^ I had something exactly like that last week for about 7-8 days, missed three days of classes cause of it and i felt like it was the worst sickness i've ever had. it was the worst timing too cause it was midterms and midterm paper time and i did jack shit for an entire week cause i couldnt concentrate or move grr.
I had all of your symptoms too, just add in a vomiting and nausea  almost like everytime after i eat i felt nauseaus and threw up three times altogether. Saw the doctor and he said it was just a really bad flu
so thankful its gone now though

I pay fucking $40 a year for mandatory immuniziations and they havent notified us to go in and take them yet
I thought health care workers are getting them next week (second in priority after the pregant and the elderly?
Why are they giving it to the bums first??
If you have flu symptoms please stay at home! no one likes you spewing germs at work/classes/buses.

Worst case scenerio die and rot in the streets for a few hr before being clean up.

yikes 6-8 months... by that time the flu season will be over or you've already got the virus 
i got my shots at work last friday. it's mandatory because i work in healthcare and i've been trying since it was made available for the general staff last monday, but there was so much demand they kept closing the clinic before it was my turn in line
by friday evening i was feeling a bit hot... woke up saturday and my arms hurt, and then sunday i couldn't get out of bed at all. the advil they gave me took some edge off all the aching... and now i'm at work and i'm still sore

other cats , were in for a wipe out.
That will mutate and such. Eeek!
( apparently the cat is doing fine now ) http://vetmedicine.about.com/b/2009/...lu-in-iowa.htm
