Aliens don’t get human influenza?

[CivilWarBrewing]

I blame IMMIGRANTS, illegal and others.

I’m 60. Never had the shot. Never get sick, hardly ever anyway.

[hal ogen]

Good luck.

[Terry Mross]

We both got flu shots. We’ve been in bed for a week. I’m afraid it’s going to turn into pneumonia though my lungs were clear last Tuesday. Thanks for the reply and good luck.

I got a Flu Shot, but I just had a terrible bout of asthma.
If you are already prone to respiratory infections or problems, you will likely have problems anyway. 1 week of Prednisone helped me to stop the coughing cycle. That plus the nebulizer.

[Terry Mross]

It’s scary to think I’ve got two more weeks of this. The doctor did tell me the cough would last for two more weeks AFTER getting over the actual flu. Thanks for the reply.

Stop using san hanitizer, wash your hands less (of course always after the potty, sneeze into and cough into your sleeve/bent elbow...sleep, water...I’ve not gotten a flu shot in 15 yrs. I believe in building up a resistance. I also don’t trust the gubmnt drug payoff complex. Yes, I said San hanitizer.

[gov_bean_ counter]

If people would start by washing their damn hands every now and then...

[blam]

Hoping for the best for you all.

I'm 74, got the flu shot back in September....staying home with my fingers crossed. Taking my normal 5,000IU of vitamin D/K. So far, okay.

[goodnesswins]

The reason I started trying the deep breathing is because I DO NOT want it to turn into Pneumonia. Can’t hurt...plus it seemed to make my chest feel better.

[goodnesswins]

HA...I regularly take about 8000 of D/K...good luck.

[fella]

This year’s flu vaccine is way off the mark.

[Terry Mross]

I take large doses of c and d.

[lizma2]

It takes a good 10 days. Threw up for 3 days. Stomach started to calm down for a few days and it started all over again! Nasty bug.

[Terry Mross]

It seems like I cough Everytime I exhale.

[Terry Mross]

All I’ve got left is the dry involuntary cough, diarrhea and no appetite. The fever is gone. The cough prevents sleep.

[Not A Snowbird]

I’m on Day 17 of this crap with no end in sight. Cough just hangs on.

[goodnesswins]

Yes...I had to stop and start...but eventually I could breathe in (nose) to the count of 8, hold for 4, and breath out (of nose)...Can’t do it every time, but more and more as I try it.
