I've had flu-like symptoms all day, all of my joints ache and I just generally feel crappy. My boobs seem fine though, so far. Temp is 100.3, altho 20 minutes ago it said 99.8 so I might have a shoddy thermometer.
What was your experience?

Morgan, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post on FB. I hope one of the girls can help you. I know Carollyn had it. Maybe you can text her. Definitely don't mess around, b/c I know it can get really bad really fast. Can you feel a plugged duct or see any streaking at all? GL, & keep us posted!
The first symptom for me was a reallllllly hot spot in my boob. Then I started feeling crappy amd suddenly I felt like complete sh!t, my teta became "caked" and my pain level wentfrom 0-8 by the time I got to the doctor's office. If you think you have it, call your doc ASAP. My symptoms went from none to major in Like 3 hours. Kim had it too - she could help more, I bet because she's had it more than once.
I think it might have been dehydration. I've had 60oz of water in the past 3 hours and I'm feeling much better. I'm going to keep an eye on my temp and watch for other symptoms though. It's 98.7 now so hopefully I'll continue to feel better.

I've had it 2-3 times but I only had meds once for it. It started out with the pain in the breast, and developed into the flu-like symptoms. I hope it is something else for your sake!
My symptoms were like Christina's. I had a little lump in my breast that felt warm. Then in the course of a couple of hours I felt like SHITT. I felt like I had the worse flu ever and my temp spiked up to 103.5 DH had to pick me up and throw me in the shower. Hopefully you just were a little dehydrated.
Looks like you got things figured out, but yes I had it once too. It started as a pain in my boob that got worse over a couple hours and then I had full blown flu symptoms.
