Who the heck gets the flu this late in the season........and when no one else around seems to have it?
DH got it about 9 days ago. It was slow to grow. I thought I had dodged the bullet, but 4 days later, I got it and it was slow to grow. DH spent almost an entire week in bed. Only had a temp one day. Had a bad cough.
I, on the other hand, got a high fever with horrible pains everywhere and a bad cough. DH went to work today, but is coming home early, because he can't miss tomorrow. We've listened to each other's lungs, and they are clear, except for some upper airway stuff, so it's not pneumonia. I'm 5 days into it and still feel really lousy with chills and then sweats. The temp got as high as 102. I can only take tylenol. The past couple of days it's just been 100, but today it's 99.2.....so maybe I'm on the mend.
I have a neuro appointment a week from Wednesday that I've waited 2 months for, so I better not blow it.
It's just so weird to have this so late in the season and not hear anything about anyone else having it.
Anyone sick around you?
Maybe we should consider the annual flu vaccine..........but I quit having them when one seemed to start my fibromyalgia, and I got the flu, pneumonia, ear infections, etc. So I've been a little vaccine-shy.
