"I had it really bad between Christmas and new year, first time I’ve had it and without a doubt the most ill I’ve ever felt in my life. Didn’t move from bed for 3 days or leave the house for 7 days. It’s really awful. Wishing you a speedy recovery!" Thank you! Hoping I will recover quicker than 7 days | |||

"I had it when I was around 14, I thought I was actually going to die I felt so ill. Always makes me laugh when someone says they've got flu when it's actually just a bad cold." Yep especially when people are at work and claim to have the Flu, no way anyone would be able to get to work or go anywhere with actual flu | |||

"i, Andy am just getting over it, i catch it easily due to other health issues, in fact ive been in the hospital this morning for some shots, starting to feel better a bit now, is really sucks, wishing you all the best and hope you feel better soon, and agree, some people call a cold a flu, it really isnt, flu kill alot of people, a cold wont" Coronavirus has killed around 500 people worldwide in 5 weeks whereas Flu kills over 40,000 people worldwide every month | |||
"I don’t think I’ve ever had it..." You would know if you had | |||

"About 5 times 1 of them i almost died at work because of it i started hallucinating while i was on a roof i didnt wake up ill it just started about 930 that day spent £35 on a taxi home then spent about 4 5 days unable to move too ill but terrified cos the walls were bleeding in the bedroon i thought i was a gonna croak it" You do feel like you’re dying, or that there’s something more serious wrong with you | |||

Yep especially when people are at work and claim to have the Flu, no way anyone would be able to get to work or go anywhere with actual flu" I could barely even get my head up off the pillow when I had it, shivering but sweating, whole body in pain, the worst headache ever, it was grim. | |||

"I had it once many years ago. It does bother me when people say they have ‘a touch of flu’. There really is no such thing and they would know that if they ever had real flu. It’s not a heavy cold, it absolutely floors you. " The first time I had it I was in my early twenties. I phoned my doctor and said I think I’m dying. I insisted on a home visit (such a brat) He came round and said “yep you have the flu” haha | |||

"How often have you had real flu?" Twice; 1992 after returning from Nepal to Hong Kong, and 2008 in Shanghai (probably infected by a taxi driver in Singapore who was repeatedly coughing as he took me to the airport). Extremely unpleasant. Best wishes for your recovery. | |||

"Generally, individuals who are moderately or severely ill (with or without fever) should wait until they are fully recovered before getting influenza vaccine. Likewise with sports / gym (you'll realise why in a couple of weeks when you're in the recovery phase). " I can’t remember how long I felt weak for with previous bouts | |||
"just as a worning, my dad was tetropleagic, due to an acident in his teens, but functioned well, ha could mostly walk, all be it with sticks, but since hes never been able to stand alone, cant ever use an un powered chair.not sure of spelling, he took a flue jjab as recomended by his doctor, it knoked him for six, hes never been able to leave a wheelchair since, and it takes 2 people to get him up , and he can only stay up for a few hours, im not saying the flue jab caused it, but its surely a factor, be careful what you put in your body" | |||
