Have you had the flu lately???!


Question: How long did you have it? I've been stuck in my house for 5 days now. I'm too exasted and sick to do anything!!!! I have had fevers and all the other flu symtoms and I can't eat. Now I feel like throwing up all the time.

It went through my school about a month ago. Our school only has about 400 kids, and for about a week 100+ kids were gone each day. Did you get vaccinated? Even if you did, there was something on the news about this flu strain being one that isn't covered by the vaccine. All you can do is ride it out. I drank TONS of water and slept it off (the sleep really really helps). Mine ended up lasting about a week when all was said and done. If you're still sick in another week, then I'd go see a doc. But be prepared: they may tell you they can't do anything. If they were to give you medicine, it would just make your symptoms go away, not the actual virus. AND, if you catch something else later and you need to take that medicine to actually cure it, you may not be able to because sometimes you can develop immunity to prescription drugs taken just for symptoms. Hope this helps. Get better! =]

no

yes...2 days
might hav been one if i had stayed home the first :P
had to go to skool for 2 exams :(

I am on my 4th week. I have had oxygen, steroids, antibiotics and I am still sick. I have as friend who is on his 8th week. It clings and stays.

Boy, you sure sound like you should have had a flu shot. (thanks to it, I have not been sick the whole winter)

Drink lots of liquids and maybe even some pepto-bismol now that you feel nauseous. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

yeah i had that
2 weeks
the first week was the worst
you might have to go to the ER if you dont drink anything
it happened to me
the 2nd week you can do stuff and its mostly just a bad cough that youll have

Mine lasted 2 weeks. Drink lots of fluids and get lots of vitamins in your body. Emergen-c helped me a lot as well as drinking juices like Orange juice and Apple juice. I made the mistake of taking Mucinex. It helped a lot but I couldn't sleep for 2 days until it wore off. It was horrible. get lots of rest, your body will be aching a lot. I know exactly how you feel! I'm also a stubborn one and don't go to the doctor unless I'm dying. If you go to the doctor then they'll give you some antibiotics that's suppose to help speed up the recovery process.
