9 days into this now, still running a 101+ fever. Breathing is difficult- winded like you ran up two flights of steps, but it never stops. This shit is pure evil. Can't taste nothing, eating is like chewing on a sponge.

I have no health issues, I don't smoke and this thing has put me down like nothing I've ever had. Easily twice as bad as the normal flu.

I did not want the vaccine prior to getting this- but if I could go back and do it again, I would get it for sure. I'll probably still get it in month or so from now to really peak the antibodies prior to the holidays.

Be safe out there, especially if you have health issues or you are a smoker.
