Anybody Have the Flu? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MISST3 · 01-18-2018, 07:33 PM

I have the flu! It started out with a tickle in my throat. Now my throat is burning, I've got fever and chills, I'm cough, cough, coughing, and I ache
all over! I saw the Dr. today. They say the flu is spreading like wildfire
across the nation. Anybody else had or have it?

Sorry to hear that MISST3.

Be sure to rest and take it easy for a while.

I don't have the flu but I don't know how long I can hold out. It's getting really bad judging by the news. It's one of the worst years ever.

I think so, or a bad cold. Mine started out as a scratchy throat, runny nose, headache and slight body aches. Now I have a really sore throat, full blown laryngitis ( I can't speak above a whisper) swollen glands, nose is still running but just a slight headache now and slight body aches still.Also I feel really hot, but that could be my menopausal hot flashes!

Rawr · 01-18-2018, 08:06 PM

I hope you feel better soon, MISST3.

I don't have it at the moment (knocks on wood), but I've also been hearing it is getting pretty bad. Take care and protect yourselves, everyone.

I hadn't had the flu since 2010. Hope you get better.

Feel better, Bonnie.

Have you seen a doctor about your sore throat and laryngitis?

Thanks Rawr!

No, so far home remedy and over the counter medicine ! The laryngitis just started late yesterday!

Hope you stay well. The flu seems to be bad this year!

And Misst3 ! Hope you start feeling better really soon!

So far no, but my wife's been feeling sick the last few days, hopefully just a cold.

Hope everyone gets better soon!

I hope your Wife feels better soon and it does turn out to be a cold and not the flu!

And you take care of yourself too Torgo! You never know!

This is weird cause I hardly ever get this sick, my Husband had a cold all week,

but his just stayed a cold, didn't get as bad as mine is and he's pretty much all well now !

Thanks, Bonnie!

Plus, my oldest sister has just gotten over being sick, and her was the flu. I get colds here and there, but they never last long, but it's been years since I've had the flu.

Feel better!

I've been very fortunate in never having the flu nor a flu shot.

How old were you then, 83?

I'm just getting over it. A co-worker came to work and had the flu and gave it to 5 of us. This flu last about 3 weeks. I hope you all that have it, get to feeling better soon. I haven't had the flu in years.

mets82 · 01-19-2018, 01:57 PM

I hope everybody who has The Flu feels better.

Penny Lane · 01-19-2018, 04:13 PM

So far I haven't had the flu but my sister who is a nurse said that her floor in the hospital was filled with flu cases. The nurses all wear masks when they treat their patients.
