Ugh I've had a really nasty flu for the past couple of days. Full body aches, 38.5C fever, sore throat/headaches... I feel like shit. Anyone in Aus getting it? I haven't felt so sick in years.

That sucks, I hope you get better soon. While I've managed to avoid getting anything but alot of people have been talking about all the horrible cold and flus type things going around this year.

Thanks. It's weird because I had a mild one (no fever) only a month or so ago. That was like a two-week cold but this is a full on flu. If my fever doesn't break by tomorrow morning I'll go see a doc. Hope t's not Covid.

Can you get one of those home tests that does Covid / RSV / Influenza? So you'll at least know and / or get peace of mind if it comes up clear for all.

Last time I tried to buy a Covid test I tried about five pharmacies and then the next one told me they had thrown away all the tests because they'd expired, so you need a hospital/medical centre to test now. See how I feel tomoz.

I just ordered in chicken dumpling soup and it's making me feel better already.
 
Ah I hope you’re ok timmy! There was a hectic case of what appeared to be man flu recently, so many school dads were out of action for a few days but seemed the mums were ok. I think it was influenza a but I’m not sure why men took such a beating!

Thanks babe. Actually my fever broke several hours after I posted that yesterday, to my surprise. Today I'm feeling much better: down to body aches, a cough and runny nose, so a lot better than it was.

Oh that’s good! I feel like usually these things are only a few days at least, even if a few awful days. But it’s truly the worst to be so unwell.
