What fresh hell is the nauseating flu strain this year?

started with DS, who ended up in hospital with a high temp and limp, suspected joint inflammation and confirmed flu A.

I was next, I was floored.. usual flu symptoms stuffy, burning chesty cough and high temp.

but it’s been nearly two weeks, and I’m left with an obscene amount of phlegm and a bit of a barking cough… but the nausea?! I have a terrible fear of being sick, I hate it more than anything and I seem to keep getting waves of feeling really nauseous. I thought it was just about over; and had a take away tonight and oh my god I regret it.

has anyone else had this horrific nausea lasting after flu.. how long until it stops?!

I had a lot of retching while I had the flu. Still feel a bit nauseous from time to time, 3 weeks later.

its awful. One minute I have my appetite back, the next I can’t even think about eating without feeling sick. Hopefully this doesn’t last too much longer!

That's been the pattern for me. It's getting better, but I'm finding that I no longer enjoy coffee the way I did.

I've been ill since 4th Jan. If you don't feel like you are getting better go to GP. I had a high temp. Ended up in hospital with pneumonia.
