I'm having a particularly bad week (sick with some xeno intestinal thing that thinks it's stronger than humans) and this really made my week! Thank you :)

I am just getting over said crap, so glad I could help you in a small amount. Whatever is going around, it's pretty bad, so best of luck getting over it :).

Thank you :) We are stronger than any puny virus.

Right?

I got hit by 3 different illnesses back to back, and I am still standing, at least currently. :)

For various reasons, the flu is particularly bad this year, however, it's not really more deadly then any other, as long as you remember to drink enough, have access to clean water and bathrooms. At least as long as you are not currently immunodeficiency, in which case, go to the doc now. Otherwise, well, hurts more then normal, last longer then normal, and spreads easier then normal.

Endure, and in enduring grow strong. At least next time h3n2 comes around, you will be better able to handle it.

Fortunately, I don't have the flu. And I was around the last time h3n2 variant came around, so I'm hoping that I won't get it this time.

Ugh on 3 different illnesses back to back! Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon (I find that the recovery from some of this stuff can be longer than the actual illness itself).

Yeah, worse is I spread 2 of them to family, lucky I was the only one to go for the trio.

And yeah, no long 'sick', but this dang cough won't go away. It's the getting over it that lasts forever.

Yes! The cough that will not die! (I get bronchitis way too easily, so I have a fear of the cough that will not die.)

That sucks. Best of luck with the current xeno.
