Hi You!

Sorry you are feeling rotten! Flus will get you down sometimes for months, and there is not much more you can do but wait it out. If you have an upper respiratory infection, ask you doctor for "Amoxycylin". I don't have to tell you to dose up on your water, V-8 juice, and Multi-B vitamin complex. With the B vitamin, find the lozenge that dissolves under your tongue, it works exponentially better than the regular vitamin. Avoid dairy, peanut oils, and any stimulants, including caffeine, as the latter will only tire you out worse. Lots of clear fluids, lots of bed rest, a mild amount of gentle exercise to keep your bones in shape, and do not bundle up if you get a fever. Fevers can get dangerous, so you need to break them as soon as they manifest by taking your aspirin or ibuprofen, and, during the fever, you want to *cool* your body down, though the fever will make you feel like you are freezing even in a warm room! In an emergency, draw a tepid bath and make it cooler by intervals until you stop aching, but you will feel exhausted after the fever breaks. Believe it or not, a humidifier is not the best thing to treat a viral respiratory infection, leave yours off.
That's the best I can offer you, please get well soon!
yeah been there the best thing to do is sweat it out i did that and the next morning i felt great..the bed was soaked though.
FLUIDS, FLUIDS, FLUIDS! Give your body time, it's working this out but you're REALLY sick. Sleep all you can and relax. I had the flu so bad one time I literally could not pick up my glass. That took a few weeks to totally get over. With that said, when in doubt, see a doctor!
Yes, that's normal .
you need rest , you must relax your mind

Save your energy or you would feel so weak that you won't be able to speak.

Have glucose drinks and sweet food that might give you energy.
Yes my husband has just had this flu super bad. He is one who never gets a cold ever and this flu has hit him bad. He had it for 3 weeks. After first week he went to doctors and got antibiotics but by then it was too late i think they didnt make much difference. Just stay in bed and drink lots of lemon juice and take painkillers. GOOD LUCK IT SOON WILL PASS>>!!
