Fucking flu [View all]

I caught the flu on November 4th. Laid me out . Tested and is not Covid. Today is the 28th and here I am, my throat burning,nose running ,coughing up my lungs, fucking tired as hell,fatigued,feels like a fever but it isnt. This flu has lingered,and lingered,and lingered more,and lingered around a fuckload..

Around Thanksgiving I thought it was all over.

Boy was I wrong,I am miserable today like how it was in early November.

Is this normal?

Does this warrant a doctors appointment?
