Anyone else got the flu at the moment?

[Hi71934]

On Sunday night my throat started to hurt, but nothing too uncomfortable. By the time I woke up on Monday morning it had developed into a sore, chesty cough.

I went to work and started to feel a bit “off” as the day went by. My body ached slightly - for example my back felt like it was tingling. That night I woke up at 3am with a temperature and felt pretty crap. Took some paracetamol, eventually went back to sleep and woke up feeling slightly better - so I went to work.

I still felt off and my chesty cough was getting worse. I woke up again last night feeling feverish, and stayed at home today. I haven’t done anything except lie down / sleep or sit down. And I feel rubbish.

It’s not covid as I’ve tested 3 times.

Would you say this is flu? I’ve never had it before but this cough is horrible and I am constantly shivering or sweating 😔

I don't think it is true flu but I've got this. It's been 10 days and I'll still not better. It is crap. I hope you feel better soon

The temperature tells me it may be flu. That’s one of the key differences between flu and a cold.

Yes me, I've been shivering, sweating, felt like my head was going to explode. Burning behind my eyes, blocked ears. Today my ribs are hurting and I feel nausea can't seem to eat anything even though I'm hungry. I've been in bed for 2 days.
