I didn't get the flu shot, I am 61 almost 62 so I should start getting it every year. When I was in the military I had to get one every year, it's part of a unit being combat ready. I have had the flu maybe 4 or 5 times in my life. In 1986 I had it turn into pneumonia, I was getting over it when it went into pneumonia which I thought was odd.
For those who don't know if they had the flu or if they have just had bad colds, the telling symptom is a fever. Colds rarely produce a fever, if they do it is very slight. A fever almost always goes with flu and it is usually over 100, the kind of fever that produces chills. Body aches are often part of flu and rarely are part of a cold.

in past years i've had the skin on my hands literally crack open, bleeding, and any time they came in contact with water they'd sting/burn. i started using Eucerin's Aquaphor healing ointment on my hands, every day and at night before going to bed -- just massaged it in to the skin on my hands. that stuff got my hands healed, smooth and soft as a baby's behind now. i don't need the ointment often now, but i do lightly coat my hands and face with it before going out into the snow and frigid temperatures -- as a precaution, to protect my skin. it might be worth trying the Aquaphor, to see if that might help your toes.
