I thought flu season was over? Well, almost, at least.

I somehow made it out without contracting it this year, though my brother got a nasty case a few months ago. XD Sorry you aren't feeling well, though!

I only got sick once this winter and it was a very mild cold-like thingy that only lasted a couple of days. 8D I'm happy.

These last couple of years, I get sick about 3 times during the winter... probably due to lack of sleep. I just got over SOMETHING last week, dunno if it was flu (might have just been midterms).

You are right about the flu season being over. It ended on the last week of Feb, but there are different influenza viruses can circulate as late as May.

I haven't got the flu in years and I get a flu vaccine every year and that helps. You can still get the flu, but in most cases, you get over it faster.

The last time that I did get the flu was 1994 and I did have the flu vaccine and to this day, I think it may have save my life.

I had it for about a week. It was only bad a couple of days, but I get a really bad cough after it's over.

I have a bit of something o.o My voice is doing a weird going out and in thing. I'm trying my best not to talk, but.. I'm finding it a bit hard ^ ^; I haven't had anything major this winter.I tend to get stuff from the change of weather then cold weather.

I know, I'm weird :eh:

Vitamin C -I take it everyday (usually) and dose myself extra every time my throat even thinks about getting scratchy. It's gotten me through about two or three winters without flu. Our winter is coming up in the Southern Hemisphere, so we'll have to wait and see if i can make it for another one.

I actually have yet to get the flu, cold or anything this year... *knock on wood XD*

I think it's because of the change in my diet.... the fact that I've been eating more vegetables and generally eating healthier (of course I have been eating a little bit of red meat lately >_< I need to get back to my diet!!!! DX)

But yeah... Nope, I'm still pretty healthy -^_^-

Praise God no...thank you vitamins and hand washing!

Sure did...I had gotten my flu shot, but apparently the vaccine was for the wrong strain. So I got the flu. No bueno. But it only lasted a week.

Postby **Dante** » Sun Mar 16, 2008 7:37 pm

Yes... why do my spring breaks always get deep fried by school or sickness or both... I hate spring break, I wish someone would ban it.

It's always the wrong strain. Every year...

[font="palatino Linotype"]I had my first bout with the flu this year.

I was misdiagnosed, and had really bad bronchitic asthma.

I still do, and it's been a month. Because of the flu, now I have to carry around an inhaler for a while.

Gee, thanks flu! D:<[/font]

I already had it a couple of weeks ago. One full week. Missed a couple of classes, too.

Mee too. it was neat when my fever broke though. It was like a switch was flipped and my body temperature stopped flashing hot to cold. I had flashbacks to osmosis jones.

I was sick a few weeks ago - I think it was the flu. I hated it.

Postby **Azier the Swordsman** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:59 am

Had it in February. On the second week of starting a new job, no less.

Postby **Chibiringo** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:52 am

yeah, so last night was the worst ever! Me and my cousin were playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and we were freezing cold! Even with the heater directly on us we were still shivering turns out my fever was like 102.5 and my cousins 102.3. So I layed on the floor for awhile with a blanket on top of me then moved to a little chair and sat there. I was totally afraid to move because everytime I moved got this rush of coldness. Soon, my mom checked my tempture again and it was 102.7. So we left and I got home but I was still freezing. BUT! I'm wayyy better today. Thank God.

Eeeek. If your fever gets that high again, take Advil or Tylenol; that'll help break the fever and help with any aches and pains you might be having.

Hope you feel better soon and take your vitamin C often and go to bed early.

i got the flu shot and got it twice XD
one right after the shot (but it was fairly severe O_@)

and one a few days ago, but that was just headache/diahrea/minor fever...
>_>

Advil and tylenol don't seem to help at all. I mean they bring down the fever but nothing else. >.< I feel awful again today...Hot, cold,hot, cold, hot. Â¬_Â¬

omg, i got it a few weeks ago and it was heck. Shivering cold, and soaking in sweat is NOT cool!

Postby **AsianBlossom** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:34 am

Funny, I was feeling fine last night, and I read this topic...I woke up with the sniffles this morning...*eyes this thread suspiciously*

Nah, I'm just kidding, guys. XD It's most likely allergies.

EDIT: Gak, my Sudafed doesn't seem to be working...thank God I've got spare napkins in my backpack (I'm at school right now).

Postby **Chibiringo** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:45 am

I've only been able to eat popsicles. I ate two corn dogs last night, I had trouble with the last one, so I ate half of it...Plus, Pepsi makes my throat feel so good. Ugh! Junk food is helping me. >.<
I tried to dance at home today and yesterday...I looked so stupid! XD my balance is totally off and I can barely dance. NO!!! *runs around in circles*

Theoretically, there is a silver lining to this cloud, right? How many people got the shots and didn't get THAT string. I guess it's better to suppress a minor string correctly than it would be to accidentally not suppress a major one.
