I feel bad for all of you. My mom was a teacher and would bring home every sickness known to man that my brother and I didn't already bring home. That woman had the immune system of superman or maybe wolverine. I can only remember her taking 2 sick days due to actually being sick. She would get the sniffles for a day or two and then be right as rain."In 48 hours, when you don't eat and only sleep, I dropped 3.4 lbs. I haven't seen this weight since high school. I am feeling better though."
Down another 1.2 lbs, but turned the corner.
Spoiler Alert on this round of flu:
All 3 of us had it with almost identical symptoms.
Day 1-2: achey all over back pains, lethargic, runny nose, trade sleep for eat
Day 3: runny nose, less lethargic, hacking up aliens, appetite returning, body starts flushing the system: loose (not terrible, but I wouldn't want to be on the road).
Day 4: runny nose, not lethargic, far less hacking up aliens, more flushing the system (again, not terrible, but I wouldn't want to be on the road). Tons more energy. Appetite returned.
We all 3 had the same experience within hours of 1st onset (highly contagious) except for the wife, who is in day 3 and had a 1/2 day migraine.
As far as the flu goes from previous experience, this was not that bad.
