I've definitely been very sick though in the past and would say I've had the flu.
Where I am from, everyone even doctors refer to the 24 hour stomach bug as the flu, which is nothing like a real flu. So everything things that that is what the shot is for.
I'm not discussing a 24 hour bug though. I'm talking 3-6 days of severe illness.
Respiratory?
Mostly, head and chest and breathing issues. Not to long ago I got past a head cold that turned into a lung thing. I had a cough for 3 weeks after. I didn't go to get checked out, but I probably should've.
Could be flu. Could be strep. I get strep constantly (but I know why and don't care.) LOL
STREP!! DID YOU SAY STREP???? Oh boy, be careful please!! Both of my boys just happen to inherit the gene that seems to allow Strep to inhabit their systems asymptomatically. Both ended up with Rheumatic fever (which is an autoimmune reaction to strep bacteria). The oldest only ended up with the rash. The youngest ended up with Sydenham's chorea. Two years later he is still suffering the tics. Do not mess around with strep. It has been a rough road.
They have to be on antibiotics until they are 21 or possibly the rest of their lives.

I get it three to four times a year, it's caused by my CPAP. I've gotten Scarlet Fever from it.

Oh, rheumatic fever comes from scarlet fever. So definitely a connection there.

@scottalanmiller Please be vigilant, it is no fun at all what it can do to you. Your immune system begins to think that heart valve tissue, joint tissue and parts of the brain (Basal Ganglia) are the enemy.

I know when I have it now and actually bother to take antibiotics. Didn't know that it could turn into scarlet fever and just tried to ride it out. Now I know to hop a plane to a reasonable country, buy some amoxicillin, and be done with it.
