What I got for Christmas..... did you get it too???

December 31st, 2007 at 01:23 am




Good Lord, I hate to whine, but I got the F-L-U!! Not the flu, the F-L-U!! OMG! I have never had the FLU like this in my entire life. The body ache, the cough, the fever, the chills. All I could do was cry that I wanted my mommy!!!Frown Anyone have an idea how long this will last? I went to the doc yesterday and he just said take Tylenol/Ibprofin and he gave me prescription for a hydrocodone cough syrup?? I took it twice last night, but I sure felt WORSE when I got up this morning, so I think I will lay off that! We are supposed to have company tomorrow night, this has been going on since Wednesday, I hope and pray I feel better by then.

On a financial note, I had great plans of posting about my great plans! And on getting rid of the CC's and moving forward to being debt free. I may not make it by the 1st, but maybe by next weekend.

    Yeah, that cough syrup is expensive, although mine tasted like cake batter for some strange reason. Just really sweet.

    Anyway, hope you feel better soon!

    At the risk of being a jerk, I suppose you will get a flu shot next year, right? I have gotten one every year after getting a horrible case like you are describing. No guarantee but it really improves your odds!

    On the financial side, I thought for sure you were going to say...DEBT! I always get a big case of it for Christmas, which makes it hard to avoid being a Scrooge. But it spurred me to come here, and I'm glad I did!

    I thought you were going to say debt too. I doubt the flu shot would help much. But I guess we don't have to go there. LOL. We could start quite a debate on that one.

    I had the stinking flu twice these last months. IT was terrible. But it only lasted a couple of days (I heard some horror stories of a week or so).

    Oh I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!

    Oh, poor Boomeyer! I always think of dying when I'm that sick.

    I'm so sorry. I hope you feel better soon. I'm with Monkey mama. I don't believe in needles..... (i know, i know LOL)

    Sorry you are feeling so bad! I've been sick for over a week now, but not the flu so not as bad. I hope you feel better soon! I agree with the others...no flu shots here. I doubt it would work considering how quickly the flu strands change. Though some people swear by them and that's ok by me. Smile

    oh, we got it...in fact, we spread the joy and made it a family event! UGH!....how long it lasts depends on how you take care of it...sis took 5 days...Ale and I have been battling it for almost 2 weeks!

    Poor thing, I hope you feel better soon. Try some honey and lime juice. The last time I had a flu like that I thought I was dying, thank God it only happened once in my life time and I pray it never happens again

    Ughhhhh, no needles for me either! I rarely am sick anyway. Hubster got the free flu shot at his work and I could've gotten one too, but I PASS!!! Everytime.

    Sorry, Ralph, but the way things have gone w/antibiotics, and all the ENFORCED vaccinations in the U.S., I'm very leary of getting in line to let someone poke me with a needle for something I haven't got. I'll save my system the shock, and if ever something comes along that really scares the beejeebies out of me, THEN I MIGHT line up.

    It doesn't help that my Mom was a public health nurse and we were vaccinated out the wazoooooo as children, Nurse Harris (not my Mom) was the most unskilled woman EVER in giving shots - she just jabbed and where everyone else could at least not make it hurt any worse, she was the WORST!! The ever loving PITS I tell you! Every shot I ever got from her bruised BLACK AND PURPLE AND YELLOW and swelled up and was sore for weeks and weeks. I still have NIGHTMARES!! Thanks Ralph for reminding me... no really, I'll just muffle the screams w/my favorite pillow, it will be all right! Big Grin)

    Boo, keep pushing the liquids.

    twice in a row, I got the flu bad the day after my flu shots both time. I think it's more random than who got flu shots or not.

    I am sorry to hear your feeling miserable. I wish I can help but only advise is try to sleep as much as you can to pass the time. Maybe put a hot water bottle between the sheets for comfort? Movies also helps when you are in too much pain to sleep. I remember those days and had to breath under the sheets otherwise my breath froze from the air feeling so cold.
