Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2985117, member: 93"] I’m curious, too! I thought I would feel better yesterday and I didn’t, so I’m missing work today, which is an extreme rarity for me. I woke up today feeling better than I did yesterday, but still symptomatic enough with body aches and congestion to give me pause. My wife is not big on sympathy for sick family members, especially me. But because of the quarantine she has grudgingly catered much more than would otherwise be the case. I didn’t treat the syptoms at all on day one, except for ibuprofen every six hours, which definitely helped. The congestion kept me from sleeping much that night so yesterday I started taking Sudafed and Afrin, which also definitely helped—and I slept much better last night. I just don’t want to be fooled by the symptoms lessening now that I am treating them, because I don’t know how much of my improvement is attributable to that as opposed to the flu clearing. My secretary, who also got the flu shot, got the flu two weeks later and she’s been freaking me out a bit with her warnings because she said she got fooled into thinking she was better and then it moved into her lungs and she ended up being treated with antibiotics and it lasted some 2 1/2 weeks from onset until she was done with it. I am praying that she developed something different while she had the flu, because that would really bum me out and screw up a lot of plans. [/QUOTE]
