Not sure if it was the same thing or not. Years ago I was sick with some type of flu bug. Got dehydrated so bad had to get some type of shot just to help. I was so weak that I couldn't even hold my now 22yo when he was a baby. Thankfully Mom and Dad took the babies. Since then I've never had anything like it or even close to it again. It was similar to the Asian flu from the 50's that I had. Hope that you are feeling better soon. :D
