Join the crowd. Doc said after the first week ( which I regard as a near death experience ) I could expect it to slowly go away over the next two weeks. Seems to be about a three week tour of things you did not want to do. Sweet ............... Not.

Yeah, this time around was the real deal for sure, explosive shats and the bucket to puke in at the same time! On the half-hour for 3 hours, then once an hour for the next three. Slept most of the following day. Still can't eat more than a couple of bites without feelinf full. Helluva weight loss program.
Didn't get the shot this year, probably will next year.....this bug was probably one of the 34% that were not covered.

The last time I got the flu was when I got the flu shot, Made me sicker than a dog. I havent had a flu shot in 7-8 years and havent gotten the flu. F*&^K that noise..plus I've read that by the time Flu shots are available for mass consumption the current strains have morphed typically 3 times and the shot is usually ineffective against the current strain. In addtion, the vaccines are packed with adjuvants that are not good for your body and can pose a lot of other health risks.
Just stay clean, eat well, and avoid sick people. If you get it, C'est la vie.

I see how that could be read either way... I think getting a flu shot would be prudent. The symptoms described sound fierce and if they are avoidable sign me up!

Skyley,
The flu shot doesn't give you the flu. It's not a live virus.
The flu shot protects you against the current flu strain much better than no flu shot does.
Vaccines have never been proven to cause anything other than Jenny McCarthy's hysteria.

I disagree Dan. Just because you get the flu shot doesn't mean you can't get the Flu. It can only serve to make the symptoms less severe.
To each their own, I'm not now will I ever get that shot. I rarely ever get sick too.

I didn't say that. I said the shot won't GIVE you the flu.
I'll take less severe symptoms any time.

For what it's worth...I've never had a flu shot, and I don't get the flu...if I get it bad then maybe I'll revisit my decision in the future.
Fish on...

It settles nothing. All it means is I'm somehow miraculously resistant to the flu. I'm not discouraging people from getting a shot by any means.
Hope that helps. Must be the copious amounts of nicotine inhaled daily?

I'm that way all the time lately. And I have always been a hand washer. Had my first flu shot in a long time. No pain and I felt the same as whem I left. I know people here who have been sick for over two weeks and they are going to work and sticking it out. Fuk that. Seems like a never ending sickness and I'm glad I didn't catch it!! Hope you feel better sooner than a couple weeks!
