Chin up. You’ll get over it. Rest, drink lots of fluids. If in doubt, put Pink Floyd on and chill :). Seriously though, sorry to hear, get well soon.

I feel for you pal!
Lots of people have it here too. This year seems particularity bad.

fwiw I stopped getting these Sept, Dec (beginning of school colds and flu's) when I started hydrating two weeks before Sept, and mid Dec Christmas, After Halloween when people get sick from all the "candy/ sugar" times.

Something about just after holidays is when all these nasty bugs hit cities. Also seasonal changes where people forget to drink water/ get rest seems to ramp up bugs which is what "they" call the "flu seasons". To me they are dehydration and sugar fest seasons.

Those who doubt me, drink tons of water before and around the flu seasons and if you are like me, you won't get sick nearly as often.

Works for me :)

I feel for you, Donny. It's some time since I had a serious bout of the flu, but I remember then wondering if i would ever recover. Stay in there, pal!

Hope you get better soon Donny...

me and Susie had it about a month ago. bad news is, it lasts about 2 weeks. hope you feel better soon.

that made me think of a funny moment. years ago there was a guy who told me and my band mate / best friend Frank, "My dream is to die on stage", to which Frank said, "Well, come on down to the club where we are playing Saturday night and we'll kill you!

It's been ages since I've been this sick ... like maybe over 20 years ago. Flu and cold season never really affected me; can't say why, it just didn't. I know how I got it this year, though... Alicia had it a few weeks ago - she's a physical therapist in a nursing home so there's probably no real mystery of how she got it. But this bout has really whacked me hard. I'm sure it'll pass. It's just frustrating because there are things I want to be doing (mixing, tracking) but my ears are so plugged up right now it would be futile.
I'm sure I'll get better. I'd just rather it be sooner than later.

My wife thinks people whom have traveled a lot are exposed to so much more and because of that, they are likely to have stronger immune systems. Could be why you don't catch flu's like me.
I still attest to water water water as "my" secret weapon to my healthier luck but I'm also in a dryer climate too. Never the less, I feel for you. Definitely a bad time when you are getting so much happening right now. You'll likely not be the only one in your group who get it next... Nothing worse than a sick musician singing with sore throats, awful! And recording or mixing... forget it.

i never used to get sick but in the past 4 years i got the flu 3 times. perhaps my immune system is getting weaker or perhaps the flues are getting more virulent.

when i was a kid i almost died from a bad case of blood poisoning. docs said another hour and it would have been over. spent 5 days in the hospital getting penicillin shots every 4 hours. after that, nothing could make me sick. i had the constitution of an ox but i think my immunity to the world is weakening. sucks to get old.

Chin up, Donny! No, wait... chin down! Chin up makes you dizzy, and it takes all your strength just to hold it level. Maybe you should just lie down for a couple more days.

Hang in there, bud.

And as I asked you earlier, don't go crawling over there and getting any germs on my nice clean tracks.

sounds like a title ....."Germs on the Tracks" ........ ha!

Don't worry...I'm not gonna get donny germs all over your precious little tracks. ;)
I haven't even been in my mix room in a week. Well, okay, one time I was in there, on Wednesday...I thought maybe I'd have a go at it but I just sat there. Never even opened the project files. Just stared at the desktop. Left the room and went straight to bed.

Sounds like one of them computer viruses.

Get well fast Donny ;), Its good that we can't catch it here in RO .(y)
There is a ripper flu and hay fever season in Australia atm.
