I think I have the *achoo* flu
Oooohhhh.
My shoulders really hurt today. Hmm. I have felt bad all day long and it has only gotten worse.
Wonder if I have the flu? I'll go check WebMD.
The symptoms of influenza appear suddenly and often include:
Fever of 100 °F to 104 °F when symptoms first develop. Check
Shaking chills. Not yet Update: Now, I have the chills.
Body aches and muscle pain (often severe), commonly in the back, arms, or legs. Oh God, check
Headache. Definitely
Pain when you move your eyes. Does the feeling that your head will explode count? If so, Check
Fatigue, a general feeling of sickness (malaise), and loss of appetite. Check
A dry cough, runny nose, and dry or sore throat. You may not notice these during the first few days of the illness when other symptoms are more severe. As fever goes away, these symptoms usually become more evident. Check
Ok, I think this counts as an official yes. Guess it is a good thing I don't have to worry about getting a flu shot since I will have already had it. This is what AoD had last week. He was reffing soccer games and going to work like this. He is one amazing dude. I just want to crawl up in a ball and die. Maybe this will make missing the flu shot no big deal.

Hey I was sympathetic. At least I was for me! You really should have called the doctor after the first symptoms...
