Is there a One-Hour Flu?

March 1, 2011

I’ve heard of the 24-hour flu, where you get sick and better again within a day. But is there such a thing as the one-hour flu? Because I swear I had it last night.

Craziest thing: Out of the blue at about 11:00 pm it hit me like a brick wall — aches all over my body, nasty headache, chills, and extreme fatigue. That’s all the stuff that the flu normally brings me. I was this close to calling it a night and going to sleep, but still had some stuff to finish. So I plugged along. I think I took some vitamin C. And about an hour later, I felt fine.

Bizarre. Whatever it was, I’m glad it went away that quickly.
