lung problem. If you can drink fuilds that will help. Well that's what this Doctor says. :D ::) I will bill you. :D
Hope you feel better soon. :)
Thanks Ray, I appreciate it Buddy......and Bill....I'd LOVE to have that twisted log. It would go good with my twisted mind to build a beautiful table or bench. Thanks Guys!
I don't do the flu shot either. Get well soon and drink plenty of WARM fluids. How did your golf game go this year?

Just in case you need a second opinion, you is ugly too. :D
Feeling the love!
Laughter is good for the soul!
Get better quickly!
Sorry to hear about you feeling sick. My doctor sends me a letter each fall that actually says, "Getting the flu could kill you. You must get vaccinated." I go to the local pharmacy and it takes ten minutes. The pharmacy notifies your doctor.

I felt like that a couple years back, and it was enough to convince me to get the flu shot.
Didn't help the "ugly" tho. ;)
But at least hope ya feels better soon. Don't want to have to use up any of that accumulated sick leave. ;D
2012 was my first Flu shot. I didn't get one this year but should have. We can all be carriers and spreading the flu even though you aren't sick or showing symptoms.
Well I know one thing,if I get the flu I'm not telling you guys. I don't want no one to call me ugly. :D
Thanks to all you guys for chiming in to make me smile.
My fever is still there, 100° and my joints are sooooo sore.
I have been catching up on my reading, and I have just realized something........
These magazines will make up anything just to sell them. :D :D :D :D :D

Take care of yourself and get well soon. My daughter had it last week, 4 days in bed and lots of medicine. Appears to be a tough strain this year. I get my flu shot each year at the VA clinic. They have worked for me so far, no flu for many years.
You both make me laugh. ;D
Get my flu shot at the V A works for me hot brandy and honey works for a cold to

You needed something soothing. ;D
Hey ah POSTON,I think you might just as well lay there and pretend you are dead for a few days. Than when you have yours wits about you in a few days you can jump up fighting. Right now,I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are doing the best. ::) ;D
Have no fear I sent for the doctor.

Poston looks like he is reading a horror story instead of an honor story. :o ;D
This last winter, I was sick for over two months. Did not take the flu shot. I took it this year. Not worth being sick like that.
Maybe it is because Clemson lost, and it is not really the flu :).

He looks that way 'cuz he is sick. ::)
I think I messed up because of my high fever. I PM'd Doctor B to call me a SUBscription in.......
DanG, I meant to say PREscription.......now I'm stuck with the magazine and hoping I'll feel better. smiley_sick
Sorry man, hate to hear it, maybe some back issues will get you through, and a lil less poplar dust, I knew that stuff was bad, david

You may be right..... that was enough to make anybody sick! There are rumors, Clemson may play Alabama in the bowl. I'm digging a hole smiley_sick smiley_sick smiley_sick smiley_sick smiley_sick
This morning I woke up at 4:30am wet in sweat. The fever is gone.....I feel a whole lot better but still a little sore all over. I agreed with the wife....I will stay in the bed 1 more day. ::)
Just as soon as her car's tail lights go over the hill......I'm going to the mill. ;D
Do I need to review your picture again ??? :D

I think I may be the first person to go to the wood shed for the way I look. :D :D :D :D
Magic..........Thanks for all your help! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :snowball:
I have gotten my Flu shot every Fall since the early 70's when they became mandatory in the Military!
I finally got my flu shot Thursday. Anything that looks like Poston will put the fear in you. :o
If we don't work due to weather on Monday, I'm going to get mine at CVS.
For some reason, mine was sore. I think that she stuck a needle or something in my arm. :o
How are you doing, Poston? Hope you're feeling better.
I get the flu shot every year now, after having the Swine Flu a few years ago. Very high fever and sick as a dog.

I'm 100% now. The slow thing is, after the fever is gone, it just takes so dog gone long to get your strength back. About 4-5 days.
Yup. Glad you're back on your feet!
