    How do I tell if this is flu or not.

    Slept all of Saturday Sunday and most of Monday away.
    Coughing up green stuff.
    Had a headache since Friday that eventually went today.
    Energy totally gone now starting to come back.

    Shut myself into a room so as to spare others in the house.

    Anybody else had the flu this season do my symptoms sound right?

    Forget the Doctor, make a will and accept your fate

    Have you found yourself saying crikey out of nowhere, had unexplainable cravings for shrimp on the barbie and are you flamin hot? If so it could be the dreaded flu from Oz.

    If it was flu you had, you wouldn't have been fit to start this thread or had the interest to even look at the internet.

    You wouldn't be on boards, or concerned at all about it or anything except getting better, if you had the flu. Sweating and hallucinations are comon symptoms.

    If you can type "Is it a flu?" then its a cold.

    It does sound like a bad one - I hope you're back in action soon. The flu can actually kill you.

    Could be a chest or lung infection if you are coughing up gunk.

    As above, if it was flu and you had locked yourself away you'd be dead by now and not care.

    Drink fluids, sleep.
