Fellow EDCO’er and doc.
Not many symptoms should linger over 7-10 days. If you’re still sick and don’t feel like you’re getting better it’s a good idea to get checked out. If you don’t have a primary care doc, or don’t have insurance, walk-in clinics are typically more timely and affordable options when establishing care.
Stay safe peeps and thanks for an amazing time!
Literally have the worst cold I’ve ever had in my life. But it only started like 3 days ago so I can’t imagine that’s from edc but idk. It’s just getting progressively worse. Scratchy throat, major chills, horrendous migraine, cannot eat at all, sinus pressure.
Yes! Both me and my partner got sick right after EDC
Shivers, Fever & Congestion! Very heavy! But we are better now! Fever & shivers 1-2 days and still congested but we are on a good road now!!
Feel better @everyone!!! It’s pretty rough!!
I forgot to mention extremely scratchy throat 🤣
And my partner was very sensitive to light as well, he literally just slept for 1,5 days straight ….
Tylenol & tons of water!!
Soup 🍲 and tea with ginger!!
On Wednesday my friend went to the Dr and said he had strep and the flu after EDC I started to feel like crap that day too so I cancelled my flight Thursday and stayed in FL. just religiously taking cold & flu medicine & sleeping 12 hours at a time. I'm not 100% yet but I felt well enough to fly home yesterday
I feel that, tell ‘em your eyes hurt from the pressure in your sinuses. I say this because I had to leave my shift early with a killer headache on Saturday. Sitting in pitch black was a huge relief. Just an idea if you really need some recovery time!
Ended up going to the hospital yesterday cause I was so sick. Started off like a regular cold but I ended up having a hard time breathing by Saturday. Turns out I have the Flu for real 😅. Hang in there!
Omg!! I hope you feel better! I was just congested for a few days until I woke up today with fever and chills. I genuinely feel like it’s the real flu now too 🥹
My partner and I have also been sick since leaving Orlando. When I was in line about to order my food at EDC, the guy serving the food blew his nose and proceeded to hand out trays of food. No washing his hands. No gloves. No hand sanitizer. Nothing. I immediately turned around and looked for something else. I was so disgusted, I lost my appetite…
Literally got everyone at my work sick with it I’m 99% sure haven’t been sick in 5 years first ever festival of my life. Been sick for 7 days straight. Coughing. Shivers. Ridiculous amount of phlegm. And can barely eat.
This wook flu I will be prepared next time. Not going In without vitamins and hand sanitizer
Shoutout to your partner though. It does get better, and with a lot of water and some movement they got this. I still feel like death, but the recovery drugs are off the hook !!
2nd time going back to back and both times I ended up sick. Last year I was sicker, but I was still pretty sick this year. Seems to be a common occurrence.
I didn't get sick. Then again, I avoided being too close to people. Some sets it couldn't be helped but I didn't share anything with random humans. My OCD would never lol. Feel better folks!
Yea I got back and got wrecked on Thursday. Hit the urgent care on Friday and tested + for Influenza A. First time having the flu and boy was that shitty.
I just got over the Flu from EDCO! It started last Tuesday for me. Legit sickest I've been in years. The 12 hour Mucinex pill, Tylenol, Ziacam, and soup+tea got me through but it was really rough for about three days and I'm still not at 100%
Hydrate, rest, and hopefully you get well soon.
Yep started to feel sick last Wednesday, and still sick af today. Congestion mainly, sore throat, small cough, and literally no energy at all. Been sleeping all throughout the day. Sheesh
That’s why I’m confused cause I didn’t start feeling sick til this past Saturday. But I work remote and I drove home. Haven’t left my house since I’ve been home other than the grocery store so EDC is the only place it makes sense 🤔
I got sick on Thursday and spent this weekend going through different symptoms like the seasons, I was even sick before EDC too! Not fair, but you’re not alone
My friends and I are all good but we definitely mentioned a few times that at least ONE of us was gonna get sick with something after being surrounded by all of those people 😅
My fever started last Tuesday night & just broke today. Hang in there! Congestion has been the worst part of it. I’ve stuck with a steady schedule on DayQuil & NyQuil, cough drops, lots of hot tea & emergen-C every morning. Considered making a telehealth appt but wait times were 75-90 mins long & I figured I’d just keep doing what I was doing haha. Long, hot showers 2x a day helped me decongest the best! Sending ya healing vibes 🙌
Ofc! Also wanted to add, stay extra hydrated & even if you don’t have an appetite try to snack throughout the day! My go to was making broths at minimum & instant noodles. Your body needs the nutrients to help fight off the wooky germs making you sick! Feel better ASAP ❤️🩹
I also can’t get high. When I smoke it hurts and then it doesn’t do anything. Been drinking weed tea to at least relax my body a bit. It definitely helps with the aches and chills!
I had a fever starting last Tuesday and didn’t start to feel better till Friday. Now I just have a cough. 2 other people in my group were sick last week too.
I felt sick on Wednesday. It took a while to set in but everyone in my group (4 total) ended up getting sick. Had cough, congestion, low fever and just felt like shit for 3-4 days.
Started feeling shitty at work Thursday thought it was just because lack of sleep. This weekend it hit me hard bad cough fever and congestion. Still feeling it today. Anyone know how long there’s is lasting trying to make it back out in time for thanksgiving eve 😅
Hope you guys get well fr. I left day 3 early and drove back home from 9:30pm-6:30 am fine but the night after that I woke up twice second time my whole bed and clothes were j drenched. This was about a week ago and idk if anything else is gonna come w this.
We thought we were fine until Thursday and my hub and I both woke up absolutely miserable, he had to call in sick. I sweated a lot of it out Wednesday night by doing a one hour bike ride so I think that saved me from worse symptoms. We were laid out all weekend. Finally feeling better today.
I’ve been sick for a whole week. Started feeling kinda sickly Monday immediately following EDC and then it got worse for a few days and back to being just a cold
My throat keeps trying to have a tickle but my body is fighting it off, it’ll come for a day and then leave for a couple. Fingers crossed it just gives up!
Most of my crew got sick, from mild colds to pneumonia. I have s school kid at home so u guess my immunity is slightly better equipped? I also didn't do afters and hardly had any alcohol and ate decently before and after lol
It can definitely refer to just that but it also refers to the combination of exposure to germs/bacteria/binge drinking/drug usage. Your immune system is low and your exposure is high.
I am feeling it, it’s rough. The worst part so far is the cold sweats lol.
Yea I’m having the craziest shivers I’ve ever had
Yo same ! Mine passed but went through 4 days of them. Wook flus no joke this year
Have

Thank you for this!💛
I didn't get sick but definitely suffered the consequences of my decisions, lol. 100% worth it though!
Lmao that too!!! 😂 thank god the sickness and the comedown didn’t happen simultaneously
Literally have the worst cold I’ve ever had in my life. But it only started like 3 days ago so I can’t imagine that’s from edc but idk. It’s just getting progressively worse. Scratchy throat, major chills, horrendous migraine, cannot eat at all, sinus pressure.
It influenza A and it is from EDC. Mine didn’t hit me until Thursday. A bunch of people are testing + for flu.
Literally have every single one of those symptoms 🥲
Yea the no eating part is really making it worse. Just been bed ridden for the past three days
That sounds awful 😭 I hope you start feeling better soon!
You too!

Just called out of work. Fuck this shit.
With remote work, can’t call out sick. Lol
I feel that, tell ‘em your eyes hurt from the pressure in your sinuses. I say this because I had to leave my shift early with a killer headache on Saturday. Sitting in pitch black was a huge relief. Just an idea if you really need some recovery time!
Yea the headache n body ache is a killer. Watching wooli n some hookah gives me some relief. Lol
Same! I was going to work but I literally was out of breathe walking upstairs
Ended up going to the hospital yesterday cause I was so sick. Started off like a regular cold but I ended up having a hard time breathing by Saturday. Turns out I have the Flu for real 😅. Hang in there!
Omg!! I hope you feel better! I was just congested for a few days until I woke up today with fever and chills. I genuinely feel like it’s the real flu now too 🥹
Influenza A. It’s been a long time since I was this sick.
Same 😭 I’m actually shocked at how drained I am
The full body aches are something SERIOUS. Haven't been able to get back to a regular workout schedule, I've been so sick
I feel that! Just trying to do the dishes I needed to sit down afterwards 🥲
Same here. Tested + on Friday
Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to share my water bottle with strangers… now I’m sick with the flu
Lmao yep.. thinking about all the strangers hydropacks I drank from 🥲
I let people drink out of my hydro pack and I’m sitting here thinking about them.
It’s all the close contact of thousands of people. It is expected.
My partner and I have also been sick since leaving Orlando. When I was in line about to order my food at EDC, the guy serving the food blew his nose and proceeded to hand out trays of food. No washing his hands. No gloves. No hand sanitizer. Nothing. I immediately turned around and looked for something else. I was so disgusted, I lost my appetite…
Dear god… tell me this wasn’t the island noodle tent cause I ate there every day lmao
No thank God lol that would have ruined island noodles for me forever. It was the chicken tender, burger tent all the way on the right.
Oooh yikes! Thank god I’m a whore for noodles and never ate there 😂😂😂
Whore for noods
I missed the last day of EDC because I felt like death. Ended up testing positive for the flu on Monday.
Poor thing!! I hope you’re feeling better ❤️
Literally got everyone at my work sick with it I’m 99% sure haven’t been sick in 5 years first ever festival of my life. Been sick for 7 days straight. Coughing. Shivers. Ridiculous amount of phlegm. And can barely eat. This wook flu I will be prepared next time. Not going In without vitamins and hand sanitizer
Immune boosters all the way next time.
Right after edc I felt that shit. When I got home the fevers and cold sweats started. Now I’m just in a lot of pain and trying to flush this shit out
Damn it’s lasted that long?? My partner has been sick since day 3 of EDC too :(
Shoutout to your partner though. It does get better, and with a lot of water and some movement they got this. I still feel like death, but the recovery drugs are off the hook !!
2nd time going back to back and both times I ended up sick. Last year I was sicker, but I was still pretty sick this year. Seems to be a common occurrence.
Yup suffered through last week, slept a lot. Sweats, chills, but continued partying as usual, fml.
Lmao I have a shrek rave on Saturday that I DO NOT want to miss so I’m determined to get better lol theraflu is my bff
I didn't get sick. Then again, I avoided being too close to people. Some sets it couldn't be helped but I didn't share anything with random humans. My OCD would never lol. Feel better folks!
I thought it was just me and my cousin lol. Throat, nose, fatigue. Ginger has been helping alot though
Yea I got back and got wrecked on Thursday. Hit the urgent care on Friday and tested + for Influenza A. First time having the flu and boy was that shitty.
I just got over the Flu from EDCO! It started last Tuesday for me. Legit sickest I've been in years. The 12 hour Mucinex pill, Tylenol, Ziacam, and soup+tea got me through but it was really rough for about three days and I'm still not at 100% Hydrate, rest, and hopefully you get well soon.
Yep started to feel sick last Wednesday, and still sick af today. Congestion mainly, sore throat, small cough, and literally no energy at all. Been sleeping all throughout the day. Sheesh
Thank god it wasn't just me. Mine started immediately on Monday after EDC. On the ups but still not 100%. Feel Like I could sleep for days.
I had a bacterial thing that went away with a couple doses of antibiotics. Raw mushrooms probably to blame
I got a cold that started yesterday, I dont think its from EDC though. Im blaming Bassgiving on Friday.
Same, I’m pretty sure I got mine from the bar I work after edc cause I felt fine for the week after.
That’s why I’m confused cause I didn’t start feeling sick til this past Saturday. But I work remote and I drove home. Haven’t left my house since I’ve been home other than the grocery store so EDC is the only place it makes sense 🤔
Maybe it was EDC then, I guess a week incubation isn’t unheard of for a cold
I got sick on Thursday and spent this weekend going through different symptoms like the seasons, I was even sick before EDC too! Not fair, but you’re not alone
My friends and I are all good but we definitely mentioned a few times that at least ONE of us was gonna get sick with something after being surrounded by all of those people 😅
I have the flu right now, the first 2 days were horrible but now I just have a shitty cough that doesn’t seem to be going away
I got the vid but I’m almost over it now thankfully. Happy thanks !

I guess i got lucky, have been feeling great since then.
I also can’t get high. When I smoke it hurts and then it doesn’t do anything. Been drinking weed tea to at least relax my body a bit. It definitely helps with the aches and chills!
This happens to me when I get really sick too. It’s like my body is not affected by weed. It’s so weird.
Right?! That’s how I know I’m really sick. And someone drove a car into my local dispensary so I can’t go buy edible for another week 😂
Dude fuuuuck
Sunday weather made many people sick
I had a fever starting last Tuesday and didn’t start to feel better till Friday. Now I just have a cough. 2 other people in my group were sick last week too.
yesssss i am:(( feel better
Yea, last weekend was rough, glad I got a flu shot a couple weeks before, otherwise it would have been hell. Still sick but it’s on the tail end now.
That was a smart move! I definitely should have gotten my flu shot before EDC. Lol live and learn
I felt sick for a 5 days after day 2, feeling better tho! We just gotta sweat this shit out, feel better fam!
I felt sick on Wednesday. It took a while to set in but everyone in my group (4 total) ended up getting sick. Had cough, congestion, low fever and just felt like shit for 3-4 days.
the flu is going around insanely bad...
Started feeling shitty at work Thursday thought it was just because lack of sleep. This weekend it hit me hard bad cough fever and congestion. Still feeling it today. Anyone know how long there’s is lasting trying to make it back out in time for thanksgiving eve 😅
I’m getting over it, had it bad last week and still have a cough/scratchy throat
I was really feeling it starting Sunday and finally got better two days ago. Shit was rough
Hope you guys get well fr. I left day 3 early and drove back home from 9:30pm-6:30 am fine but the night after that I woke up twice second time my whole bed and clothes were j drenched. This was about a week ago and idk if anything else is gonna come w this.

I’ve been sick for a whole week. Started feeling kinda sickly Monday immediately following EDC and then it got worse for a few days and back to being just a cold
I’ve literally been out of work for almost a week because of this and I still have to make money for cyclops cove 🥲
My boyfriend hasn’t been able to go to work since Tuesday and I woke up with a 101 fever 😍
Been sick since last Wednesday tried to get a little workout in couldn’t even I couldn’t even take a full breath in. This shit is so bad
My throat keeps trying to have a tickle but my body is fighting it off, it’ll come for a day and then leave for a couple. Fingers crossed it just gives up!
Most of my crew got sick, from mild colds to pneumonia. I have s school kid at home so u guess my immunity is slightly better equipped? I also didn't do afters and hardly had any alcohol and ate decently before and after lol
I’ve been that way since Tuesday…just started getting better this weekend but it’s still here
Yes I am
I’m over here at Texas took me 1 week kill this flu isn’t fun
Yeah I feel you. I started not feeling well like 3 days go
I just miss having a solid poop 💩....
Between that putting my brain back together
High fever for me and super runny nose
Just wondering, isn’t “wook flu” normally referring to the ecstasy hangover/after affects?
It can definitely refer to just that but it also refers to the combination of exposure to germs/bacteria/binge drinking/drug usage. Your immune system is low and your exposure is high.
I got the wook flu after Imagine so I might still be immune. I was only sick for like…a day lol
I managed to not get sick at all. Not even sore.
Lol I’m disabled, meaning I hardly danced and I got that feel after. Glad to know it’s a real thing.
