About three weeks ago I was knocked down (hammered more like) by a flu that was almost entirely G-I (lot of fun there - not) and body aches/fever for about ten long days. I'm hearing from friends that didn't get the vaccine that they were down for almost three weeks! It's draining and dismal. Not to mention dangerous. If the vaccine reduced the symptoms and duration for my illness, I'm thankful. It's not too late to get vaccinated. This flu is a bad one this year. I'm still not back 100%. Get your Flu Shot. And if you're sick, stay home and get well - don't let this one spread. It's a doozy.
