We got hit with it or something that got us all sick right before Christmas. I got a flu shot in October but whatever bug this was got thru. I had congestion and a cough that kept up for a while and a slight fever. The cough lingered for a couple weeks on me. It has been a few years since I got sick like that. It really zapped me in getting a good workout in. It's not much fun getting sick.

I am around thousands of people daily...I get stuff all the time. Having a good immune system helps and the flu shot helps me a lot. I usually get sick 3-5 times a year and may take one day off. The bugs are nasty and are only getting worse.

my mother in law cannot get the flu shot. She contracted H1N1 and thus got pneumonia 3 times in two months! It is a bastard of a virus, that is for sure.

i think this is a GREAT point. i have been given the gift of sleep. i can knock out 8+ hours of sleep a night no problem. every night. i leave my home to commute to work at 5:15 am..i go to bed early...i occasionally sneak off to bed at 8:30 pm. out cold.

since improving my sleep habits..i havent really gotten sick anymore. crazy. and if i do. i bounce back quick.

When you lay in bed/on the couch/wherever it is you recuperate best, visualize tiny little Theodore Roosevelts riding through you body and running down the germs. Just pretend you are San Juan Hill and let him do his thing.

The Flu made me its bitch this year! I was out of town working when it hit and man did it ever. Went to ER with a 104.2* temp. Broke it before I left hospital. Made it back to my hotel by 2am and was up for work at 5...Sat in my truck all day but atleast I showed up. They gave me Tamiflu and it seemed to help alot

Just getting over it. Real bad for about four days and now it's lingering for a week after.

Man this cold/flu is holding on. 3 weeks of still not feeling 100 %. Tried to rest and relax, then I tried to just pretend I was fine to fool myself. I've been out hunting, playing with my kids, trying to work out for the push up challenge (think I'm doing more harm than good though). I'm actually getting used to waking up and coughing as if I was a smoker. Sorry, just had to vent a bit, it actually made me feel a bit better.
