Default The wrath of the flu

My dad came home early from work today sick as a dog, just got back from the doctor...its the flu.

I did'nt get a flu shot this year (or any from the age of 4 onwards), I kept telling my dad to go get one but he would not listen (he's getting on in years..)

Now I am worried the beast will strike me to, I have been avoiding it for 10 long years.

Just drink lots of water (not soda), just plain old water and drink it on a regular basis. Even if you do get it drinking water will help it pass out your system quicker I can get rid of the worst of colds within a day or two just doing this

if you get a bad sore throat or cough, cut up some lemons, put it inside a jug, then fill it with hot water, let it cool down a bit, and drink the water, if its too sour put a bit of honey in

The best cure imo

Well... at least it really was the flu... When I thought I had a really bad flu... it ended up that my appendix ruptured... I almost died from it too. And I was walking around with it ruptured for 3-4 days, which is why I had flu like symptoms. It's a long story...

This happened a few months ago.

I have high pain tolorance

Best wishes for you, Brad.loo. Hope you don't get it. Flu sucks.

And because your dad is getting "on in years" is exactly why he SHOULD get a shot! *lol* But good wishes for him to get well soon.

Dads doing better, but now I have it ;/

Last night I felt bad but was still going to work today, this morning that wen't out the window. My whole body hurts, I think my wisdom teeth hurt the most tho (the pain of them coming in + flu is almost unbareable!). I got a cough and sore throat to, and I am running a tempature.

Crappy crappy, there gose my weekend plans ;/.

I am going to make some of my special green tea and try to relax for a few days. Hopfully that will nock it out or make it better. I tried to send it on thru last night by drinking lots of water but my efforts where for not.

God this flu thing is awful, I think I am going to start getting a shot every year from now on.
