A Hard Lesson In Health Problem Communication. Had some serious symptoms that took me to the emergency room, but things did not end as I thought they might. I hopefully learned a rather expensive lesson.

Per the CDC's website:
"Your respiratory illness might be influenza (flu) if you have fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and/or fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children. People may be sick with flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Flu viruses usually cause the most illness during the colder months of the year. However, flu can also occur outside of the typical flu season. In addition, other viruses can also cause respiratory illness similar to flu."
The Mayo Clinic also has similar information.
