This flu is kicking my arse. Yesterday I got all those IV fluids and anti-nausea stuff and I still feel like death. At least I'm not dehyrated anymore.... for now. The last two days I'd throw-up even if I just took a couple sips of water. I've managed to keep down small sips of water today. I had to take 2 days off my new job already. I feel terrible. But what can I do? I tried working but it just made the flu worse. <sigh> At least the hospital gave me a note so my new boss doesn't think I'm just slacking!

Tammie-- Feeling like crap in Salt Lake City.

If you have apple cider vinegar in the house, take a large glass of cool water and put about 1/2 tsp of apple cider vinegar in it and stir well. Sip slowly, one sip at a time, spaced several minutes apart. It will quell your nausea. I'm sorry you got the flu.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Here I am complaining about a simple head cold, and you've got the flu! Take it easy, and don't go back to work too soon.

I didn't know you were sick. I hope you feel better soon. I would hate to get the stomach flu. That's just awful, and I love to eat too much for that.

Get well soon! But make sure to take that extra day off even if you feel better. Avoid a relapse!

I've risen from the dead for about 10 minutes. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. And yes, I will take that extra day off. I'm still fighting fever, shakes, headache and body aches but feel slightly better tonight.

Hope you feel better! (((hugs))) It must be awful...I can only imagine. I didn't get the vomit, but I had the flu around Christmas and anyone with it now (including you) has my thoughts and prayers.
Take care and I hope you feel better soon!
