“The flu will knock you down for at least a week. Down, in bed, and miserable. It’s a respiratory disease—not a stomach illness. If you miss a couple of days at work...you did not have the flu.”
I’ve tried to convince people of this. I had the flu ONCE. Doctor gave me steroid pills and steroid breathing treatments, I was THIS close to being in an oxygen tent. Missed 10 days of work, was the sickest I ever remember being.
Since then, I get a flu shot every year. I’ve had a couple of colds since, but no flu, thank You, Lord!
I am almost 65. Have never had a flu shot. Rarely, if ever, have gotten flu symptoms. No thank you!
