There always seems to be something going around. All I can say is watch your temperature and I hope you start feeling better.
Not myself personally, but I have had a lot of friends come down with the crud.

I'll take that!
Be careful with it. One of them ended up with pneumonia.

I've never had pneumonia or known anyone with it. Don't know that I'd even recognize it. Guess I should google.

Before you bother to google... check your lung capacity. Can you inhale and fully inflate your lungs?
Untreated bronchitis can lead to pneumonia.

Yep. I actually wouldn't think anything of this if not for the lightheaded,out of it feeling. And being exhausted.

I had a strain of the flu that was not included in my flu shot in October. From Sun - Sat the week before Christmas, I was knocked down, pretty much for the count. I've never had a bout like that, but then again i have never been 60 before, either. I got into to see my DR on that Tuesday, and the nasal swab produced positive flue results. I feel good now, but still not completely right. That strain was/is nasty.
We had a nine year old boy die near here last week after suffering complications from the flu since November. Sad.

There is 'always something going around' but, I gotta say it is WAY more widespread, it seems, than normal. WAY more people than normal, for me, have gotten sick. Some more like flu and wiped out, some with really wet coughs and a LOT like me, just a severe cold for a few days, running nose, tired. For me, it's because this is, by far, the least amount of holiday drinking I've done that I can remember. Thus, I am vulnerable lacking the normal protections of ongoing mild alcohol poisoning.
On the other hand, it's been so pleasant having NO hangovers to suffer with all the friends, family and running around that a new trend may have emerged. Kinda scary...

Anyone with kids need to prepare for next week.
You just know that there will be one kid in every class who's parents use the school more for daycare than education and will send their runny nosed, coughing, sneezing, walking infection to class which almost assures that YOUR kid will be sick in the coming days afterwards.

Feeling rundown and tired but I attribute that to the Christmas frenzy we all go thru. Just a couple of nights with some good sleep, hopefully will do the trick.

My family and myself had a virus last week with high temp cold etc. My daughter was out of school for 4 days. I heard there is a flu epidemic right now.

b23hqb, take good care of yourself. Doctor on Fox News spoke about that strain today. I couldn't find their article about but found one from CNN.
