I'll guess at in pain/hurting. I know someone who had that recently, mild flu symptoms followed. It's rare though. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I've been getting it for the last few years and this is the first time it's been sore.

I've never had the flu and from i've been told, it's a terrible thing.

Never had the flu, wow, at least you can't get the horrific man flu. :laughing:

I would ask how you qualify to have it, but if you don't want to say on here, no problem.

May I introduce the Torquinian word for bits of ash, dust and other stuff that you can see blowing around in the air? Smitch, as in 'It's a bit smitchy in there' when perhaps you have visited a derelict building. :smilin:
