Woke up at 0400 couldn't go back to sleep
Took my daughter to school and then rushed to a meeting
By 1030 I couldn't stop shivering and it was a battle to keep my eyes open
Came home and went to bed
Now I can't get warm despite multiple layers

I'm the guy who's in a tshirt and sweating at 40

I haven't been sick like this go along while

Hope you get better soon UAF. It took me a week or so to get over that crap (got it 2 ish weeks back)

Lots of sleep and tea with honey and you'll be feeling a lot better in a few days.

Seems like there's a couple going around. I dodged the 3 week cold, and the week long flu, but got tagged by the 18 hour flu. Here's hoping that the one you have.

Wife caught that Wednesday and was over it in a day after wrapping up in a blanket to sweat.

My youngest and dad also caught that with the same results.

Seems to be a bad yr for colds/flu.

Yeah, it's been going around. Managed to dodge it, so far.

Stay hydrated... go crazy overboard: drink WATER, hot tea, lemonade, more water, aspirin, vitamin C, MORE WATER. lotsa of water.
rest, hydrate, repeat.
You will ( probably ) get through this.

This usually makes people feel better...I'm, pretty sure it is the honey and spices that do the trick..

8 ounces of really, REALLY hot water
1 large cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
juice from half a lemon (or a whole lemon if you prefer)
as much honey as you can get onto a tablespoon, then dissolve it in the water
4 or 5 ounces of bourbon, rum, or brandy or similar adult beverage of your choice

Take two aspirin or tylenol (not both) before drinking your "medicine".

It is important that the water be as hot as possible before you mix everything up. Add the booze last, and drink it while it is really hot, then go to bed. Everyone that has tried it said it helped... I'm gonna stick with my story that it the honey and spices together that do the trick.
