SO much better. ... I finally went on antibiotics last week.

Same here. My flu from hell turned into pneumonia. I finally broke down and went to the doc too. Something I almost never do.

Three weeks from start to finish. Kicked my ass. Yesterday was the first day I felt completely normal.

Luckily I am a teacher and only missed a few days before and after the winter break.

(Sorry to barge in on the thread and whine about my medical maladies. I'm just so happy it's over.)

not at all, not at all. That was the flu from H. E. double hockey sticks. I think I had the upper-respiratory version of pneumonia. So glad you're on the mend!

I know how you feel, had the flu shot in early November. Got the strange "strain" of flu in Dec. was very sick, it went to my lungs and I headed for the doctor for the "Z" pack. It worked and I was only out of school for 2 days.
