Oh my god, I'm just getting over round 2.

I started getting sick on the Friday before NYE. I had pounding headache and a lot of aches and pains combined with chills and cold sweats (i.e. regular flu) for three days.

Then felt a lot better on NYE and outside of the hangover, felt great on New Years Day but then on the Wednesday I woke up with a sore throat and a terrible cough that got worse and worse until I woke up on Friday and the throat was so painful that I decided I wouldn't go into work and go to Urgent Care instead. That day I slept in until about 1pm with the full intention of actually going to Urgent Care but when I woke up, the sore throat was gone, so instead I just rested all day.

I still have a terrible cough that constantly wakes me up but the other symptoms are gone and since I never got a real fever and I don't have any wheezing I'm pretty sure I just have a bad case of Bronchitis left to get over.

Almost all of my close family friends got this flu as we all celebrated x-mas and nye together. My mom, dad and sister were both hit a lot harder then I was. At one point my dad was hooked up to an IV at Urgent Care.

Definitely a nasty case going around. Not overly intense but the fact that it makes you feel like you're over it is the worst part.
