The reason you get a little sick feeling sometimes is because of the body going into "defense" mode against the virus. Most of the symptoms you feel with the "real" flu are really just these body defenses in action. But since the virus is dead, you don't get the full-blown effect. Cool. I knew it was something like that. Thanks Dr. Birdsfan!

October 22, 200817 yr Author Its looking like a 24-48 hr bug. The fevers are gone, now we are on to runny noses and coughs. Every once in a while they get run down and need to rest. But for the most part they are better.
