It probably is just a cold. I have probably never gotten a flu all my life, not that I would know since I was never tested for it. The line between cold and flu is very blurry and it doesn't really matter what it is. Same symptoms, same bullshit.

hmm, I'd say if you're barely capable of getting out of bed, your stomach hurts and you're puking then you've got the flu.
If you're capable of being a normal functioning person, but don't want to because you feel like crap, you've got a cold.

^ this 100%.

Theres no "blurry line" between a cold and a flu.

A bad case of influenza, is spending a week in bed, with fever, the shakes, barely able to drink water and keep it down (vomiting most of it back up), no appitate (or able to eat and keep it down), diarrea, headaches ect.

While a common cold is like a occasional sneeze/caugh only. Things that dont even prevent you from going to school/work, or haveing a normal life.
Influenze atleast means bed ridden, imo.

They are two vastly differnt things.
