Low grade fever, aches, chills, cough, sniffles...

If it looks, feels and sounds like influenza? Its influenza

What a bummer, man.  Hope you get better for Christmas, as well as tomorrow night.  Did you get a shot this year?

Get one every year...

We're supposed to be with a bunch of family starting Sunday night. We'll see, I really dont want to infect anyone- especially 88 year old MIL. 

Hmmm - maybe I'll skip the in-laws this year ;)

I don't know that I've ever gotten the flu in the my life. Food poisoning, yes. Colds, yep. Even strep throat. But never the flu.

Hang tough, just have to ride it out.

or the 2 stocking hat method...

get  a big bottle of blackberry brandy and 2 stocking hats.

put one hat on your head and crawl into bed with every blanket in the house on it and pull them up to your chin with one of your feet sticking out the end of the bed.  put the other stocking hat on your foot and proceed to drink the brandy until you cant see the stocking hat on your foot.

Jimmyinsd has not said whether he is a doctor, but my guess is he just plays one on this Vikings' message board.  Follow his stocking hat medical advice at your own risk.
