[Poll #1089721]

I ask because one of my patients was surprised when I said I never, in fact, have been struck down by influenza. It can't be *that* common, otherwise we'd label it "the common flu" like we toss around "the common cold", no?

ETA - The CDC website on the flu versus cold symptoms.

Sweet LORD. I think the flu is more fever, muscle ache, etc. But man, sucks for you. :(
