Hi all, I'm recovering from the very worst flu I've ever had in my entire life. It turns out the government or whoever wrongly predicted which strain of flu to immunize the population against and I got the horrific stomach flu that makes you want to die, and has actually killed people. I won't be on here for awhile but I did want to tell all of you to be really careful and wash your hands, sanitize everything, dip yourself in clorox if you have to, just be careful. This thing is the worst, I threw up from four in the morning until 1:30 in the afternoon the next day, every 15-20 minutes. And I got the "flu shot", but it was the wrong strain I was immunized for. This is happening all over the country too. Be especially careful if your immune system is already compromised in any way. Take care of yourselves and I'll be back when I'm feeling better. Also if you do get sick, rest as much as you can, I made the mistake of going back to work too soon and it set me back big time in my recovery, I couldn't drive home because I was so dizzy, nauseated and covered in sweat. It's awful. I do hope you all had a merry Xmas...Talk to you later.
Flu shot does not protect you
Hope you feel better pheonix!! 😢
i'm so sorry. they but out the flu virsius that they fiquried would hurt the worse and take over but the promblem is that choose the wrong one had not enough vassinations. but my understnading was they waited as long as they could.
i'm so sorry u got it though. i hope u do get better. if not u may not get over it until the weather warms up for more then a few days.

Awww, you guys are so sweet! Thanks very much for your kind words. I did get all better, but boy that was a rough one. It was weird, I was really sick for about a day and a half, then I thought I felt better enough to work, so I worked (and only a four hour shift, mind you) and thought it was going to KILL ME, and the next day I felt as sick as I did the first day and developed a fever and the whole nine yards. And what's weird is that I've talked to people who had the same exact flu and they said the exact same thing happened to them, you think you feel better and then you like...regress! 😢 lol, I hate the CDC, I'm suing etc...jk...but you know, they really better get it together next time because people really have died from this.
yeah. gald 2 hear ur doing better. but truth be there's still a lot to learn. and the should learn more. next time they need 2 make 2 virsuis and make plenty of them in advace and see which one is the main one.
WATEVER
