the flu

[TheSanityAnnex]

no sir.

I'm about 99.9% sure I know who it is though. And it's not me. I think he makes it pretty obvious. Why would you think it's me?

Who do you think it is? I've already figured it out.

I won't say his name, but his initials are...

[J.T.]

I plead the FIF.

[Findog]

ever since my last trip to dallas, i haven't been able to shake the su ious feeling that everyone there "plays for the other team"

Makes me wonder what you were doing hanging out in Turtle Creek.

[Findog]

I don't want to jinx myself but I have never had the flu before and have no idea what it feels like to be that sick. from my persepective it seems people who get the flu are borderline dying or something and need alot of rest.

I had it once, back in the sixth grade, and it was a very mild case as the flu goes. I was fine after about two days.

My husband and I are dealing with this now. He's been home the past two days. I have done nothing but cough up my lungs and woke up with a 102 fever this morning. It's horrible.

I took some non drowsy sudafed right before i went to sleep and it made me sleep in a very peaceful state, i am doubting the Non Drowsiness

there's a reason that you know what that place is and I don't. and it's not just that you live in dallas.

I don't live in Dallas and rarely spend time there. I know what the Castro district is in San Francisco and I've never been there. Seriously, Dallas is NOT that much of a cosmopolitan city. If you got that vibe, then that's probably because of where you were. Why is being gay considered such a bad thing? It's 2008.

My advice....

Get a job that mandates the flu shot...then you rarely have to deal with the flu.

They even have something called the "flu mist" which is a nasal spray....no needles.

Prevention is the best course....

[Shelly]

I don't know when the last time I had the fluw was.

Plus, this latest front brought in more cedar and I can barely keep my eyes open, they are watering so badly.

Someone kill me now.



Please.

Out here, in the Hill Country, you can just see the red pollen on the Cedars.

[ShoogarBear]

Sheep. Lots and lots of it.

[Shelly]

If you get this thing, I really feel for you as it will knock you on your ass. I woke up at midnight on Friday with a fever of almost 104, plus all the coughing (Mucinex DM works great, btw). I've had it since Wednesday and today, while I still have a temp of around 100, I'm not as achy. But now I've got to get rid of all the gunk which is the worst part. And now I think my kids are coming down with it. Good times.

Stay healthy!



Flu Sweeps Through San Antonio

After a mild flu season last year, San Antonians are definitely feeling the contagious bug this time around. News 4's Leslie Bohl Jones shows us the numbers behind this year's flu trend.

It's contagious, painful and enough to make you miserable. The flu has many San Antonians staying home from work and school this week.

More than 250 people filled waiting rooms at Texas MedClinics all over town this week, including more than 100 cases on the northwest side alone. This time last year, there were only about 30 cases city-wide. The best way to protect yourself this flu season is to get a flu vaccine.

Hundreds more are suffering from upper respiratory infections this week, also known as the common cold. An upper respiratory infection can be passed from person to person by sneezing, coughing, or other personal contact. You can treat a mild infection with over the counter medications.
