Wednesday I was not feeling so well. Just had some just general "not feeling right" at first.
I had a college class after work but ended up skipping that because my throat had started hurting.
I went home (around 430pm) and went to bed. I slept until 6 pm just to call a friend and tell him I was not coming to class and then returned to sleep.
At this time my throat was still hurting and the pain was starting to spread to my ears.
I woke up the next morning at 445 am feeling somewhat relieved.
On my way to work my back started aching with renewed pain as described earlier.
I went to another class after work and returned home to sleep for around 2 hours.
I then went and did santa runs ( I am a FF/EMT) out in the cold, probably not the best idea lol.
Came home and slept till 11 am feeling much better. Went to the firehouse and ran a few calls. Starting feeling bad after that again.
Home now.
I dont know if this is contagious but my girlfriend is having sever family issues right now and going to her grandams.
She really needs me right now and I need to see her. But I dont know if i should.
Any advice here?
Recap.
Sore throat, no swollen glands at any point. Spreading to ear pain.
I have gotten plenty of rest and fluids.
Now an upset stomach with hot and cold flashes.
Thank you.

Flu usually doesn’t last more than 3-4 days, but the fact that this much after it stated you have new symptoms, upset stomach and hot and cold flashes, seems to tell that you still aren’t completely out of it. It’s a common thing for all the flu symptoms to get better in the morning and get worse and worse as the evening comes. Have you measured your body temperature? When you have bacterial infection (from what you wrote that doesn’t seem to be the case) you have very high fever from the start, flu usually comes with lower, but persistent fever. You should get some vitamin C and take some anti-flu medicine like acetaminophen for pain or possible fever. And if it’s really important you should see your girlfriend and help her, but avoid close contact with her, at least that one time.
