Exactly. I have had the flu twice in my life. The first time my daughter was hospitalized for 4 days with it and I got it from her. I was 6 months pregnant and miserable.

Then I know I had it a few years ago. Once you have had the flu you just kind of know when you have it again. The flu is truly miserable. Like you said other than laying in bed and getting up to use the bathroom, you can't do anything else.
