The wife works at a nursing home. She’s done it for the past several years and worked at a couple of different facilities. We were sick a lot for the first couple of years but haven’t been sick in 2-3 years. I guess we’ve had every strain of fly there is and have become immune. I’ve never been one to curl up under a blanket when I’m sick. I just push through it for the most part. If it’s warm(lived in FL 25 yrs), I’ll go sit in the sun and let it bake that stuff out of me. When I am under a blanket, as in sleep time, I’ll pull them up over my head and sweat/bake it out. Sort of a self induced fever. Never felt really bad for more than 2-3 days, until I got that flu shot. I felt really bad for 2 weeks that time.
and now at 50+ years, I’m developing allergies. yay Oak pollen covering everything right now. Like having a damn cold all the time and I can’t take Benadryl. I haven’t been into tripping since I was 17 but that’s how it makes me feel and not a good trip either. Same with Sudafed. Some of us just aren’t built for certain man made meds. Some people can get sensitized to certain man made chemicals. Some people get cancer from man made stuff while others don’t. It’s just the way it is and I’m one of those vaxxers I guess because I do believe they’re causing autism. I have an autistic son and I know the timing of a round of shots he got and a switch being thrown in his brain and him becoming a completely different child.
Yes, something is in the air in Florida right now, because I get stuffy nose often. I just swallow one of those red allergy pills bought from dollar store and then my stuffy nose gets all better very quickly, and is good for 1 to 3 days.
