My house is all sick, was off work for 2 days. Not flu though, just a bad cold or something, fever, stuffed up, coughing, aches etc.

That's NOT flu, it's gastroenteritis. It's an inflammation of the lining of your stomach/intestines....it WILL pass on it's own, but if you get too dehydrated, you may need to seek medical help. Hope you feel better soon!

That's been going around...nasty stuff. Drink tons of fluids but no soda with large quantities of sodium (Diet Rite Cola has none). Don't drink booze, that will dehydrate you very fast.:alcoholic

Influenza ("Flu") Is ALWAYS a respiratory situation......the illness consisiting of vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal distress is caused by the rotavirus, adenovirus, and astrovirus. Is is often mistakenly referred to as "flu" when it is absolutely of no relation to the influenza virus. Influenza has numerous symptoms, which may include nausea and vomiting, but there is, in fact, NO such thing as "stomach flu." That is a condition called gastroenteritis. It can be very dangerous for children and the elderly.

Influenza is hell, the real flu. When I finally went to see a doctor I had 101.5 degree temp (I was feeling better that day than the day before), I couldn't breathe if I took more than two steps, coughing fits, cold sweats, it was hell. I, now, always get my shot.

Just got over the stomach thing today. Yesterday was nothing but major bloating, throwing up, aches, pains, chills, and basically wanting to die.

Whatever it is, it was quick but man I am weak as hell today.

I had a couple glasses of water, half a cookie, two bites of a sandwich and a cup of tea.

Had a small breakfast today, but really jittery and achy as hell. This SUCKS!
