How many of you can truly, hand on heart, say you think you've had flu? I thought it was a myth tbh (well not really lol but I thought it was super rare). However I think I've had the flu for the last week or so. Never felt so ill in all my life! If there was £1000 lying across from my bed I wouldn't have been interested in trying to pick it up...

Interested to hear from others as now I'm fascinated!

Twice- thought I was dying the first time. Couldn’t believe I could feel so ill. Was in bed both times for well over a week and felt rubbish for several weeks after that.

Three quarters of people who have flu don't even know it. It can be completely mild for those who do have it. When I had swine flu, it was like a mild sniffle.

You wouldn't necessarily know a viral infection was influenza.
