Replying to The FLU

I don't know exactly if it's the Flu but man this shit seems to be spreading and knocking people down so fast here in Portland. Anyone else seeing this in their town right now? My whole house got it, I resisted for a good 10 days then it just destroyed me. The past 5 days has been miserable, extremely swollen glands, terrible sore throat, bad migraine headache, stiff neck, sharp stomach pains, diarrhea.... I want to go ski so bad, it's sunny, warm and beautiful outside and here I am suffering ............ went to the doc and basically there's nothing to do except stick it out, and do all the right things that we know we should do when we're sick. I am so impatient with sickness.........
