Flu

Grate_expectations · 2022-12-22T14:09:35.839Z

This year was my first flu vaccine. I’ve had the flu once in my 43 years of life abut 13 years ago. I don’t have the flu now - my conclusions on this? Nothing. It’s not a usable data set so I don’t go making recommendations to others to get a flu shot or not based on 1 patient (me). My child, 4, does have the flu. He’s not been vaccinated either. So what do I do now? We just look after ourselves and get well and don’t recommend vaccinations or not on internet forums.

Also, @dee it’s a thread talking about the flu and some talk of vaccinations and you mention ‘not getting injected with stuff’ - let’s not be an idiot and pretend it wasn’t aimed at vaccinations.

I never mentioned vaccinations of any kind.

Thank you for the clarification. Vaccines are ace.

I guess you can use the standard joke in this situation - How can you tell if someone is anti-vax? They’ll tell you.

Im not joking.
Be careful.

Well I hope it didn’t seem like I was trying to convince anyone not to get the flu vaccine. My Mom is in her 70s has one lung and has it and I would be pretty upset if she didn’t.

Apart from the aforementioned remedies, I recommend Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (Chinese Cough Syrup) for soothing coughs and sore throats. Also drinking ginger, garlic, lemon and honey in hot water.

No Flu, but had covid again last week.

Heard my roommate coughing and groaning Monday morning and thought nothing of it as I assumed he was hung over. Didn’t see him Tuesday morning when I left for work and my office Christmas party, where I was around our whole team. Sat next to a 75 year old woman. Then drove home a senior manager who had too much to drink and was flying out to Hawaii the next morning.

Then the next morning symptoms started. I tested negative Wednesday but positive Thursday. Thankfully it seems I got no one sick.

Dunno if was flu or cv I had. Feked for most of a week in bed with a bottle of water…Even now almost 3 weeks after I first fell ill its lingering on.

Yes got my brain smashed by a yellow brick last week. Headache, brain fog, dizzy, feverish all over, changed clothes multiple times per night because I was drenched sweat.

It faded away after a couple night, now I am left with an annoying cough.

No fun at all.

So hopefully everyone gets through it quickly and gets better soon.

Eat a couple of fresh pineapples. They are full of good stuff. very refreshing and revitalizing.

Im pro-natural health now. Since upping my take of Vit C&D / antioxidants, I’ve not been ill at all. If you work on your own health, wellbeing, sleep then you’ll likely feel confident in your own immune system.

You might even find you stop posting about the sniffles on a music forum.

Irony

Pineapples have bromelain, also very good for the liver, prost !

Sleep, fluids, echinacea, olive leaf extract (or some other source of vit c) usually knocks it on the head pretty quickly for me.

New one tonight. Fevers have passed but can’t sleep because when I breathe out my chest is making a high pitched noise that sounds a mix between a skidding car and screaming banshee which then echoes around my fragile head. Nothing I try stops or reduces it

This is like some next level torture

RealTinyPenguin · 2022-12-23T03:48:54.593Z

I’ve gotten hit twice. This second time was right before a big move and I’m suffering through it while driving across the country.

Stay away from nurses. They’re filthy.

That’s why I’m engaged to one.

Would you mind sampling that for me? I’ve got a new track I’m working on and think it will fit in perfectly.
