Flu anyone?

OMG I feel like crud. Is there a flu going around by chance? I'm achy, weak, hotflashes/chills, and have a 102 fever. I started feeling bad Saturday night and it has been kind of on and off depending on where in the cycle of Ibuprofen I am. :(

Wow! I guess you can get the flu no matter what time of year it is. Drink plenty of water and get lots of rest.

I hope you feel better soon.

Influenza B...Had it in March (over my birthday ~ Ugh)..Hope you're feeling better very soon! Have they given you anything for it? They gave me Tamiflu, and while I still felt like crud for a week, the high fever and painful throat stuff went away within 12 hrs..

jules. i'm sorry you're sick. yuk.
please call your dr. with a fever that high in spite of meds to lower it i think you need to call him.

and, you can try a cool shower. and/or some cold clothes in your groin and around your neck. don't freeze yourself, just cool. that should help bring the fever down. NO NOT EVER PUT ALCOHOL IN THE WATER AND ON YOUR SKIN. YOU CAN GET POISONED. JUST PLAIN WATER.

hope you feel better.

Thanks Gals,
I'm feeling a bit better this morning, down to 100 and not nearly as weak or achy. If it doesn't continue to improve I will give the Doc a ring but it looks like I'm on the mend.

Hope everyone is good today and Sandy tell Jim I hope he starts feeling better soon. Jules

my future son in law came down with it over the fourth...just like you described. Took about a week to feel better.
Always felt better in the morning, then as the day wore on, fever went up, aches increased. So don't be fooled...take it easy!
