influenza
"Mid February, I had a sore throat & cough that would not go away.  Developed into 102 degree fever and I went to the doctor and did the swab and was told I had the flu.  Took Tamiflu and an antifreeze color cough syrup and felt noticeably better on day two after beginning with meds.  Stayed home for a total of 5 days without leaving the house and my energy level didn't come back to normal for a couple of weeks, but I eventually got over it.   Now, I've got a head cold with all the discomforts of that, but not nearly as bad as a month ago.  Hoping this Z-Pack kicks this cold to the curb!"
