OMG, I woke up feeling fine this morning, ran a good distance after my daughter opened her gifts. I started feeling bad cleaning up lunch, took a bath to try to warm up. Went to bed. May have slept or just laid here. Stupid forehead scan thermometer had temperature readings over a degree off. I don’t have a digital thermometer so went back to the glass one under the tongue 3 min, 100.2F. My temperature is usually in the 98s, I don’t run hot. I ache behind the eyes a ton, have a sore throat, fatigue, body aches, just generally miserable, feel like I have fever. Took 2 Tylenol around 4 PM. I did get the flu shot but heard the effectiveness was around 50% this season. Not sure whether to go to urgent care or wait on the regular doctor tomorrow. Both are bound to be busy and germ-ridden. I think Tamiflu only shaves a couple days off recovery at most. I will monitor my temperature and judge based on that. About half the people at my extended family Christmas Saturday ended up with sinus infections (pleasant temp outside but super windy, and I was outdoors a lot). But all 3 of my nieces there got the flu.
