I have been ill since Saturday night. Well last night I did not sleep well because I woke up with a high fever--you know chills, aches and pains, sweating and hot dry mouth. Today I started coughing and decided to just run over to the University Health Center to see what they had to say and they tell me that I am one of about 6 students who had been in there in the past two days with the flu--already? I feel much better, haven taken some prescription strength decongestants. Everyone get your flu shots! Law students appear to be more germy than other people. Keep your a$$ at home if you are really sick, of course I say this but I know that I have to go in sickness and in health.

Oh no! the flu is awful.

what does everyone think about flu shots? I've only had one in my life (when my child was a baby). Since we're all out of the high risk categories, we don't get them. I always wonder if we should. (have only had the real actual flu once about 7 years ago that I an recall).

bsmartipants - do you have to get the flu shot since you've already had the flu? try to take care of yourself.

Good question. I only took one about three years ago at the request of my mother because my grandma had breast cancer and she did not want to further compromise her health. I wash my hands all of the time and never touch my face when hands are not clean, but the doc told me that, that only cuts your risk by about 15%, most people get it from a nearby peer coughing and sneezing into the air.

I take a flu shot every year, along with the old people. I work in a germ breeding gound:eek: , so I gotta take every precaution I can.
 
I'm taking my kids for their flu shots tomorrow. Sam has asthma and if she gets the flu it's bad news. I started getting the flu shot a few years ago. I don't get them during a shortage but I think I stay healthier and get sick less when I get one.

Glad you're feeling better BS!
