[chipsy]

I had this same illness (in SF). Last week around this time I was feverish, sore, and mostly incapacitated, but it broke relatively quickly for me - within two days. I didn't do anything more than my usual to treat it(keep up the vitamins, stay rested, eat and drink enough), but it was really strong and I was definitely thinking about at least taking some aspirin to get the pain down.

I'm not sure being vaccinated would have helped with this one, my parents got the seasonal flu shot and they came down with the same bug before I did.
