It sucks to be sick. I feel for you guys that are going through it, especially now.

I haven't had the flu for about 30 yrs, maybe because I get flu shots. But, I do get a cold every 2 or 3 years and it hits hard. In August I got what I thought was a cold, then my wife caught it. She developed a fever and her ear drum burst overnight, so we went to the doctor. Turns out, we had a mycoplasma bacterial infection. Mine lasted 7 weeks before antibiotics knocked it out. Some nasty stuff going around. I suspect state sponsored bacterial warfare. And, I blame it on obama.
