Is this the flu that was so bad in California last yr? Does it hit you in the lungs?

Last yr there were two types of flu, just the regular ole' flu then another which hits the lungs.

I don't know if it's the one that hit CA last year, but it was bad. Worst flu I've ever had. Couldn't sleep because of the constant hurling and diarrhea. All I could keep down was Pedialyte and Popcycles. 40 flipping hours of it.

Got it Sunday night around 9:00 p.m., was ready to get an ambulance at 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. You can't lie down because you're so dizzy. It also felt like bugs were crawling all over me. Ewwwwwwww.

Should have gotten the flu shot.

Several of you folks seem confused about the flu. Influenza is 'the flu' and it affects your lungs and bronchial area, you do not vomit and poop. You have fever, chills, headache and muscle aches. The lower intestinal virus also can cause fever, and muscle aches along with the vomiting and diarrhea but the one that affects the lungs is 'the flu".
