Is it possible to get the flu twice in 2 months?

[AlCzervik]

OK, i ask because over Christmas me and rsmarter Jr. had the flu or what i thought was the flu, i just picked her up from school, she has a 102 temp and body aches.

1. Better call a doctor

[AlCzervik]

2. i just got off the phone with them.....

"It's going around, call if her temp reaches 106" they said it could be a differnt strain of the flu or last time we didn't have the flu and now she does....oh so helpful they are-not.

8. 106???

[AlCzervik]

9. yup, 106 for a kid and 108 for an adult

i hate Kaiser.

[redsoxliberal]

12. That sounds like a joke... at 108 you'll be dead

no joke.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Wow. 106 and I was in the I.C.U. last month. They must be crazy

busy. I hope you all feel better soon. :hug:

3. I went through the exact same thing.

So yeah, it can happen. Hope you both feel better!

[AlCzervik]

6. i'm glad to hear that, well not that you were sick i mean

I was starting to worry about her immune system.

4. I hope she is feeling better soon, and I hope you don't get it again.

How old is she? Poor little thing - doesn't it kill you when they're sick like that?

:hi: chimpsrsmarter!

[AlCzervik]

7. she's 10 and we've been really lucky in terms of her health

she hasn't had an antibiotic since she was 5 so i guess i've grown used to her not getting a lot of colds and such. She's up in my bed, she took a tylenol and she's watching rocko's modern life. Thanks Bunny.

[Bunny]

10. Well, if Rocko's Modern Life doesn't cure her, I don't know what will!

That was a great show, wasn't it? Are you a fan of Reno 911? If so, did you know that the guy who plays Deputy Garcia is also the voice of Rocko? I think that's interesting.

[AlCzervik]

14. i love Reno, i didn't know that...neato!

I love Heifer and Philbert....im nauseous, i'm nauseous, i'm nauseous

5. Yes, there is no one strain present in the system

Unfortunately after you recover from one your system can be weakened and make you a happy target for the next bug in town.

13. yes

different strains, therefore no immunity to the new strain. I got a flu shot in November and am just getting over the flu (apparently the strain I got was not covered in the shot).
