Anyone Else Catch This Lovely Bug Going Around?

I prescribe a borderline overdose of NyQuil. If you would have done that AND watched the Twilight Zone marathon on New Years, you'd be fine now.

NyQuil + back to back episodes of any old TV show (90's as the most recent) will cure most anything, I'm pretty sure. You know it's working when you have dreams that you are actually in the TV show, and you're not even asleep. I used to have a link to support this, but I can't seem to find it.

I recommend Alf. And you got Netflix, Leslie Nielsen comedies.

I dreamed Joe Pesci and I threw a guy into an incinerator and watched him burn. Then we drove home with a couple of other guys eating chicken salad sandwiches and singin REO Speedwagon's "Time for me to fly."

Anybody else partaking in this lovely experience?

Thanks for sharing it with all of us now I'm feeling it.

I could not taste or smell anything for several days.

It's the flu.

My wife has it, the same symptoms you describe. My son and I gave in to teh devil vaccine, and we're high-n-dry. Modern medicine FTW.

Actually, my fever is up to 102 right now. I did a WebMd cold vs flu search and it said it's probably the flu (not swine flu (no 'rhea or vomiting)), but a big concern with the flu is pneumonia, and a sign that you might have pneumonia is a fever that goes away and returns, which is exactly what's been happening. I'm severe asthmatic and pneumonia has caused me to spend many weeks in the hospital as a kid, and at least once brought me close to the point of taking me out.

So it's off to the shower then over to the after hours clinic.

Wish me luck!

I had the same crap about 4 weeks ago and it seemed like it took for ever to get rid of it

H2N1 it is, Flu B.

They prescribed Tamiflu (which at this point would only shave a day off my symtoms) and some cough syrup with hydrocondone in it, neither of which I'll pick up. Pneumonia is a negative, that was my biggest concern.

I'm sitting in St Johns BA right now because I thought I was being smart thinking if everyone I knew got a flue shot I didn't have to. Been down since last Tuesday, finally Wife gave me the ultimatum go to the emergency room or she would have two of our friends carry me out to the van.

Not fun at all, you can bet your bippi I'll be getting one next fall.
