Where the hell is Jim?
 

Just in case anyone is wondering...I am one of the many that have gotten the early version of the Flu. I am here on the couch trying to relax. If you need to get in touch with me, Greenie knows how...contact him.

It started last night and has really kicked in big time today. Chills, Hot, aches and pains...etc.

Get well soon :)

No good Jim..

Take it easy mate...

Hope you feel better soon, get lots of rest Jim.

Get better soon Jim :)

Hope you feel better soon :)

sorry to hear that, Jim. From what I've seen and heard it takes most people 2 weeks to get over this one.

I just got over this. Took me about two weeks. It is a killer. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and I am going to stop acting like your mother now. Get well soon.

I'm sure you've read this is a very bad strain of the flu. Get plenty of rest, and if your temp hovers over 102 don't hesitate to go to the doctor.

Get well Jim, they say this is a tough year for the flu.

Get better, pal.

I had it 2 or 3 weeks ago & it knocked my on my ass for 2 or 3 days.

I just love that the strand of the flu that's going around is not the one that the flu shot cures - even though the country is pretty much out of the flu shot anyway - LOL

I am fighting it guys...
I am going to try to do some work today. The only part that sucks is I can't visit my mother for a little while. That isn't the only sucky part but that is the worst part.

Too much to do this time of year.

I have it too - going on the 4th day now. I hat 103.2 temp for a day but thankfully I am down around 100 now. You have my sympathy. I can't wait to eat something decent again.

Sorry to hear, Jim. Get well as fast as ya can!

Speaking of the flu... I have only once gotten a flu shot (bootcamp and I was dead ass tired and they snuck it past me) because growing up I was allergic to egg whites and the flu vaccine is cultured in an egg. And it seems that most of the time everyone I know who gets the shot ends up with the flu, while I sail by uninfected (knock on cyberwood).
I've been worndering if the medical industry isn't causing more harm than good with coming up with a new vaccine each year. What I mean is every year they come up with a new one to combat the latest strain, and the next year it mutates again and they have to come up with another vaccine. I wonder if by coming up with new vaccines each year is in fact causing the mutations and increasing it's potency each time the flu mutates?
Don't mind me, I'm just spreading unnecessary fear and paranoia. |escape|

I have it now, primarily thanks to my daughter who came down with it about the same time as you. Now my travels have been postponed a couple days. |sad|
