Having the flu sucks.

Has anyone else out there had this nasty strain and if so....when does it eeeeeeeeend!?!?

Oh no....sorry Donna.  After 3 weeks you should be close to over it.

Haven't had it yet but one of my employees has been sick for several days....went to the doctor yesterday and was told he has Asian flu....WTF  We'll probably all catch it..... >:(

Hope you all are better soon.....

Much love...
Jackie

I was a kid the last time I had the flu.  I've never heard of a flu lasting weeks...how awful.

Feel better soon...

I had it (or its cousin) last year, thank you.  First time I've had the 'flu in twenty years or so.  

Didn't like it.

Hope you get to feeling better soon, Donna.

Best wishes,

George

What Jackie said.

Hubby and the girls had it.  The worst was the cough that seemed to linger forever.  

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Flu is a seriously under estimated illness. It's dangerous and it takes a hell of a long time to recover from properly. Rest up Donna, that's an order!

Donna, I think you sent me your virus in your last e-mail.  :-/  I'm headed to the doctor as soon as he opens his doors.  

I hope you all get to feeling better soon.  Flu is no fun when it's just one of you.  It really sucks when there are several and you have to be the one who takes care of everyone else and yourself, too.

Hugz,

Mike

We all have it here.  This damn thing take 2-3 weeks to clear out.  

I've been working from home all week and I'm still running a fever. I slept on the couch because I can't breath when I lay down.

My Son Casey had to cancel a trip to see a friend in SC.

The first ones to get it three weeks ago are still sniffling but seem to be mending finally.  This include my wife Andrea.  Casey and I were the last hold outs  ;)

You are in good company Donna.  I hope you heal quickly.

Just back from the doc.  I don't have the flu, I have pneumonia.  It's just wucking fonderful, let me tell you.  I guess crawling around under a trailer fixing a broken water pipe when it's freezing rain and snowing outside wasn't the best of ideas, eh?  

Get well quick wishes to all who are ill.


Mike

Donna,

lots of "get well soon" vibes your way!  [smiley=hug.gif]

The flu I had during Christmas time lasted about 3 weeks. For some reason, mine usually do. I probably don't rest as much as I should, so don't do that mistake!

Warm chicken soup with garlic, lots of fresh orange juice/vitamin c in other forms, lots of rest... those are my tips. I hear that hot water with some lemon juice and honey does wonders as well and a friend of mine always carries chopped garlic with her - she keeps the garlic pieces inside a small piece of fabric. Accoding to her, doing that shortens the length of any flu.

Healing wishes,
Sanna

I'm averaging about 3 to 4 kids absent in my classes, more in the younger grades. I teach in elementary school.  Several of the teachers are out. They seem to stay home to deal with their own little ones then get hit themselves. I feel like a walking sponge, waiting for it to come but wash my hands so much that they feel like sandpaper. Our music teacher just went to the doctor yesterday and has pnemonia as well as the flu. Doctors orders were lots of rest and fluids (and a ton of meds) to make it go away. Get well soon, whenever that may be!

This ravaged everyone in the house about 2 weeks ago.  You all have my sympathy and get well wishes and prayers!

Wishing you well,

We are good here, so far! My mom has a bad bug that is going on now for about it's 3rd week.
She lives close to us so we are keeping a close eye on her.

Hope any of you that have this virus recover quickly. Seems like a bad year for the flu.

Mike, prayers that you kick this pneumonia quickly.
