Holy hell. Read my previous. I feel that I was just on my way to where your poor sister is now. I thank G-d for the doctor that put me on the levaquin. I was going seriously downhill. I am so sorry your sister did get that ill. I will pray for her.
This flu is NO [insert expletive of choice here] JOKE.
Like you, I only (I shouldn’t say only, it sucked) had the less serious bout of it. Fevers for days, I know what you mean about hurting all over. The coughing. I had a sore throat for WEEKS. Thought it would never go away.
I got the seasonal flu shot, it was all that was available at the time.
Glad you are starting to feel better. :)
