I have the flu. I was out two days; this is my first day back this week. This thing seems to be cutting across the country like wild fire. I hope my jaw doesn't suck too.

i never went to the doctor.. but i was in bed for 4 days with a 102 temp..
and about 5 people i know said they were told they had some strain of
influenza.. it was terrible.. i hadn't been that sick since i was in grade school..

and the jaw? yeah.. no idea.. it's terrible.. it's right by my right ear where the
jaw meets the top of the skull..

Not to scare you omaha but I'd get that checked out ASAP. Pain in your jaw is one of the signs of a heart attack.

I had the fever and aches. Now my throat feels like somebody went to town on it with a sander, I have a cough (terrible combo) and a runny nose.

Didn't realize it was ongoing! Do you clench your teeth at night when you sleep. That could be the cause. Could also be an abcessed tooth.
