Never had it before, just started symptoms last night. I honestly don't feel awful, just body aches and sore muscles and congestion.

Shouldn't I have fever or sore throat? Started tami flu and took some Advil


What is my timeline like in the upcoming days? I did get my flu shot. Have a family Xmas party tomorrow night. Can I drink?


TIA

If you caught it early Tamiflu will help to speed up the recovery process.

If it doesn't work...prayers sent.

If before the fever erupted, you should be good with Tamiflu. If not, full blown flu for you...sorry.

Type A is the worst. They grade them from A to Z with A being the worst and Z being the easiest. They say A is almost equal to Ebola or Aids or something.

You might consider getting a bubble to live in for a while.

So you trust what a message board tells you about your diagnosis more than a medical test?

You gone. Rip.

Get better. Flu season sucks. My lungs always fill up now (I blame my 20s). Sometimes I have to get breathing treatments now. Oh I dread the flu season.

I knew I would get about 10% legit answers. Just waiting for someone who has actually had it and what to expect

If you have the flu, do everyone a favor and stay the frick home or whatever you have to do to stay away from them. Whether you are showing signs or not. Nobody wants that shite around them.

How did you test positive already? Your first symptom was last night and you already went to a DR for tests?

So you coughed and had a chill, so you go to urgent care 12 hours later? Is that what happened?

Had it 2 weeks before Christmas

Try to avoid congestion in chest, at all costs.

Never had sore throat but did run a low-grade fever first few days.

Do NOT go to family party....

Don't drink beer. Drink tons of water. Aches, fever, chills, sweats, burny eyes, stuffy nose, can't breathe or sleep well or even truly be awake.

Welcome to hell!
