"Nothing like a big aluminum tube filled with people from all over the world to create a first-class bug cocktail!"

I take antibiotics before hand if I must fly. I always got sick without doing so.

I read somewhere the vaccine this year was less than 10% effective.

Yahoo.

It won’t load for me.

Wait until after the Christmas break and all those students coming back from visiting grandma in some turd world country spread more viruses.

“I wonder if I got sick because of a bug I picked up while visiting him in the hospital.”

sounds like it, and the CDC map shows Georgia as a flu hot spot. and being as sick as you said sounds like it could be the flu.

So happy my travel for next week was canceled and I’m not likely to need to do anything over the holidays.

Most likely way for me to get it is from the recirculating air on those darned planes.

“I still have some leftover cough.”

two possibilities:

1. Persistent inflammatory irritation of the lungs induced by the original infection. Treatment is steroid and Beta2-adrenergic agonist inhalers or nebulizers. Example steroid is Aerospan and example Beta2-adrenergic agonist is albuterol/levalbuterol.

2. You developed a bacterial co-infection which is quite common. Treatment is with antibiotics.

I got my flu shot about a week ago. Was told it isn’t fully effective for 20 days.

Got a TERRIBLE flu late last winter. Was in bed for 2-3 days and just felt totally miserable and wiped. I said, for the first time in my life I FEEL OLD.

Decided I would get a shot every year from here on out.

Do people really trust the CDC to give us accurate unbiased info?

How were those flu cases diagnosed? Were all cases confirmed with a specific diagnostic test, or are these simply reports of clinical diagnoses and unconfirmed?

Even more likely, these numbers are probably “estimates “ from conjured up reports by ER administrators that are pressured into hyping up flu stats. You know, the same administrators that are forcing employees into getting forced vaccinations so as to maintain their Medicare reimbursement rates.

Thanks. I almost went to the doc because I thought I had pneumonia. Then the cough and breathing started getting better but boy did it hang on. I have to go fo another reason anyway so I’ll have him check.

“Decided I would get a shot every year from here on out.”

Last year I got the shot *and* the flu.

If I’m going to get it anyway, why bother with the shot?

I’m so sorry for your loss. While in the hospital, he would have been exposed to doctors and nurses who were also treating flu patients. It’s unlikely it was from you.

Wife got her shot and I passed (I usually pass because when I get the shot I seem to get more colds, etc., than when i let my system do what God designed it to do (not saying medicine ain't good - just seems to be causing some problems by not letting immune systems fully develop in some areas).

So far neither of us have had a sniffle but I see MS went into the "widespread" category since last week - will have to avoid crowds as best I can.
