There were some very vivid dreams that went with this flu and one regret I have is that I couldn't record any of them for you guys. Although some of them I might keep to my self.

Just as long as they are mental images. But, it does make one wonder how the Aborigines got their hand outline art first done. :shock: And who was brave enough to have their head in the way?

Colorful yes?

Actually Dan I think that is a still photo from "CSI Neanderthal". :)

What really bothers me about this illness is that I get over it and I'm fine for a couple of days and then it will spring back on me. Everything was fine when my wife and I left for the in-laws and when we finally got to my their house I was down for the count for about 15 hours. Couple of hours after that, I was fine with just a little congestion.

As of right now, I think I'm over it again for real. This bug was maddening...

Fast.

For a week. (or longer if you can hack it)

Let the body remove the toxin and restore itself.

JCOM, That is very sound advice but I have a philosophical question. Why is it that modern medical science hasn't been able to find a disease that you can treat with double cheeseburgers instead of chicken soup? :)

Wouldn't that be a hangover?

I've had cheeseburgers for the past 3 days and I actually feel better.

I'm glad you feel better and congratulations on a medical breakthrough that will serve mankind in perpetuity.

They will be talking about the "Fisk Cheeseburger Recovery Therapy" at NIH for years to come. :)
