**** me. I get sick every winter probably two times. My son's flu symptoms were a wicked terrible cough, body soreness, painful congestion and a fever. He said it was about the sickest he's ever been. He's almost 17. Lasted about 5-7 days for him. I have all of the above but it's not too bad, only about a 5 on the scale. 10 being about 10 years ago when I had double pneumonia before realizing my breathing was gurgling and going to the doctor. Almost got hospitalized on that one. My daughter has symptoms but she's really not feeling too bad. I think the flu shots are helping us. Oh and my wife doesn't have it yet. She seems to be the healthiest so maybe she won't.
