We walked all day in the rain on Saturday so that probably didnt help.

I'd happily trade in this clean bill of health for more G2 action!

G2 for life!

WOW shocked to see all the sick comments from the concert. Started feeling under the weather sunday but did the Eastern State Penitentiary before heading home. Then for two days High Fever, random dizziness, burning eyes, phlegm and what felt like a 50lb weight on my chest whenever i took a breath. Still having the breathing issue but all else seems to be getting better. Philly Phlegm is vicious.

yup i got it as well...
Hit me hard and fast after philly was over and now on tamiflu. Feeling like crap although possible a little better this evening (fingers crossed going into the night). crazy how so many of us have come down with it or some sort of illness. Though as someone pointed out, ~18000 peeps will definitely expose us and 90% of the flu going around now is h1n1. Though it's odd cause usually takes 4-7 days for symptoms to show up. Perhaps it was the days of partying and screaming and having an utter blast that wore us down a bit. some peeps on facebook are calling it pearl jam plague.

I'd do it all again as well:)
get well everyone.

yeah thats weird!! i was thinking the same thing, cuz i literally started feeling sick right after the fourth show..Felt great during all the others.. maybe hanging out in the chilly rain made it incubate way faster? Plus im sure all the physical exhaustion we endured from the show made it way easier for viruses to sneak in.. Im hoping that by tomorrow i'll feel back to normal again.. Warm thoughts , tea and soup to you all. Feel better

I smoked multiple joints and sat next to someone who had the swine flu during night 2. I don't know how I'm not sick but I won't complain. Sorry to all the people who got H1N1

i think it's more along the lines that with the physical exhaustion etc., perhaps it somewhat impaired our immune defenses, allowing us to perhaps develop symptoms faster than usual. i'm in health care so i assumed i got it from work last week and it happened to show up after the philly shows. I too felt perfect in philly during the fun. So yah either a giant coincidence or the tiring alcohol late night filled week of awesome tipped us over. I'm gonna just say that my immune system was too busy rocking out to PJ

My poor wife was just getting over being sick last monday and then Philly happened. She now is sicker than she was last week, but she would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I got the Pearls before swine flu !!! My head feels like a Macy's parade float !!

Just got off the phone with a friend who is also very sick and confirmed that 2 more people that were in Philly have swine flu now. Take care everybody and hope you all get well.

during night 4, my body told me it had enough, and by the time we got to the Eagle/Giants game, I knew I was in trouble!! I haven't had a cold this bad in years :-(

:( I'm sorry you are so sick... Mike is really sick too, he has been feeling miserable since Sunday.

I find it very humorous that there is a thread for this. I woke up sunday am with a horrible sore throat- attributed it to the massive amounts of screaming 2 nights in a row. Then, driving home from Milwaukee, it hit me hard! I was almost certain that I was the flu. Went to the dr. yesturday, said it was just a cold. But, I won't complain about another 2 days off of work to help recuperate...

I woke up Sunday morning with a bit of a fever. I figured I was just hung over, but I knew I felt strange. It got worse and worse until I finally dragged my as into the doctor. I do indeed have H1N1. I currentlly have 104 temp. Pretty crazy that this was rampant in the arena.

I thought I would never forget the night because of "Bugs", but I now know I will never forget the night because of the bug I caught.

actually, I think a concert is a prime place to spread it. it can be caught if someone infected near you coughs or sneezes...also, think of the handrails, doors etc that got touched during the show. This isn't that much different from the flu spreading through the schools...could be possibly worse.

Aches, cold, cough and lack of appetite. I don't think it's h1n1 though, just a bad cold probably from exhaustion and walking around in the rain for much of Saturday.
