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.

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

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.

I was having flu induced semi awake dreams last night and the sound was becoming some kind of industrial horror drone music.

I think this is the sound of your soul being drained away.

FWIW after our sickness bug prior to the christmas break, all 4 of us got the flu, whilst visiting a relative in Germany. We found no miracle cures and I’d rather we didn’t all feel dreadful, but it did give carte blanche to disappear to get rest as we needed.

Both kids have gone back to nursery today, so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can catch next.

One time when I was crook around 15-16 years ago (can’t recall if it was flu-like or gastro like but it was less severe than either) after a couple of days I had a bath hoping it would make me feel better. Got out, pulled the plug and went back to bed in the room directly across the hallway. I was feeling feverish, not quite hallucinating but definitely not with it. I happened to let out a fairly loud and longish fart that then transformed into the most terrible screeching sound. I thought I was dying for a couple of seconds before I realised that the fart and the awful noise (the last of the water draining from the bath) were thankfully separate.
