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

Below are the common symptoms for the flu, copied and pasted from the Centers for Disease Control website. Note the last symptom:

Symptoms of flu include:

fever (usually high); headache; extreme tiredness; dry cough; sore throat; runny or stuffy nose; muscle aches; stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, also can occur but are more common in children than adults

THAT's the flu.Most of what is considered "flu" these days is bronchitus,sinusitus,URI,allergies.Most everyone can rid themselves of this "flu" by going to an ear/nose/throat specialist.I remember the FLU.Had it when I was around 9 years old.Fever(104),headache so bad you can't stand any light,dizziness to the point that you can't get up without puking,can't eat or drink ANYTHING without puking(crushed ice will stay down sometimes),muscle and joint aches,sore throat,(don't remember a cough),and a stuffy nose.I remember my sister telling my mom I looked dead laying in the bed like I was.I was just waking up when I heard her.Arms crossed and pale.
