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.
My mother-in-law gave me a bottle of "Airborne" tablets (like Alka Seltzer) supposed to help against the onset of colds, flue, etc. I've taken a couple when I've felt like I might be on the edge of something and it seemed to help...(can be purchased at Wal-Mart)
Yep, that's been me for the past two days. I get the flu nearly every year.
