I went all winter without getting sick. Yesterday out of the blue the back of my neck hurt and I started having problems swallowing. Very bad sore throat but no sinus or coughing like a normal cold. I do have a fever of 102 right now.

I would call my Doctor. Fever of 102 is a concern.

My husband fell in the pot-holed-laden parking lot of our health club. He’s OK but while he was in X-ray I bumped into an old friend. She is 80 and said she had the flu and was waiting to get a chest X-ray because the doctor feared pneumonia. She lives in an independent living complex. The flu is making the rounds there, even though it’s almost April.

Our friends from here have a grown son who had to be admitted to the hospital (another state) for (what was thought) flu.

He just kept getting worse and then a lung tumor was found.

Poor kid...he has had quite a rough time...surgery Tuesday to remove the tumor (9 cm)

He has been off and on the ECMO since Feb 20th.

So, he was having flu but more serious underlying condition. He didn’t have a flu shot too.

Oh my. Something must be getting passed around then. I woke up this morning all stuffy and ill. Took some DayQuil and went ahead and got some chores done but I stopped after 2. Just feel icky and certainly think I have a head cold.

I hope everyone feels better soon.

Flu was still rampant here in southern WV as of 2 weeks ago, along with a norovirus that filled local hospitals again with a lot of dehydrated patients. The VA was discouraging visitors to their inpatients due to the fast spreading norovirus.

At my routine checkup on Wednesday, I asked the nurse if she thought flu season had run it’s course here. She said they had had not diagnosed and treated many flu patients this winter. Strep was their #1 illness for the last few months.

I sure hope I'm not sick. Last Monday was the first time I've felt "OK" in two months. Just one cold after another when I normally rarely get a cold. Two days ago I was on a plane, and I'm waiting for the next cold from all those germs! So far so good...

Allergeis are already starting to get to people too. Knock on wood, I've been fine but one of DH's best friends has been sick for weeks. No energy, coughing, achy, pain in mid-back and just feels bad. He's been back and forth to a doctor twice.

Wednesday I was sneezing a lot at work but other than that I felt fine. I went home and during a tv show, I started to get a super stuffy nose, dry cough and achy feeling. I woke up yesterday and felt fine. Don't know what that was all about.

Here in SE Michigan Influenza A is going around big time. Our dd just had it...was tested. Fever, aches,cough. She got into the dr early and Tamiflu helped her a lot. She caught it from her husband whose office was half out with it.

The pharmacist said that these late season flu outbreaks are usually when the virus mutates late in the flu season.

The people I know who have had it were all under 40, many kids. Lasts a bout 5-7 days.
