Do you live in the Northeast? We have the same thing around here. My wife and I had it and many of my co-workers did too. BTW, do you have aching joints as a result of this? My wife and I, several others, have reported sore knees, elbows and backs.

>>reported sore knees, elbows and backs.


Maybe from shoveling too much snow!

Yep. This last flare-up started with 2 days of feeling ok except for a sore back and neck, and I was tired all the time. The 2nd night, I got the sore throat/runny nose again. My lungs got congested, and the next morning, every muscle and joint in my body hurt. I was running low fevers off and on, and at one point had violent stomach cramps, but they only lasted a couple of hours. By the following 2 days, I still felt bad, but had started blowing and hacking up nasty stuff. I'm still not 100 percent, and it's been a week. This is the 4th time this winter it's got me again, and my wife and kids have all had it 3 or 4 times. The flare-ups aren't as bad as the first time, but like I said earlier, it's like it lurks in your system, waiting to kid your legs out from under you again.

Myself and two kids got this. Hubby didn't get too sick, and he had flu shot. But we were all sick for about a week. My back was in such pain and I thought it very odd at the time. It was not your typical flu achiness, it was an uncomforting pain.
