I feel like crap!
My whole body aches, my throat hurts, my nose is stuffy, my chest is congested and I can't stop coughing.
I want to go home & go to bed. Won't be home for another hour.

2. Have you had your flu shot?
Go home early. Go! And have some soup and orange juice.

5. No flu shot.
I have never had one. I take pretty good care of myself so I don't get sick very often, but when I do it's bad & I am a huge baby.
My husband will need to give me alot of TLC tonight.

3. I'm so sorry!
:hug:

Be sure to take care of yourself. Vitamin C, Advil, water or juice. All the good stuff. Take the Advil religiously for a few days. Check with your doctor. :D

4. Sounds like you may have the flu that struck our household
It took us a week before we started getting better. I'm now on day 8 and I still feel like crap.

8. Take zinc lozenges
I swear by zinc lozenges when trying to fight viruses. Go pick up a package at the nearby pharmacy on your way home from work. They keep the virus from replicating in your system. Take 'em every 4 hours for 2 days. I prefer the Cold-Eeze brand. Warning: they make regular food taste funny. And stay away from Vitamin C during this time as the zinc and Vitamin C apparently cancel each other out chemically somehow (that's what my sister the nurse practioner told me).
