Anyone else have the flu this year? I guess there must be something to all those news media stories about so many people with the flu this year. My wife and I have both been fighting through it for 4-5 days now. We've never had it before, and never got the shot before. Maybe next year we'll get the shot.

| Rampant here, though none of us has got it so far. I'm just praying Sophia doesn't get it. She does not need that right now!! |

It doesn't seem to have hit us here in Binghamton yet. Don't feel too silly about the flu shot, Jim. They are saying it may only be about 50% effective. Apparently the strain they made the vaccine out of is not the strain that is going around. So this could be scary.
CT-R, hope you and the wife feel better real soon.

So far, so good here. I get the flu shot every year and since I've gotten it I haven't had to miss work due to the flu...*keeping fingers crossed, though because I'm also hearing the vaccine may not be effective*.
We're not seeing absences from school yet but it usually doesn't hit down here until around February. |

| Have you guys heard about the Flu Mist? Apparently it's a needleless flu shot that you inhale. Sounds a lot better than getting poked. I guess it's a little more expensive than the needle, not sure if insurance covers it yet. |

Get well soon! The flu is a miserable thing, and I am determined NOT to get it this year. I've got my supply of Vitamin C and "Coldeeze" , and I'm a regular Lady MacBeth, washing my hands again and again...... |

As far as I am concerned, that "Cold-Eeze" is the best kept secret in the country! That stuff works! My DH (who won't use it as he should) has been suffering with a really bad head cold...don't think it is the flu... and I have been taking about 1500 mg of Vit C each day to try to ward it off.
I, too, am determined! |
