Holy crap this stuff is brutal. Normally the flu goes away pretty fast for me. This time I can’t shake it. Just miserable
Anyone else get the Flu?

i got the flu shot. beats getting the flu.
I had a fairly bad case of COVID (at least for me, the other two times I've had it was absolutely nothing) followed a couple weeks later by what I think was the flu. I was the sickest I've been in my adult life (which really isn't all that sick). For close to a month I could barely stay up past 6:30. In fact, I'd go to bed at 6:30, sleep until 8:30, be awake until 9 and then sleep the rest of the night. I still have some lingering sinus issues.
And I did have my flu and COVID shots, it must have been a different strain.

Never get the shot and never get the flu
Got the shot and didn't get it. Sounded like people that got it had it bad this year. Hope you get over it soon.
Haven’t got the flu ever since I started getting flu shot every year.
That sucks. I've had a sinus thing happening for 7+ weeks now. Been on three different meds. Pretty sure it was mostly back sinuses, headaches have been the #1 presenter, drainage has been in back throat, not much up front/nose. Has slowly been getting better but man I'm ready for this thing to get kicked. Part of my morning routine now is checking the barometric pressure every day.
Hope yours gets better soon.
Woke up Saturday morning and felt like I got ran over. They gave tamiflu. I can’t ever remember getting the flu and feeeling this bad. My lungs are in n fire
Found out a few days ago a guy from my high school died of flu complications. He wasn’t yet 50.
Had the same thing. Mine only lasted a little over 3 weeks though. Mornings and evenings I would go through about a half box of tissues. Drainage just wouldn’t stop.
Had a cold that wouldnt go away for like 2 weeks recently. Kind of migrated through the body it felt like. Throat, to nose to lungs, to digestive system.
We were down south in late Jan. when I got hit by the 24 hour flu bug. It started right about the start of the Bills-Chiefs game and lasted till about 4am. When we checked out of the hotel I was worried that the cleaning staff might call the police because the bathroom looked like a crime scene.
I’ve gotten the flu twice after getting the vaccine. Got unlucky on the strains I guess. First time was after the mist vaccine so I always got the shot after that.
