Yep, had that same flu myself about four year,s ago. it,s a real bad one. Women are lucky they never seem to be affected by this particular strain. Must be the extra layer of fatty tissue they supposedly have.

No Cures.. but some advice.

Do not insist (as my OH did) that an ambulance needs to be called...it really doesn't!;)

Taking all the duvets off all the beds in the house and draping them over your poor prone personage won't cure you..it will make everyone else cold, and angry.

REMEMBER this feeling and apply sympathy to others ..you will get this again and people have long memories..especially female people!:lol:

Hope you feel better in time for Christmas granty!

Up your vitc intake,increase your fluids,lots of rest and a nice hot bath.

Hopefully you'll shake it off.
