Flu but I’m starving.

[TimeAtTheBar]

I’ve got all the other hallmarks of flu. Came on pretty suddenly and I’ve been almost immobile for two days, horrendous aches, headache, dry cough, sweating, shaking. The whole caboodle.

Excelpt…I’m ravenous! Luckily DH is here and bringing me snacks and food; mainly stuff I can eat laying down like a galaxy bar or a bowl of chips. I’ve never had this before with a flu bug, the two nasty ones I’ve had before left me with zero appetite.

Is this a strain doing the rounds? I haven’t Covid tested tbf because I don’t have any tests (and there’s no point). I feel so so ill but want to eat all the things.

I was starving with Covid. It’s a bit too early for flu too.

As others have said @Pixiedust1234 flu is just a virus like any other. 75% of people are asymptomatic with it ie 3 in 4 people with influenza have nary a symptom. The other 25% range from a mild sniffle to feeling awful.

Most of the time you'll never know which virus you actually have.

OP, if you're hungry, eat. Try and get some decent nutrients and balance to your diet and you'll likely feel better quicker.
