Thought i had covid again, certainly feels like it, actually worse, but 3 negative tests suggest not, so assumedly i have the flu, but have never felt so ill from cold/flu bug...fever, sweats, chills, shakes, headache, cough, sore throat massive sinus issues, earache, no appetite.
after 4 days in bed, which i still am only now am i feeling a bit better to post nonsense on here.
Never considered flu jab before due to me age, but next year will defo get it as this feel awful.
are these typical symptoms and is there nasty strain about at moment?

The experience in Australia has been that this season's flu virus is spreading very rapidly compared with the last couple of years when it's been supressed due to Covid precautions.

Loads of people mistake a bad cold for flu. When you've really got flu you know about it, you're laid up and incapable of anything. It's not a three day sofa, TV and biscuit fest.
Get flu jabbed if you can because flu kills thousand every winter and this winter is looking like a bad one.

When people say they’ve got the flu when they have a cold really gets my goat. I had it when I was 16 lots of symptoms but I remember my joints aching terribly awful thing.
My wife caught Beijing flu 30+ years ago there was nothing of her. Id go to work leaving her in bed and when I got home she had not moved. It was quite frightening really. She was off work for 3 weeks and went back to work on a Monday which floored her for the rest of the wee. So bar 1 day was off work a month.
Please call people out when they clam/misuse the term flu. It gives the wrong impression and when people get real flu employers expect them back in work in a few days.
Please get vaccinated it protects you and others.

I agree, I’ve referred to multiple bad colds in the past as ‘flu’. Then I got FLU 20 years ago. Unfortunately, my symptoms now mirror that previous experience.My wife caught Beijing flu 30+ years ago there was nothing of her.

t fest. Too many pain killers not doing great things on that front! And my fooked back isn't thanking me being marooned in spare bed on a crappy, too hot Emma mattress...never compromise on mattresses!Had it this week.
People say you know when you've got flu - if there was £50 in your front garden, you wouldn't get up and get it.
Day 1 was no pain, no sore throat, no headache or anything - just shivering and complete inability to move. Didn't eat/drink for 24 hours, lay in bed shaking, sweating , hallucinating etc - really thirsty but unable to get anything.
