I have had a slight sniffle for the past three weeks, does that count?

Just a little 'bunged up', a lot of sneezing, nothing else.

Mmm. had almost everything all over the winter, but never bad enough to
completely stop me.

Benefit of flu jabs I guess.

Are you a horse?

Anyone had flu this year after having the flue jab? I did have flue last
year, so decided to have the jab this time round.

Did you have the vaccine?

I've only had real flu once, when I was a child.
Last 2 winters, I got vaccinated.

Flu??????

So, you were as weak as a kitten, barely able to get out of
bed to go to the loo?

Or did you just have the bad cold that many people have had -
including me?

My wife had it too - started just after Christmas. I got the
blame for giving it to her, of course, because I went down
with it a day earlier!

In her case, though, it really lingered and she's only just
got over it.

I had the flu back in the 50s, so I do know how to tell the
difference.

I did just before xmas, a sore throat for a few hours, then a bad cold for 4-5 days, then a cough and a bit of sneezing for the following 3 weeks annoying but I was still able to do most things without a probem.
Quite a few friends had it too but effected them differnty but all said they had something for about 1 month or so.

I boldley flew where I had flu'd before is how I saw it.

IMHO you'd be dead if you'd have full blow flu for three weeks. It
might take you three weeks to start feeling almost back to normal but
that's just recovery time not flu.

Flu is nasty, as some one else has said barely able to get out of bed
to go to the loo. Or not being able to collect a free £50 note that
is on the kitchen table and all you have to do is go down and pick it
up.

The vast majority of people who say they have had flu but are back to
normal in around a week have just had a common cold. There does seem
to be some low level upper respitory tract infection about. I've had
a bit of a tickly cough for a month or so that started with a bad but
productive cough. Probably some virus that my immune system can't
quite get a handle on.

Quite agree. I've had sore throat sneezing coughing fits due to catarrh
sporadically for over 2 weeks. A cold as far as I am concerned.

I had a flu jab in November but just after the new year I was laid up
with a bad cold that lasted around 2.5 weeks. 3 days in a row I got up,
felt so bad that after an hour went back to bed and stayed there all
day. One day I couldn't stop sneezing and throughout a cough. I know
quite a few people who had the same symptoms.

I'll vouch for the severity of real flu. I was in bed with it when my young stepdaughter told me that a pikey was stealing a large radiator that I removed for a re-plastering job and left propped against the side wall of our house (not in full view). All I could do was tell her: get his reg number.

I'd normally be well up for some argy-bargy with a scoundrel like that. I just could not rise from bed.

No - til then I had not really had it as an adult, so had not bothered!

I've only had real flu once, when I was a child.

Yup I remember having it a couple of times as a kid, and being pretty
rough for a week or so.

I didn't bother with a flu jab, but had to go to funeral up in
Cumbria last week. Always a bad time to travel public transport,
and lo-and-behold, half way through the 2.5 hour Euston to
Lancaster leg a bloke on the other side of the carrige had
a massive coughing, spluttering episode for at least 15 minutes.

Too late for me to move and avoid him.

Exactly one week later I had a similar episode, with a bit
of shivering for about a couple of hours, so I'm not sure if this
was actual flu or just a bloody awful cold. I was hot and sweaty
for the next three days with a nasty headache and feeling of
nausea.

I think I will buy one of those face masks that LOndon cyclists
wear, if I have to make a journey like that again during the flu
season.

When she got back to work she found that one of the kids she taught was
