-- Posted by Disposition at 1:19 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 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. -- Posted by GoodFairy13 at 1:19 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 Forever! -- Posted by marshmellowman at 1:19 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 It'll probably be about a week. -- Posted by bravosquadsas at 1:20 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 the flu usually lasts upwards of 2 weeks. good luck with that -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 1:20 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 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.   -- Posted by princess timz at 1:20 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 Depends on how crap your immune system is. -- Posted by RubberTrees at 1:21 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 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.   -- Posted by Disposition at 1:23 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 Quote: from RubberTrees at 4:21 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 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. -- Posted by Desertfoxel at 1:23 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 ALWAYS STAY WARM! stay right above 100 degrees -- Posted by The Stranger at 1:24 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 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. -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 at 12:42 am on Dec. 15, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 9:19 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 It'll probably be about a week. ^This.
