Day 5

[Bidin~Time]

And no change in sight.

These Flu symptoms are getting old and I have too much to do.

Ok i don't really have too much to do, but if I'm not going to work I should be able to do stuff around the house.

You too? This crap started for me last Thursday. I thought I was getting better a couple days ago, but I feel like crap tonight!! My boss had it, it lasted TWO WEEKS!!!!

I am sick of feeling sick ... hope you recover soon.

 

[Bidin~Time]

Here's hoping we're both better soon.


Honestly, I haven't had anything hit me this hard in a very long time

I feel like I have testicles in my throat... okay that made me giggle. What I mean is my glands are as big as golf balls....

That didn't sound much better, I think I will give up now.

Looks down. Golf balls?

I guess it coulda been worse. You coulda said grapefruit.

Try swallowing with two golf balls in your throat!!! Seriously.

I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you.

That made me giggle too....perhaps it is the cough syrup.

 

[Killswitch1]

Hope you both feel better. Flu is the devil.

 

[Noor]

Real influenza is the devil. I just got the flu shot today so hopefully I will not get the flu.

Day 6

Awoke every hour through the night, finally stretched out to a 2 hour interval from 4 to 6.

It appears I am being kept alive via dayquil, nyquil, and whatever one finds in robitussin as i don't remember when I had actual food.

As I sit here pondering another day of misery, I come to the realization that, in addition to this heinous sickness, my givafuck is broken. This can not be a good thing

 

[Aella_]

Flu sucks.
I used to get it almost regularly, at one point, even when I had my flu shots.

 

[Bidin~Time]

It does suck. Majorly. I usually am required to get a flu shot through work, but they haven't started giving them out yet. I wonder if I need one now.

Being a hermit lately, helps me avoid the flu.

You should definitely avoid this one.

 

[Bidin~Time]

Yes, because it could be a different 'flu' strain: that's what Gianbatistta's employers have said in the past.

I'm sure that is what mine would say as well.

 

[Noor]

Have you spoken to your dr yet? Did they give you the antivirus stuff?

Last time I had the flu, I literally couldn't get out of bed for about a week.
I hope you feel better soon

 

[jezzilee]

Have you talked to your Dr about that nasal tamiflu stuff? I think mine is more a head cold heading down into my chest than flu...I did not want to get out of bed this morning but I am are work. It's going to be a long day

 

[Riles]

Ugh, sorry you are feeling so poorly BT.

Rest, rest, rest and fluids. I hope you have someone there to pick up the slack.

Oops! And you also Jezzi.

thank you ladies.

Tamiflu is only effective in the first 72 hrs and I'm past that.

So I'll stick with fluids and such and hope I'm over the worst.
