Doc says it's type a flu. I think a truck ran over me. Worst part is that it ruined a trip to Vegas.
Are you under quarantine?? I had a friend catch Flu type A and they put her under quarantine for it. That type supposedly can ause pandemics and animals can supposedly get it.
There are many strains of flu, most of which fall under A or B. Not telling without extensive testing which ones people have other than the A or B. The H1N1 a few years ago was an A, I think, last year it seems like we saw a lot of B. This year, I am seeing ONLY A, haven't run across a B yet. Even a number of people who got their flu shot are turning up positive, just because this particular sub-type of A wasn't apparently in the vaccine. **** happens. 
Yes it sucks. Is it the end of the world? Nope... Type A, Type B... 50/50 and both seem about the same to me in severity.
No worries... chicken soup, Tylenol and lots and lots of rest.
Good luck, man.

Just got over that myself. It suuuuuuccccckkkkkeeeeed!! First time inve ever had the actual flu virus. I don't want it again that's fore sure.
No quarantine. There are lots of strains that fall into type a. The year it's not as nasty as in past years...not like swine or bird flu. Rest. Fluids and tamiflu.
Flu B seems to be causing less severe symptoms than Flu A. I had Flu B and besides the fever and bodyaches on day 1, after Tamiflu it was pretty much like having a bad cold. Done and over with it within 3 days.
Sorry that you are feeling bad, but it is probably saving you a LOT of money by missing Vegas.
Look on the bright side.

I'm dealing with it now, but it's slacking off due to Tamiflu and liquids (lots of 'em!). I even took the flu shot offered at work, didn't help! This flu isn't as rough as the flu I got my junior year of high school. Thought I was going to die then, and my younger sister had it worse than me.
