Pretty sure i had it in early December. Felt a little funny about 6pm friday woke up at 2:30 am and felt like i had been run over by a truck knees/hips/back were in excruciating pain then the chills and fever followed. I didn't go back to work until Thursday the following week. I felt miserable for 2 weeks and exhausted/fatigued for 3 weeks. My daughter also had it but she recovered much faster

I stopped getting the flu when I stopped getting flu shots. I used to get it BAD. Knocked me down for 10 days at a time. Twice turned into pneumonia.
Knock wood it's been almost 10 years now.
I swear by this stuff. Turned my wife, daughter brother etc on to it an all get the same results. If you catch it early, I take this with a tylenol for the headache and BAM it's gone by morning.
Feeling run down, achy, fever or chills? | Oscillococcinum

Always get flu shot. Christmas Day, dagnabbit, got flu. Knocked me down about 6-7 days, and still feel like I'm not 100%.

Hey, Cat, wha's that stuff? Oscilloimunnum, eh? Got to get some!

I have never in my life got a flu shot and to the best of my knowledge, I've never had the flu. I don't attribute this to being super tuff either - I think its because during flu season I avoid large crowds and crowded places. I live way out on the far edge of nowhere - I guess the flu doesn't get out this far.

That is a pretty high fever. Hope its better. A fever that high for 2+ days could be dangerous.

Finally starting to feel sub human after many days of fever and drug induced mental instability

My word its easy to see how people can die with stuff like this. Now to just regain my strength I had before this will probably take a month

My son in CA just got over it- missed a week of work. I hadn't heard him ever that bad before. He said he just ached and his throat was bad. Coughed all of the time. Was on tamiflu and antibiotics. Had a temp and all of that. Couldn't hold anything down for days. Good luck to anyone who gets this one.

Yeah, I avoid crowds as much as possible and don't get off the place anymore than I have to, and try to run my errands when the crowds are smaller..............Get there early for Wal-mart, Hardware store etc. As the season progresses I'll probably stop shaking hands, even at Church.
