I can remember many,many years ago asking my Dr what the difference was between a cold and flu.
His response-if you have a cold and win the lottery you will be jumping for joy, if you win the lottery and you have flu you will not care less that you have won :D
Last christmas 3 of us went down with flu and I now know what he means, not that we won the lottery but christmas was a non event.
Hope you feeling better soon
