Just Had The Worst Flu Ever!
 

Thank God it seems to have passed. Saturday night I was feeling crappy - bad headache, body aches - the kind that feel like if you don't stop moving you'll go nuts and then the fever. I have no clue how high it got but my Wife and kids kept checking on me and would say "geeze your still really hot - like you one fire!"

I drenched my sheets a few times with sweat, drank about 2 gallons of water, 2 liters of ginger ale and popped Aleve like they were candy. No other pills would stop the headache.

This went on for about 48 hours. Of that 48 hours I must have slept 43 of them. No stomach issues and no lung issues just nerve stuff.

If this went on for another day I was gonna check myself in and pray it wasn't Meningitis! I knew it wasn't cuz I wasnt gut sick or confused but ya never know!

sorry to hear that -- could have been food poisoning...

No upper or lower GI issues though.

Brain tumor?

been near ANY RAW BEEF LATELY?

:eek:

Sounds like Malaria. Seriously. I had attacks like that when I lived in India.

Had the same in Africa except with teeth-chattering chills. And of course no blankets there to try and warm up under.

if you don't get dehydrated and jack up your electrolytes you bounce back quicker

try drinking Gatorade instead of water, or chicken broth

maybe Brawndo

Man I hate being sick more than about anything, thank goodness it so rarely happens to me.

I was couch bound for 4 days last week.
Fever, some cold like symptoms. Worst was the fricken headache.
No upset stomach problems.
First bad one in some time. With a 3 year old in daycare (the virus sharing centre) I feel like we are always battling one bug or another.

Mike,
I'm glad you're on the mend! I just went through about three weeks of gout and I'm just getting my life back again. The flu can be pretty bad!
