I got slammed with this flu/cold like virus as of last Sunday. First symtom was a slight cough. Within 24 hours every joint in my body felt like I had been hit by a bus. My upper chest felt like it was filling up with liquid. (luckily it hasn't rooted in my lungs) My body temperature went from freezing to burning up. I am over it for the most part but am still coughing alot. My doc gave me some Motrin for the body aches and a codeine based cough syrup for the cough. Lots of fluids and lots of rest. Time to catch up on movies.
