Me too.

I tested positive for Type A Influenza on the afternoon of Tuesday, 2/13. A sore throat had me in the doctor's office the week before but medication didn't help and it was worsening that morning.

I got in one dose of Tamaflu that evening but my body shut down that night. At 3:00 AM I could not lift myself from the floor to the sofa and was dry heaving uncontrollably and shaking/shivering violently. I had my daughter dial 911 and paramedics took me to the ER. Oxygen was down to 90% so they kept me overnight.

Feeling lots better now and the IV's at the hospital were a godsend. Still, I've cleared my calendar through the weekend.

I work from home too and it didn't prevent me from getting sick. All it takes is a handshake or getting change from a cashier or touching the keypad at the gas station.
