Of course they wouldn't call it the flu. It's not influenza. The flu only affects your respiratory system.
Maybe you mean "stomach flu"? No such thing, really. It's viral gastroenteritis.
I think every one of us knew what was being said.

And?

She said they aren't calling it the flu. I explained why. Problem?

I am. Sipping water. The ER gave me IV fluids too. I could feel the difference once those got in me. It was nice not feeling so dehydrated.
Do you have any ginger ale or ginger tea? Ginger is great for that.
You could steep some fresh ginger in boiling water and add some honey. It helps with the nausea and vomiting.

I don't have any of that. I have powdered ginger but not fresh. The Zofran is helping with the nausea.

Hot tea does sound good though. I have chamomile tea.

No, they wouldn't call it the flu. No self-respecting doctor would call it the flu, because it isn't the flu.

You're the one who's not getting it and you just want to b!tch.

Enjoy!

Why do you feel the need to correct other adults?

Does it make you feel better about yourself?

I didn't read it as snarky at all. Just informational. If you don't like what she posts, skip them. Easy enough and for easier for you to control than trying to control another poster's style or content.

It's not rocket surgery 😉

Ok. Enough. There is no reason to be rude to Lily, people. She felt what I said was clear and that's fine. Welts had a question and that's fine too. Welts' clarification was directed at me. I did not find it snarky. The snark towards Lily for expressing that she felt I was clear is unnecessary and childish.

Welts: The doctor just said it was a virus and not the flu. I assume by 'not the flu' that she was referring to the stomach flu. Whatever it is, my stomach seems normal this morning. The other end is under siege. It's not food poisoning. Thanks for the clarification on influenza.

Exactly. Telling a poster to ignore another if she doesn't like the posts is NOT childish. But telling someone they have a horrid life most certainly is. What were you reading? Seriously?!
