Do you have any flu bugs going around where you are?

It's said to be very bad here in Ohio and in my county but it hasn't affected me. I haven't had the flu in about 18 years! Never had a flu shot, either. I think I'm one of the lucky ones who is resistant to most strains, because I've been around a lot of people with the flu and it hasn't bothered me.

I have not had it, but my sons and my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter plus my younger son's fiance have had it. My husband and I got the flu shots, I do not want to get the flu because I am a horrible person to live with if I got sick. And it has been quite bad with my friends. Most of the children were out of school because of the flu in our school here in Winnipeg, Manitoba and it seems to have lingered on a little more then usual.

Hi, spalladino! I am sure that it is going around as of now in South Carolina. My hubbie had the flu about two weeks ago. He was so sick, he could not do anything for himself! So, yes it may be still going around here. I don't know that many people that may have it as of now. But, I do know that it could very well be going around. Having the flu is the pits! I hate to be sick and I hate to see others sick as well! I would not be surpried if someone has it bad in South Carolina let alone anywhere else.. I hope that you all will feel better really soon! Take care of yourself!

Our flu season is about over. We get it usually really bad right around the holidays. After that we get a hard freeze and it kills or at least knocks down the viruses. Hope everyone starts feeling better soon!

yes,, I had it in February,, got better after 5 days,, It was sooooooooooooooooo bad,,I normally take hot and fresh meals,as a habit,, also I like a lot of water,, not cold water,,so I believe I don't suffer too much,, although the runny nose might stay for 4 days,,enjoy the flu,,,,,,still keep smiling u all, u cant hide,,

There is a stomach bug going around my family here in New York!!! And its not just 24 hour bug.. Mine lasted about a week. And it was passed to everyone in my family. Hopefully it doesnt come back around for a long time. What a miserable feeling.. My friend lives in Georgia and the flu has hit everyone in her family as well. I guess every area has there own problems

I talked to my Dad in Missouri today and he and his lady have both had a severe case of the stomach flu. They've been sick about a week now. I haven't heard of any flu going around here in south Texas, but I do know today I felt pretty sick to my stomach and my chest feels congested. This isn't a good thing since I have breathing issues. I'll have to try not and let it get too bad. Hope your family feels better soon.

Not yet and I think I am on the other side of the globe so, I don't think that the flu virus would fly from there to here in my place. LOL! Jokes apart! It can be temporary. With the vaccination people will be find soon!

Yeah there is some kind of bug going around where I live and both me and my girlfriend have been sick in the past couple of days. I think we got colds though and not flus but still either way they're not all that fun. Winter seems to be kind of coming to a close here though so hopefully we won't really have to worry about being sick for too much longer.

So far so good, but I won't say that too loud, don't want to let it hear that it hasn't hit us yet. I really hate getting sick. So hopefully it will just steer clear. Hope you all feel better real soon. Hugs MaryLynn

I also live in south florida. Im my household i was the first one to get it. Then i must have gave it to my mom which she got it saturday and she still feels really bad and shes been going in late to work and coming home early. Then i gave it to my boyfriend and he missed work on tuesday and wednesday and today he went to work and so we will see how he iw feeling when he gets home. I know he doesnt sound good at all and he is coughing really bad and blowing out some yellow flem but like my mom says better out then in. Hope everyong will start feeling better soon.

We have it here. I had it a few weeks ago and it lasted about 2 weeks for me. It was horrible! My head hurt so much. My daughter has it off and on now and she has had it for about 2-3 weeks now. it doesnt seem as bad for her. My 7 year old son started complaining about his stomach hurting while he was at school yesterday and last night he was complaining he didnt feel good. Luckily my husband hasnt gotten it. He doesnt get sick too often. Some of our neighbors around here have it now.

Im in Florida too...Tampa. We ahve it over here. It doesnt seem to wanna leave. I had it for about 2 weeks. I didnt even get up for 3 days to take the kids to school or anything. I was miserable. My head was the worst. My daughter has it now off and on, doesnt seem to be as bad with her. A few of my neighbors around here have it now too. knock on wood its leaves our house and stays gone.

The flu is running rampant here in the Northeast, even in early spring. I am shocked by how many people I know have it. I went to a wedding this past weekend and 24 people at the wedding (including myself) came down with the flu. I haven't been this sick in a while and I am just starting to get over it now.
