I have the flu. :[ It's awful. I've never really had the flu before. I thought it would be like a cold, but it's not. This is really painful.

I started getting symptoms on Thursday night... What do you think the chances are that I'll be better on Monday to take my Physics exam? (This is a question for someone who's had the flu this year.)

Oh yeah, I forgot: I got some antivirals today.

The flu usually last 3 days 7 days to the most.Try staying in bed, keep yourself wrapped in blankets, and use Vick's at night and try to drink plenty of Orange Juice.

There's a possibility.  
When I get the flu, it usually lasts anywhere from 3-7 days.  Try staying in bed, keep yourself wrapped in blankets, and use Vicks at night.  

Thanks.

Depends on how crap your immune system is.

I haven't had it this year, I know it varies, but really you're pretty much screwed, I'd say at least a week. I think I had it for almost 2.

the flu usually lasts upwards of 2 weeks.
good luck with that
