well you all know what it is, the flu. that nasty virus that attacks you, yea we've all been there. but what are your ups and downs about it and any tips to not get it or to get it to go away. I happen to have the flu right now and it stinks, so whats it like for you?

kingvictory : haha what is our "View" of having the flu? It sucks. I doubt you will get a different reaction from anyone.

Honestly the best thing to do anytime you are sick is to get rest, and drink lots of clear fluids. Water is best with this because it helps you flush out all the "bad stuff"

Also if needed you can take some asprin/tylenol/whatever to help break your fever if you have one.

Feel better!

Jordanv78 : thanks and I meant when I said the ups was like do you get to watch tv and sleep or drink things like ginger ale(flat).
i played video games yesterday because the medicine made me feel better, then i woke up today, not feeling good.

I hate being sick, but unfortunately, unless it's super serious, I usually have to work anyway. That's the crappy part about being an adult, lol. You don't get to stay home and watch cartoons when you're sick anymore. 

The flu since I had it two months ago I say the flu is horrible you cough and sneeze till you about had it I hate the flu

I dont like the flu I had it a couple days ago and it felt awful.

Funny you should post this, I have the flu now. I'm pretty sure I'm about to die, it sucks.

being sick sucks

ender44 : I also have the flu and been out of school for 2 days, and it does suck, and I have a workout test in gym soon.

edit : ok, i just do hate a flu, and a swan flu

KG : sorry, i was actually in a bad mood at that time and didnt feel like being a good citizn of vizzed. i apologize. 

The ups and downs of having the flu, el oh el.

It's mostly a huge downhill ride. It's not like other sicknesses where you can sit around and eat snacks and ice cream all day and have people feel sorry for you. Anything anyone gave you to make you feel better would just be barfed back up, so that's no fun. There is literally nothing good about the flu. Some people would argue that not having to go to work/school is an up of the flu, but I'd rather go to just about any damn place than have the flu. I can think of very few things worse that can happen to you physically that doesn't involve surgery or something being wrong with your organs.

Flu season is awful. Hit up CVS and get a flu shot. I haven't gotten the flu in like 4 years.

haitamchouiekh : I'd thank you to not make a post that spammy, dumb, or vulgur in the future. It's completely unnecessary and that sort of thing does get noticed and punished if it becomes a habit.

As long as it is not the stomach flu, it is not something that bothers me too much. I recall one time having the flu and actually liking how relaxed it made me feel. It had felt like I had never been so relaxed in my life! I realize that it meant my fever was probably on the high side, but the only bad feelings I had was some lethargy and aches. There was no associated sneezing or stuffiness.

A few months ago, I had thought I had the flu, but ended up have three infections (nose, ears, throat). THAT was not fun, especially as I had to go to the doctor's, costing me a lot of money (no insurance yet, it's still going through a bunch of paperwork hoops). My work does not excuse having a fever and requires going to a doctor to be excused from work. Irks me terribly, though I see their side on it. Being sick was absolutely more fun when I was in school... or even at my old job, haha.

What I usually do for the flu is drink a lot of juice, or water if my stomach is not feeling too good, and make sure to eat enough to give me some energy. I remember when I was younger, I would be given only a little it of food, but I personally think that actually made me weaker. Eating NORMAL food (not junk or anything too heavy) has always helped me recover a bit better. The appetite might not be completely there, but if you can eat a fair amount, it usually helps your body work better.

Of course, I am not a health professional, could be just what works for me!

Sick bedridden and miserable the worst is just not being able to do anything sucks also I get sick of chicken noodle real fast.
