Post in this thread if you're getting or have the flu. Heck, if you had the flu already then come on in.

For the last 72hrs my body has been insanely achey. Going through heatwaves and chills. I have had very little to eat.

I tried steam and poo poo but I'm still coughing like I'm going to die!

Tell us your flu experiences!!!

I got my flu shot last week.
I always do. And never get the flu.
I was got all my immunizations as a child
And, get this, I don't have any terrible, crippling diseases.
Weird right??

It can't actually infect you with the flu but it can give you minor flu-like symptoms. This is a well documented thing, not some anti-vax bullshit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_vaccine#Safety

Never needed the flu shot before. Probably won't this year either now :(

I got a lot of crap out of my lungs and am feeling a little better.

It sounds like it's really taking off this year. Lots of sick people around.

If we all live long enough I'm sure there'll be a super flu epidemic like the early 20th century one that killed millions. I'm not sure what impact a flu shot would have on that super virus outcome, hopefully some of our resident scientist Goons can weigh in on such an important question. If it'd save me from a super flu I might get a flu shot. :shrug:

The flu shot is just making the flu virus stronger, so once a super flu is formed it will wipe all of us out. Except for the people that don't get Flu shots and have immune systems naturally able to defeat the flu virus of course.

Can confirm that the flu is learning and evolving, had to recently take a week off from work and still felt like poo poo for days after that.

The last time I was anywhere near as sick was 15 years ago and that was thanks to the optimal virus growing conditions of army barracks.

Honestly the more I get self-righteously ranted at about how I'm a monster for not getting the flu shot, the less I want to do it. Everyone always turns the rage up to 11 and accuses you of killing their grandmother and a bunch of babies the second you express even hesitance at getting it.

I got the flu at the beginning of December 2013. I got out of physical rehab in mid January. I missed Christmas and I don't smoke anymore.

Get your flu shots. Especially if you smoke.

Never got a flu shot, had the flu once and it sucked but whatever it lasted for a few days.

If you die from the flu, I consider it natural selection.

What am I reading here??
I skipped the flu shot one year, thinking I'm a healthy 20-something that couldn't be felled by a loving virus.

How wrong I was.

I got out of work on new year's, though. That was the only upside to feeling like I was dying for a few days, even with tamiflu.

Saw the doctor today but it seems like I'm in a similar boat. Not sore today. Got some medication.
