So, Saturday morning I woke up and felt like I had been hit by a train. Achy, sore throat, pounding headache, dizzy, weak, the lot. Brushed it off for the most part as a cold and went about everything as normal.
Sunday morning I woke up 10 times worse and my mom took me to the doctor. Tested for strep throat and influenza, and my flu test came back positive. (Keep in mind I DID have a flu shot this year... :doh: )
Mom drugged me with cough medicine around 4pm and I didn't wake up til 8am this morning. I'm not allowed to go back to school til Thursday (aka I'm missing a TON of work), and I basically feel like I'm on my deathbed.
The doctor said that this year's flu is being resistant to the medicine everyone planned on using, and so I've got this weird inhaler thing on top of 3-hour rounds of DayQuil and ibuprofen.
Anyone else have experiences with the flu this year?
