I got a bad cold in the first week of Dec and I STILL have it! At least the doctor told me it is a cold. It became walking pneumonia and now back to a cold. Or is it the flu? How can one really tell the difference? Or maybe I’m just old?
Anyway, if it is now the flu my best bet is to stay away from doctors and hospitals. Too many contagious sick people!
What’s freepers take on vaporizer with Essential Oils ?
I too had a bad chest cold. It hit the week before Christmas and I still have a dry cough, especially when I change my position from horizontal to vertical or vice versa. For several days my lungs crackled like crazy and breathing was a chore. But I don’t believe it was the flu: no fever, no aches, just congestion.
I have been sick off and on since the last week of October. Got a horrible cold that put me in bed just miserable for 3 days. Since then, I get to feeling better then bam! I’m sick again. Every other week I’m sick again. Thought I had pneumonia a couple of times but then would get better. The other night I started coughing and the next morning my chest hurt so I went to the doc. He loaded me up on some heavy duty dm cough syrup, steroids, an inhaler and told me if I’m not better by the middle of this week to start taking taking a zpack he prescribed for me. He also wants me tested for valley fever.
I just want to get well and stay well! I feel for you and hope you feel better soon.
