It's here. I have it. You do not want it.
I've been getting flu shots every year since 2005. Hadn't caught the flu since... until this year. Had it in January and again starting Saturday. Had solid food today for the first time since Saturday. This time it came with the worst sore throat I've ever had. I still can't talk or swallow without pain. I got severely dehydrated by yesterday morning and had to force myself to down water and electrolytes no matter how much it hurt - otherwise my wife was going to force me in to get IV fluids and I knew she was right. I hate needles.
Get vaccinated - most of those that die from the flu are disproportionately the ones not vaccinated. It may not keep you from getting sick but it may save your life.
