I felt it coming on, yesterday morning. I had it last year at this time, and in 2002. I get tired, and achy. My head hurts. Sometimes my throat hurts. It was worst in 2002. Last year and this year so far, have not been too bad. Except that the new twist this year is needing the toilet a lot. I hope this illness doesn't last a full week like it usually does - Christmas is only in four days.
