If you are not a fellow hypochondriac then it is probably just a summer "bug". See what I did there?
I hope you are over the worst and feel better soon.

Have you seen a doctor?
Hang in there!!
Kali
(55,019 posts)it really isn't flu season is it? but yeah didn't get one last fall/winter (lazy and fairly healthy)
I was too sick to get dressed and drive to town so I didn't go. Ate a lot of aspirin and drank a ton of ice water.

(22,899 posts)but I've been hit before in the summer and it's godawful
I'm still on the fence re flu shots, but I trust my doctor and she recommends them.
So far (knock wood) I haven't had flu, but it's impossible to know if I would have had I not gotten a shot.
Take care, Kali
