Summer flu

Crap !
This has been a hell of a week . Just gettin over the Gout and 2AM this morning I wake up with the sweats ,stomach rollin around, and dizzy as hell along with the urgent need to run for the bathroom . I looked like a drunken sailor .
I guess I got a touch of the flu . I have had worst flu , but I really ain't got time for this now .

I thought flu was a winter thing ??

I have pretty much slept all morning and finally decided to try and sit up and have a couple pieces of toast to try and settle my stomach .

Why do people have such strange dreams and night mares when they are sick and trying to sleep ???

Yea .... my wife says the same thing . Women ! Can't live with em, can't live without em .

Wife took my blood pressuere and heart rate and that did not help any . She watches a lot of TV doctor shows and I think she may be taking her test to become a doctor soon .....

Man ! The only thing I hate more than a "Closed Minds" ,Is a Doctor or a hospital ....

bad allergies or sinus infection?
post nasal drainage can actually cause the list of symptoms you gave, and with all the smoke, etc... (plus stress) you've been living in for the past month, it may be that simple.
(especially since actual influenza does not include upset stomach as a symptom to go with the aches and high fever)

Actually the Flu left almost as fast as it came on .

I went to the Doc and he prescribed a neat little pill for me to take on a "As needed" basis . It works like a charm and lets me sleep when I am having trouble . I can be in a full blown attack and in about 20 minutes I can breath again and calm down .
I just arrived back to Ca. last night ,but I'll be leaving again on Tuesday to head back up to the ranch for a month or so . This past winter was pretty tough and there is lot of repairs to keep me busy .
