Even though this is the Lounge, it's a true story about the Flu.

The Butterfly Flu. About three years ago I went with the GF and her grandkids to a Butterfly house to see all of the wonderful butterflies and have them land on you and all of that.
I have essential tremors. Not terrible, just a little shake that I hardly notice most of the time. Well, after 10 minutes in there I started to notice them. Another 10 minutes they got very noticeable. We left and went to a restaurant and I really started to shake. I had to leave and go to the car. No fever, no pain, just shaking. She could see me from inside and came out and I was spastic, really just arms flying all over.
That's it, let go to the ER.
Was there for a few hours and they seemed to run every test known to man and were left scratching their heads and wrote down "Unknown Virus". I have named it the Butterfly Flu.
