Lonestar Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I can't believe how sick I am. I've been feeling down for a couple days and yesterday midday at work a fever spiked and I had to go home. I spent the rest of the afternoon and night delerious in bed. I feel better this morning, but not enough to go to work or anything. The stupid thing about this is that I had my flu shot, so how the hell did I get the flu? I'm crawling back into bed now. Hope everyone is doing well.
jen4 Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm sorry you have gotten the flu. I had it about 2 months ago and so did my daughter. There is this homeopathic medicine sold at walmart called oscilloccinum-I'm looking at the box- it worked great for the fever chills and achiness. Its a capsule filled with some granules-looks like sugar,they dissolve on your tongue. It's worth a shot. Hope you're feeling better shortly. Jen
alphamale Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I spent the rest of the afternoon and night delerious in bed. hmm...you must have found that fwb The stupid thing about this is that I had my flu shot, so how the hell did I get the flu? you got a different strain than you were innoculated against...

Becoming Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Sorry to hear you're feeling bad, LoneStar. Have fun on LS today and take it easy. AC may be on to something. You can read about the wandering uterus for a good laugh on the link below. Prayers for LoneStar's health!
TUDOR Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Hope you feel better Lonestar, I have heard that it helps to send your LS friends naked pictures of yourself. 1
whichwayisup Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Feel better soon! I HATE being sick, so I feel for how you're feeling. Drink lots of water, get some gatoraid too. And sleep as much as you can.
soar eyes Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Lonestar, I just got over the flu that gave me a severe sinus and inner ear infection. I stayed in bed for 7 days and this is going on the third week that I am finally feeling half way back to my usual self. I still feel weak. Take lots of water, orange juice, tea, NSAID, and treat your symptoms. Try and eat something and take some vitamins. Nothing beats sleep when you have the flu. Hope you feel better
Author Lonestar Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks everyone, for the sympathy and the laughs. I can't get out of bed for too long. Maybe 15 minutes and then the pillow calls again. This probably would have been a lot worse if I didn't get my flu shot. soar eyes, I don't even want to think about a possible sinus infection following this crap. I had one of those two years ago that knocked me on my ass for 2 weeks. I went through two rounds of antibiotics and right after that came down with a stomach flu - one of those where you can't even move an inch or you'll vomit. Hopefully, this will only last another day and I'll be back to my normal twisted self. Carry on, folks...
Outcast Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Every time I got a 'flu shot, I got the 'flu that year. I take multivitamins, exercise, and try to eat right so I'm trusting my immune system to defend me until I'm so old that I need extra help.
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Lonestar, Have you called your doc to get some Tamiflu? It rocks. Eat some chicken soup, drink some OJ and remember to take some tylenol for that fever. And get better soon!
luvtoto Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Hey! I've been sick with a cold since last Thursday and no one has said anything to me about feeling better! JKJKJK!!! Hope you get to feeling better, Lonestar. It's not fun.
Gold Pile Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I hope ya feel better for our valentine's day date. I would say rest up, but I don't know of any ladies with children that can rest.

I take multivitamins, exercise, and try to eat right so I'm trusting my immune system to defend me until I'm so old that I need extra help. I've been getting the shot every year for about 5 years now. I'm terrified to do without after coming down with a case several years ago that was so bad I was almost hospitalized.
cal gal Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I'm sorry honey, missed you today, and hope tomorrow is better for you...
Author Lonestar Posted February 4, 2006 Author Posted February 4, 2006 luvtoto, I didn't know were sick, but I'd rather have a cold that the flu I hopw you're feeling better too. jen jen, sweetie thanks for worrying about me. I'm feeling much better tonight after a day of mostly sleep. Now I'm bored and sick of being in bed, but I think I'll be back to normal by tomorrow. I'ts great to see you're doing so much better. Thanks cal gal! I'm feeling better already and heading to bed shortly.
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Thanks. Sorry we spat before. But as I am still recovering from being very sick, I know how bad it sucks. For all the medicine out there, nothing eases the aches and pains of the flu or other infection like a good hot shower, followed by a cup of cocoa.
Author Lonestar Posted February 4, 2006 Author Posted February 4, 2006 I hope ya feel better for our valentine's day date. I would say rest up, but I don't know of any ladies with children that can rest. Dear Gold Pile. I'll be fine for our date and have already booked a room at the Grantmore. I missed you terribly over the past few days. Please don't leave again.
Author Lonestar Posted February 4, 2006 Author Posted February 4, 2006 Thanks. Sorry we spat before. But as I am still recovering from being very sick, I know how bad it sucks. For all the medicine out there, nothing eases the aches and pains of the flu or other infection like a good hot shower, followed by a cup of cocoa. Don't be sorry, hon. I didn't consider it a spat at all. I knew exactly what you were going through because I've been there before. It's a deep hole to crawl out of, but you did it. Be very proud, girl!!
luvtoto Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 luvtoto, I didn't know were sick, but I'd rather have a cold that the flu I hopw you're feeling better too. Thanks Lonestar! You will be as good as new tomorrow I'm sure.
Outcast Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Actually, take it easy. Don't rocket back into your regular routine. Two of my friends neglected themselves and didn't really slow down enough when they had the flu and they ended up with serious complications. The 'flu virus can travel to other organs and do them damage.

In other words, my plans to go out tomorrow night will be replaced with staying home and doing my taxes. Joy I'm just glad I'm feeling human again. My bed has my body imprint on it. Time to flip the mattress.
