Here's a vid of a band member from Switchfoot passing out from the flu while onstage. I know this feeling very well; Since this flu grabbed me Friday, I've passed out twice during my Sunday organist gig and then once during the afternoon rehearsal for the university's musical. Last night I passed out while Tessa was waiting at Taco Bell for her fast food order. It's really creepy not being in control of one's own body...kinda like an out-of-body experience. One minute I was playing, the next minute I'm surrounded by people asking me if I'm OK. Anybody got any really good cures for this crud?

It is pretty radical; I saw a doctor on Saturday when I first knew I had the illness approaching and got meds (antibiotics + steroid shot); but didn’t rest on Sunday. My coughing spasms are so violent that I kinda stop breathing for a few seconds; that’s when I pass out. It scares me a little, but I’m feeling less fatigued today.

[...] think I’m some kind of superman, but I posted recently about my struggle with the flu. Last night I played a 3 hour rehearsal (from Hell) after working a particularly exhausting 10 [...]
