This flu has to go!

[houston]

My whole family has the flu. This really sucks. It feels like my whole body has extreme arthritis. The weather has been clear for a few days but riding doesn't even sound appealing. Anybody else down for the count?

[sk_tle]

I was down for 5 days late december. The real thing that transform you into a zombie. I only started getting better on christmas morning.

I hope I'm clear of it for a few years and wish you and your family a fast recovery. It sucks not being able to ride.

Hope you all feel better soon. I woke up with a bad head cold and sore throat last night... Hope it doesn't get any worse.

[houston]

I hope it doesn't progress either. You don't want this. My knuckles ache! I feel like a whiny baby.

[billrick]

Curious, did you all get the vaccine? We did, and have escaped it so far, with many associates at work going down.

[houston]

I did not. The rest of my family did.

Update. My flu has turned into strep throat. Now it's a party.

This is some serious shit: Public Health Emergency in Boston

I heard earlier today that police are investigating a 4 year old's death last night as potentially caused by the flu.

If you haven't been vaccinated, please get it asap.

Seems like half of New York City is sick. I mean actually sick, not just the usual psychoses.

Just got home from the doctor ... Diagnosis: Wicked case of Influenza B. I'm dying here, with no end in sight. May the gods of tamiflu work their magic.

I flew back from NYC on new years eve and came down with it within hours of landing at SFO. Bed-ridden sick for a good 5 days and I still have a cough. I was going to get a flu shot, but just never got around to it. Seems to be worse on the east coast so far; no one else around here I know has the flu.

Probably the only time this decade we'll be able to say MO = CA = OR = WA

Got my shot for the first time this year based on reports that it was gonna be gruesome. I've read that the shot this year is particularly effective - researchers "guessed" the strain pretty accurately, apparently.

Getcher flu shot. Herd health and whatnot. Best of luck to those beplagued.

Edit: I've been telling everyone here in my practice (psychology not medicine) to get the shot, especially our receptionist, who comes face-to-face with everyone who walks in the door. She refuses to get one because "I've never had the flu before." Pretty rock-solid logic, huh?

I told her that I've never been infected with HIV before, so I'm going to go out and share some needles with junkies.

She didn't get it.

[SteveP]

flu shot gotten. hope it works.

I got the vaccine. I currently have chills, a fever and a sore throat. However, my Rheumatoid Athritis medication supresses my immune system, so I am probably not a good person to go by.
