Raise your hand if you have had the flu this year

Good gravy!!

Everyone in my family now has had the flu.............

Started about 10 days ago and worked its way through everyone in our family........

Nasty.......... you get a temp, you feel like your brain is rattling around in your skull, tired all the time, don't feel like eating and the worst part is that it lasts for 4-5 days!

This has to be the worst season by far around here.........

I barely know anyone who has NOT gotten the flu......

Has it run through your house yet?

I got a nasty cold about 3 weeks ago, came on thursday evening, i guess friday I was kinda funny to watch at work.... nodding off and more confused than i normally am. Saturday I slept most of the day, sunday I was feeling better but still slept a lot. Monday I wasn't quite 100%, still had a nasty cough and head-cold but the brunt of it had passed.

Totally sucks, it's no fun at all.

boss man and his whole family had something nasty. That man could be half dead and he would still be at the shop. But not this time. He stayed home in bed for two days.

I haven't caught nuthin yet. knock on wood.

Yeah I got a real bad cold about 3 weeks ago. I drank lots of water, cough syrup, and airborne. The key is to drink lots and lots of water, and get good rest.

Same deal here... Mine lasted a little over a week.

I usually get sick for a day or two, but this year was worse than ever. Saturday and Sunday were the worst days, I put on about 300 miles so I guess that didn't help. lol

Damn, if there are any germs in your body they are too f'd up to do anything anyway.

How about..who has had a flu shot, and still got the flu this year..
I'd fit into that one!..

Bad Daddy · Mar 4, 2008

Be Careful, it might not be the flu.

I thought I had the flu, after a 5 day boat show. 3 days, 11 hrs, 1 8 hr, and then a 5 hr... All the handshaking, etc...

Went home with Flu like symptoms, thought it was the worst Flu I had EVER had. Nope. Pnuemonia!!!

If it is flu like, and doesnt go away after 2 or 3 days, go see the Dr. I have heard of more people with Pneumonia this year than I can ever remember.

Good to Go · Mar 5, 2008

Dame near the whole month of February was screwed up with the bugs. Nasty stuff.

dingo2 · Mar 5, 2008

No flu here but 3/4 of the guys at work were out for a week or more.Nothing like vitamins and garlic to keep the bugs away!

Cujo · Mar 5, 2008

I finally crawled out of bed after being there for four miserable days. Frickin sucked.

AkHockey10 · Mar 5, 2008

Nope!

I second that. My boss had it, thought it was the flu and kept working. She overworked herself and the pneumonia took her life!!! She was young, healthy, worked out lots and ate right too.

Please be careful.

Back on topic, I've managed to escape it (had the flu shot) so far, knock on wood.

montanasledder · Mar 5, 2008

Been lucky tell today, Starting to get sick badly and had to leave work. Darn

H2SNOW · Mar 7, 2008

got the flu right now ....and alls I gots to say is .....for those of you that have the flu , wake up with the sweats and chills and aches .....and call into work sick .....SHAME ON YOU

I was on the road and for the last three days was just trying to get home ......with all of those symptoms ....did I call into work and say I was sick ??? ....nope ...just cowboyed up and drove 1000 miles to get into my bed ....

MN_Nole · Mar 7, 2008

Nope not gotten it yet, every one at work got it from there kids though. All I can figure is they had to much blood in their alcohol system.

Now I just cursed myself, now gonna have to step up the drinking to Switchback's level. Like that is ever possible..

regardless of the lawsuit, once I see a sick member at work I pop those Airbornes, like there is no tomorrow, costly but no major cold or flu, yet..
