Flu

[2manymustangs]

Twice for me... the first time with a sinus infection and Zpack... the second time I ended up with bad bronchitis and the big 900mg horse pill antibiotics, prednisone inhaler and prednisone pills in the 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 blister pack... It took 5+ weeks to get rid of the cough

Knocking heavily on wood but I've pretty well ducked it thus far. Had the ever lasting cough and was run down, but didn't let it get me all the way. The little curtain climber picked up a wicked cough they decided was croup, which had her for about 2 weeks. Pretty crazy with 2 trips to urgent care, one for a 103* fever, and a trip to her doctor, they weren't really concerned. Said it would take about 2 weeks, and it was 2 weeks to the day. Sleep is overrated anyway.

The saga continues. My wife's flu also brought pink eye which she gave to me a week later which I gave to Buzzz a week later.
Two people at Buzzz's work have died from it.

:( really really sad... was it the bacterial pneumonia that got them? The goo in my sinus and cough was like nothing I have ever had before, I think I am just NOW finally clearing it out... I totally understand how this has been deadly to many many folks, its unreal how bad it was in my chest...

This flu is the devil. Amy and I got it right before Christmas. Amy got the sinus infection like you did. Dr put her on 2 rounds of antibiotics. Unfortunately she still got the bronchitis. The antibiotics messed with her body really bad. Dr had her on prednisone pills and it was not good. After 2, she had to leave work and go to DR. Pale, sweating and trouble breathing. She did not fight the virus and it has caused troubles with her lungs and heart. Her resting heart rate is anywhere from 15-20 bpm higher than her normal. Also had her heart just pounding and trouble breathing. Stopped mid way through second round of antibiotics. She has been to lung DR and cardiologist. All seems okay, EKG, she has 99% oxygen level. She is living on benadryl. With her asthma being allergy induced, and her body unable to handle anything like that right now, it is a bitch. Amy is also taking some essential oil remedies. Those seem to be helping also. Finally able to do some light work outs. Of course her light work outs would kill the average person. My thoughts are if someone is excellent physical condition is getting kicked this hard, what happens to the out of shape person. 5 weeks after. I still have dry irritated bronchial tubes that make me cough. I also lose my voice by late afternoon. Hope anyone who gets this stuff is able to kick it faster than I have. At least I did not have the trouble Amy has had.

Did you guys get the flu shot this year and still got the flu?
If not, are you planning on getting one next year?
Im 100% anti flu shot but all these horror stories and making me think twice.
