I was dreadfully ill all day yesterday... completely out of action. And there is really nothing one can do about it... I'm just lucky it didn't fall on a filming day... I am doing three films this month!

Maybe there is a case to be made for flu shots (which I have never gotten).

Both DD and I got our flu shots at the "Minute Clinic" at our local CVS (NY). With no appointment, we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. It did NOT hurt. Can't say that this will go for all, but we had no problems or reactions. They accept a long list of insurance carriers.

All in all, a positive, recommended experience.

And, yes, the flu sucks! Hope you're feeling better soon.

On the plus side, I lost seven pounds in one day. Best diet plan ever.

Well, just for the record, there are several strains of the flu virus. They can last anywhere from 48 hours to several days and yes, sometimes weeks. Just depends which one you get. USC just had a huge flu outbreak, but for some, the symptoms seemed to be gone in a few days.

Hope you feel better soon, Iceman!

I tend to gain weight when I get the flu. I get even hungrier. I don't get the lower part, just the upper part.
