This bug that's going around

[Lumps]

I never had the flu shot. I would not die if I got the flu so I look at it as people who would should get it. I have a hard time trusting it just yet. Some people say if you can sustain it, it is better to catch it and then become immune by beating it than it is to get the shot. These are all just opinions mind you, but there have been deaths from the flu shot (not a lot) but still, as well as some crazy side effects. It is a good option but I think it may be a bit over hyped for money purposes.

But I don't think this sickness has nothing to do with the flu, or at least TEH flu. I felt a little sick but that was because it was hard to really do anything. Lack of sleep, food and an abundant of medications in your empty belly that send your blood pressure through the roof mixed with a few antibiotics will surely make you feel queasy.

Yeah, same way I feel. I've avoided any and all meds I absolutely can since my early teens, when I first heard someone say that antibiotics should only be used if you absolutely need them because they weaken your immune system. And like you said, if you catch it yourself, your body builds up immunities to it, so I'd prefer that route.

Mine's mostly a cough. Keep swallowing that crap and it keeps parking itself in my chest. It went away for a day then came back. Also, I have felt like a zombie the past week. And my forehead seems very warm.

Couldn't sleep at all last night because of coughing. Got a little sleep this morning. Now, I've lost my voice completely and my throat hurts like a mofo. And my fuging ears have started hurting. I can barely move, my sides hurt so bad, especially when I cough. I start crying, and that just makes everything worse because my nose starts running.

[sunbunny]

Yeah, no phlem or stuffy nose here. For a minute it doesn't even seem like I'm sick. That could be the vics though.

They took chest xrays, so hopefully they would have seen any fluid around my heart. Kinda feels like that though. A very horrible experience and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I have a heart condition unrelated to this stuff. I think the stress of this stuff is contributing to my heart problems. My bp when I went to the ER was 168/108, and that's with me on bp pills. It's usually normal.

They did a ct scan on me to make sure it wasn't chf. The good thing is that all my stents are open and blood is flowing!! Woot!

Yeah I found out I have the beginning stages of lung disease, maybe that was a good thing. If I can stop smoking cigs, I can get that under control.

But when my pain meds wear off, it feels like someone is just punching me every second, over and over in my gut. Cramp after cramp after cramp after cramp. This is horrible.

Gotta find the silver lining right?

I think I had it last weekend.. Got in a few dry sauna sessions at about 190 for about 35 mins each. Deliberately breath through the nose to open up sinuses and heat up the lungs.

"Give me a fever and I can cure anything."

Aside from that, raw organic ACV 3 times a day, along with tons of vitamin C, D, and Magnesium.

Anyway, that's what I did. Not a doctor and not giving medical advice, but I'm back to 100% after about 2-3 days.

Went back to CMC last night for a 2nd opinion. Diagnosed with Lobular Pneumonia.

The toys they have at their disposal at CMC is amazing. I think I'm actually feeling better already.

Wifey has some funk.

Cough cough cough

Been home 2 days now.

She is quiet now.

Honey is one of the best cough suppressants.

She didn't want the other one I offered

[sunbunny]

This is my third week with it, and I don't feel any better. I'm seriously considering going back to the ER in a couple of hours (we'll already be at the hospital). I can hear myself rattling in my chest.

[Liminy]

For my 1000th post I would like to use my Christmas wish and wish that everyone gets better!!! Especially sunbunny cause it seems as though she has it the roughest.... Get well soon everybody!!!

[Razzy]

I thought I was going to die. I bet I was taking a breath every 2 seconds and it did absolutely no good. Hurt like hell to clear my lungs, or even burp. Burping was actually worse. I could see how something like this could kill someone in frail shape.

Did they give you a diagnosis? Sounds like something more serious than a "bug". Hopefully it's nothing truly dangerous.

EDIT: Found it. Lung disease? Yikes. Quit the cigs and do a lung detox regiment.

You should see my toilet.

The doctor seemed very optimistic that the Lung Disease is very mild right now, and just quitting cigarettes would make all the difference in the world.
