it's cold and flu season..... yay

[eldubb440]

who's got it? just getting over it myself ........ thank God it's nothing like the plague that ravaged the household last year; that was certainly an attention getter

just before I read your post... I put my mask on. It prevents me from getting germs from the internet.

Had it 2 weeks ago.. Went through our whole household. My wife brought it home from school on Friday by Sunday we were all sick. Took a few days to beat it. Still coughing up stuff but feel fine otherwise.

I did my month with RSV, or some similar plague, the entire month of January... I'd better be done. But watching 2 Granddaughters that are seemingly sick all the time is like a piece of armament that's waiting to go off! They've been here since Saturday AM and just going home in the next hour so, we'll see how the week progresses.

Between my GF and I we have 3 kids, ages 8,9, 14. One seems to always be sick last few months. Thankfully I've avoided most of it.

My wife brought it home frome work. Had it for two weeks. The lingering coughing is the worst.
BTW it hit me so hard and fast. The Fever was hard to break. This influenza A is some nasty ****.

I haven't been sick in so long I can't remember. I've been taking immune booster at the very hint of illness. I also learned from Linus Pauling that a high daily dose of vitamin C works wonders for one's immune system.

I was coughing up gunk for weeks last month. Then after work one day, I puked in my yard 5 times, stayed in bed for a day, now all better. I have many sick clients though, lotta stuff out there

My neighbor just got back from a week long cruise and I’m kinda staying away from him for now.

 

[torredcuda]

Not sure what it was but my wife and I still have a cough from some sickness we had 3-4 weeks ago, it started with our kid getting sick with 102 temp, throwing up, cough, sore throat, runny nose etc. then we got it - not fun.

I had a nasty head/chest cold that came on just before Christmas that lasted a good 5 weeks. No flu though.

 

[cr8crshr]

I got my annual Flu shot back in early November. I get it every year as it has been a routine habit since the 80s and my service in the USAF. So far, nothing, but it is getting kind of bad here in NV, so I try and take any and all precautions I can daily to avoid a possible contact. I consume Vitamin C, Zinc, D, and B/Fish Oil daily, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables daily, and wash my hands after I have been out and about, so maybe that is also helping my system stay in good shape to fight it if I get it. But so far...NADA!!! At approaching 76 years young, I need all the help I an get...cr8crshr/Bill

When the Wife and I were fighting our plague, I hit 39.8C (104F) numerous times and kept it below with lots of NyQuill. Wife tried to outdo me hitting 40.4C (105F) many times, which should be an immediate hospital run... but ER was backed up 8 to 10 hours and figured we had nothing to lose by staying home and drinking NyQuill and taking Tylenol.

As others mention the lingering cough is what sucks the most. I have finally stopped and it started before Christmas!

I deal with allergies all the time and about two months ago I was on the verge of a sinus infection and started running a temp. Norma wasn't feeling too good either and got some meds from a face time with her doctor. She got to feeling better pretty fast so I took one her her antibiotics and next thing I know, I'm doing good almost as fast. I also cammed some Allegra...which used to be a scrip med. With the weather doing a roller coaster ride, I'm having a bit of a hard time with the crap that's in the air and yeah, it's been windy here for the last several days.
