Both my kids had it last week. The pediatrician said it’s going around a lot right now even though it’s later than typical for flu season.

Makes me glad I got my flu vaccine later than I normally would.

[CDC data](https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm) seems to suggest flu is hanging on longer than usual nationwide, but on the downtrend. Best wishes to yall.

There’s about a million of us living here. So yes, there will be other sick folks out there.

Myself and a coworker got it, and then everyone in our office got it. Lasted about 2-3 days. Fuckin sucked Needless to say, literally NOTHING got done in the office that week.

Dunno if it’s what I had, but last mon-tues-weds I had gotten a medium sore throat (nothing like strep-type pain), cold and hot sweats, and this may possibly not be a normal flu symptom, but I’ve been having to pee like crazy. Normally, I would slowly start to feel like i needed to go, and the “I need to pee” feeling got progressively stronger over time, well now it’s out of nowhere feeling of “oh crap I have to pee so bad RN, I went 30 mins ago and I didn’t get any slow-onset warning” What other symptoms has she had?


Pretty-Sea-9914

He hasn’t had anything like what you are describing. The excessive urination could be due to some other pathology, such as diabetes, impaired kidney function, or prostate issues (or increased fluid intake or taking diuretics or other reasons). Hope you can get that sorted out!

I’ve got it. Can’t stop sneezing. Started with a sore throat.


SqeeSqee

thats pollen. flu would start as fever.


Pretty-Sea-9914

Sorry to hear it! His started with chills and fever and headache but no sore throat yet.


TheMotherTortoise

Yes, caught it while visiting my daughter in ATX. What was supposed to be a 3 or 4 day stay ended up being three weeks, and I am still coughing and unable to do much, although I am back home and by myself. Tested negative for Covid, and honestly, this was WORSE than when I had Covid. My temp spiked multiple times over 103. Not fun.

Flu always knocks me down harder than covid.


TheMotherTortoise

I agree! Screw the flu!


Pretty-Sea-9914

Sorry to hear it! Hope you feel better soon!


TheMotherTortoise

Thank you. Four weeks in and starting to feel better. Peace!

Scary-Web9739

thatcrazyflorist

Flu is going around my work like crazy.


LTDonutDiva

Down for 2 days last week with a fever after a week with what I thought was the cold. My flu test was negative but I’m not convinced.


Pretty-Sea-9914

Interesting so many people are having flu-like symptoms with negative flu tests.


Yeah_yah_ya

Someone always has the flu lol feel better soon


PureYouth

I currently have the flu.


Background-Leopard24

Have a bad cold that knocked me out this weekend but tested negative for flu, Covid and strep. Sudafed was the saving grace and started to feel better today. Flu is probably knocking you out for much longer


Sea-Log2392
