    Flu season :(

    I'm catching the flu already, damn that sucks


    I can barely lift my head and I have the taste of "Blah" in my mouth constantly. Oh this is so awesome!

          I have been sick since Thursday. I started getting worse so yesterday morning I went to the Doctor. It is a good thing I went too. It was close to becoming pneumonia.

            You older folks need to watch out for that.

            Get well soon.

                  Im finally got over it. Took me 3 weeks.
                  if you got to the doc. demand a strong anti biotic. The symptoms start like a sinus infection but get worse fast.

                      THE SAME HERE! took me 3 weeks to get rid of it. I was feeling miserable... Only antibiotic could help.

                      My company also gives free shots, but sometimes I get the flu right away after the shot, so I am unsure if I should do it again.

                      I hope you feel better soon, and go to the doctor if you have fever!

                        From a medical standpoint im going to disagree with getting an antibiotic. They will NOT work on the flu virus. Antibiotics only work on bacteria.

                        Now if you have a Secondary infection like a sinus infection, they will work on that but the only way to get rid of the Flu itself is Time.

                          The problem is this seems to be some wierd thing thats not considered the "flu". My family had it, my best friends family had it, my cousin had it. A few of them landed in the emergency room because they underestimated it and it got worse. bronchitis and ammonia (spelling) where involved with pretty much every case.

                          Its starts off mild and you think it could just be a sinus infection. Docs love this stuff as they give you the line of crap like "if it gets worse come back". Then you get stuck paying for 2 visits + meds.

                          I love my doc. i just call him and say look im sick i need this and the write the prescription But out of the people i knew who had this mess i had it contained since i was taking anti botics from the start. But im lucky i can actually get refills on a-b`s

                          Funny when i went to drop off my prescription, there was a guy talking to the pharmacist that said his wife was sick with the same exact symptoms and it was getting worse. They said "sinus infection" and told him some 30 dollar over the counter mucus break up stuff would fix it.

                          while ab`s wont fight the flu it can fight off the other stuff that can make you really sick.

                            Anyway, Ive only ever had a small cold from time to time... lucky me! Sucks to have the flu though... at least from a 3rd person standpoint.

                            Oh, and Premonition, if you can convince your doc to prescibe some Vicadin... that might help with the flu too.

                              vicidin is like tylon to me.... its rather useless but he would give me that if i asked for it. When i get pain medicine i get perpacet (oxycodone). But i have more severe pains than the average person. Not to mention i took it for so long its effects is min. to me.

                              Btw it does help with flu symptoms as its drys you up which prevents the drainage that goes into the lungs and turns into broncitis.
