fuck hun, i hope you get better ;~; *hugs*

maybe go to a doctors? this sounds kinda bad D:

I did yesterday and they gave me tamiflu. not much I can do....

nawh D: hope things get better soon

When you have the energy, drink water. Keep hydrated. Get well soon.. <3 And don't let fear take over. It will do no good.

If you are having trouble breathing to that extent, you need to see your doctor.

You have been to the doctors right?
That really needs to be looked at because of the couple of serious strains of flu going around.

I have 101 and 102 fevers all the time xD
flus hapen all the time here, even when I get shots, which is why I don't bother anymore

if you take a cold bath, it can help

omg...my bf and I just went thru that one!! fever/chills/dehydration/sore throat/cough/screwed up taste buds/exhaustion/congestion/ and some kinda weird thing with a sore throat that lasts for days after the actual chill passes.

I'm so sorry you have to go thru it...it was hideous and took days and days to fade away...hang in there!!!

Try not to worry. If your fever doesn't go down in a day or two, I'd suggest getting some medical attention. I hope you feel better. I know the flu strain here is pretty harsh, but it should be gone soon... not sure where you are.

q__q Don't get too worried about it, it may only make things worse. Try to take it easy, stay hydrated, eat when you can.

I once had a flue that was this big *Holds paws out* Get better ;3

Drink lots of hot tea and similar stuff and just stay in bed as Long as possible. Don't strain yourself or the virusses will strike back.

Hope you will feel better soon.

Get well soon! and if your fever gets any higher call for an ambulance

Blegh, I catch the Flu atleast once a year, nothing to do but load up on pills and try to sleep through it. I find that a lovely hot cup of tea soothes the throat for an hour or so, as for the fever, best I can offer is taking some Flu pills and having a damp cloth on your forehead.

How long ago did you get a flu shot?

I never get flu shots.

Neither do I. Though I have not got the flu since the last time I got a flu shot, about 8 years ago. I just OD on orange juice and try to stay active, it usually passes in less than a week. Though if it is a stomach flu, eeesh, not much you can do there.

Fight that fucker of a flu Sal. I know you can do it :3

Drink some tea and lots of water. Wrap up even if you're too hot. It helps break a fever in my experience.I've also found that sleeping a lot helps me.recover faster. I hope you get better soon~

Medicine. Prescription is better. I only get medicated as a last resort.

if this has been going on for more then 3 days or hell not to make it worse but for 2 or so days get to the doctor some of the flu strain going around is not to mess with and some folks have .. well they have died from it I have been told.. just rest as much as you can keep clear liquids and broth like chicken around to sip at.. it works wonders. I had kind of the same situation a month ago and just as I was about to head to the doc the whole thing FINALLY broke the night before... good luck...

Last time I was at the doctor, for some much more minor viral infection, the doctor advised that 5 days was more along the lines of how long they'd wait, before starting to be concerned. And people always die from the flu, but that tends to be the very young/very old/people with compromised immune systems.

This one sounds nasty, but as people have said, rest, fluids, ibuprofen, and cold cloth on the forehead if the ibuprofen isn't doing enough. (I did that many years ago, when I had a particularly bad flu. It made things slightly more tolerable.) Hope you get over it soon though.

took me about 10 days to fully get over it AFTER the fever and chills broke and went away.. if its the same thing you're going to feel really tired for awhile.. then again everyone is different in reaction to getting sick and such... hope it doenst hang around cause its not fun stuff

I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

I did not know you were sick. I am sorry. Please get better!

It sounds like you have THE FLU.

Just relax, rest and drink a ton of water. A bad flu can last between 3 days and 1.5 weeks. Hydration is important and so is REST.

When that fever comes up, make an attempt as best you can to get some water in you then.
Don't drink hot anything when the fever is up. Drink room temperature water. Tap even. It'll help majorly with regulating your body tempurature, and doesn't do too much to a sore throat.

best thing i would suggest and always works for me is get as hot as you can and sweat it out, heaters on couple of blankets and make sure you have ALOT of water nearby to replace the stuff you sweat out.
might not work for everyone but i can get rid of some pretty bad colds/flu this way and within a day or 2

also i normally do all this just as the cold/flu is starting out before it gets too bad

Oh man, I can relate, I used to get it once a year every year. Only I hallucinated and couldn't stand for more than 5 seconds... I would strongly suggest calling a doctor, or if you can't at least have someone around constantly in the event it gets that bad they can help you. And stay away from that pink medicine that I can't currently remember the name too! it'll make you suicidal if you're not careful.

I... doubt that having the flu would make me suicidal. but I'll keep that in mind.

No it's the medicine that'd do it. I don't know how it works but I have had people tell me to stay away from it when a flu gets that bad and when you are a certain age, so yeah, avoid it.

What you need, is a live in nurse! Someone hot who will look after you while your sick. Cook you some nice food, get your meds, tuck you in. And of course, provide a lap as a pillow for you to lay your head on. The only catch is that they have to be what you consider physicaly atractive. Otherwise it's not as great.

Pfff XD I... kind of have that? But I'm really not that needy. ever.

Well needy doesn't realy factor in to much in this case. Just more of: Sometimes it's nice when your sick to be completly pampered.

On the flip side of this, speaking as a pamperer, sometimes it's nice to have someone you care for who's sick, that you then pamper completly. *nods sagely*

I whole heartedly agree!

<<-- Pamperer. >_< (but it's nice to be pampered in return every now and then ^^ )


*Hugggles* All the good advice has already been given, so here's best hopes that this sickiness leaves you as quickly and quietly as possible!

darn:(hope you get better!
