Sounds more like the stomach flu to me. Drink lot of liquids....thing like Gatorade...that will help you from getting dehydrated. That might be why you are shaking. Popsicles tast good and help too.

I hope you feel better after you get a good night's sleep.

I've caught this before and I will feel terrible for a couple of days. I'm indulging in some ginger ale to calm my nausea.

Such a fun bug.

Wow ! That pretty much sucks :( Only good thing about the flu, is that it is usually a lot shorter lived than a cold, which could bug you with symptoms for weeks !

Get well soon :)

It does sound like the flu. It is going around here in Las Vegas.

It's no fun at all....
Today I'm left with ribs that feel broken and pulled muscles everywhere.

What's so bad is I've also caught a coughing virus from my father. Everytime I cough my ribs feel broken.

I can't stand pain! Ugh!

Sorry, Joy! That's just miserable.

Hopefully, before you know it, it will be just one more of those nasty episodes you can't remember too clearly :)

I hope you feel better soon. I have had pleurisy last week and this week so I totally get the coughing thing. Stomach problems are awful. Sending healing energy.

I just learned a new life lesson. Do not, I repeat, do not rub bengay on your ribcage in the front! The "girls" will trap the "heat" and make you burn like a four alarm fire! O-U-C-H! LOL!
