Exactly. The H1N1 was just brutal and I am sure made us more likely to get whatever else is going around. The 2nd part of it, the GI stuff, was really, really horrible. I pretty much didn't have anything except Gatorade for 10 days or so. I hate Gatorade, even the smell of it, so you know I'm really sick when it's all I want. I have only had semi-normal food in the last few days. I had something very similar last xmas and spent several days in the hospital and got tested for everything on the planet. Now that I think back, it had to be H1N1 because before the GI stuff I definitely had typical flu stuff but 10 times worse than normal. So, I just figured there was no reason to go to the hospital this time and go through all that again (some tests were extremely invasive) only to be told I have a virus.
I am sorry you had any kind of flu, it's the worst feeling. Like, I already thought everything hurt pretty bad, but it sure got MUCH worse. I am SOOOOOOO fatigued now. The good news is I have completed xmas shopping online and I will not have to enter a mall or store besides grocery! YAY!
