Heeey same! Aside from my daily sneezing because of the pets (allergic rhinitis), there were couple of times that I felt sick like flu. Both of the symptoms can be very similar to me but if it has any additional ones then that's when I know I am sick for real. I am currently having a hair shedding and it worried me to the point that I got stressed cos of it too but thankfully it is slowly subsiding. It may have been that I got sick from covid again (and they're saying it's back or maybe it really didn't go away) and it caused the hair shedding but at least it wasn't that bad for me.

I hope you get better soon as getting flu is so annoying and hard as well. You got those fur babies to keep you company and they are cheering you on for sure! Lol
