Well, I am by no means a health expert, but I do know this. People are weak, because the immune system takes the majority of your energy, so, it can keep you from (in theory) getting worse. But, yea, it sucks to be sick. I hope you feel better soon Kevin.

Sounds like you got a good dose of the flu Kevin.

Hope you are not burning the candle at both ends as that won't help.

Try ginger and hotmilk....go to bed and pull covers over head :).

Forget computers, telephones, Christmas shopping etc for at least 24 hours.

We all want to see you up and healthy for Christmas.

All Flight Plans Cancelled.....Cheers...Doug :) :) :)

Ya, the U.S, the flu has swept like crazy over everybody.
   Sorry if you knew that, not sure how international this thing is.
Anyways, I HAD a slight case of it not to long ago. It totally brings you down, i took alot of nightquil, and it helped a bunch. Hopefully, you get over it too.

It must have something to do with having two toddlers around.  Before the babies, I would catch maybe one cold per year at most.  Now it seems like every other month, I'm sick.  We spent the early morning of the 17th in the ER with Olivia, because she had the same symptoms.  Bad way for her to spend her birthday...  ::)

Hope what you've got isn't the stuff that's been going on around here lately. Within the last week a couple babies have died of the flu in our area

Get lot's of rest and get well soon ;)

Sorry to hear you're crook mate. If it helps at all, most of Australia is, has been or will have the same flu virus that's knocking people down all over the place.

Hope you feel better shortly.  ;D ;)
