Do I Have the Flu?

The flu virus generally takes 1 to 3 days, after exposure, before the infected person starts showing symptoms.  The onset of the flu often seems sudden: people describe severe muscle aches and total body discomfort.  Common flu symptoms include sudden onset, fever and chills, cough, muscle and joint pain, headache, fatigue and weakness.  Some people also get a stuffy nose and sore throat.
