I felt sick starting the 16th, started the GI symptoms/everything else lessening at the 22nd at 3am, and finally could hold food down again on Thanksgiving proper. Today I still have the physical fatigue / feeling like lead; managing the 2 flights of stairs to the kitchen means I stay downstairs for at least an hour to recover...and it feels like I'm still breathing shallowly/can't get a full breath. but otherwise I'm fine, no more cough or GI or fever.
If the flu vax lessened it at all after only ~10 days, which I hope it did some because the average time to full is 14 days, then I can't imagine what the real flu would be like raw. I suspect a higher fever, worse cough, and Everyone who can, please get your flu shot, because I wouldn't wish my case on anyone.
