We thought it was the flu, but it came back negative. I am driving to UCSF because the wife got sick today (104 fever). I’ll update in a few days when we know. They are going to culture it there. I was sick for four days but feel much better today. I’ll show lab results when I get them.
Did you order Chinese food in the last 14 days? Lot of bugs going around, not just the flu so could be any basic flu like bug..
Great. Does this mean all of us on ET could have it now because we're posting to the same forums and threads and PoopyDeek?
I haven't been sick for years. Got some kind of shi**y bug now. Felt like crap for two weeks now. Low fever tho (99-100). Sux...
Hey, likewise! Haven't been sick in I don't know how long. Have been getting my flu shots each year around Thanksgiving, this season no exception. About 10 days ago I suddenly had a slight fever, with nasty sinus congestion. It developed into a chest cold with lots of phlegm, and has only started to clear up in the past day or two. I'm thinking it's some sort of superbug.
In my 40's I got what I was certain was the flu. The funny thing was, after a few days I would feel fine, a day or two later, it came back. This went on for 5-6 days. I finally went to a Doc-In-A-Box and the Dr asked me some questions and then said, "drop your pants". I was like WTF!. Turns out I had prostatitis. He gave me antibiotics and I was fine after a couple of days. I would have bet any amount it was the flu.
