Wait until you get old and try that stuff. It damn near killed me. Mine started with a sore neck, & graduated from there. Coughed up fluid till I thought that I was one of those bubble packing machines. Then a dry cough. Got well for almost a week, then back again for a week, but not quite as bad, then well again for a week, then back again for a 3rd & final time. Ran a fever on and off most of the time. Couldn't sleep for a few nights too. Basically on the verge of pneumonia. Hope that you get well soon, and if I had it to do it over again, off to a doctor, clinic, or hospital immediately for vitamin shots, sleep medicine, pain killer & just better drugs all of the way around. I don't know what you youngsters felt when you had it, but it almost did me before I could do it. I will not take a chance on that stuff again.
 
Did any of you guys get a flu shot last fall? I didn't and havn't even had a cold this winter. The wife had the flu shot and she's been sick twice this winter.As a nurse she's required to and as a senior i'm advised to but i seam to do just fine without the flu shot.My employer sells Afluria brand flu shots and we get the shot for free but i still take a pass on it.They claim they'll sell 10 mil doses next fall. george
 
Flu and more

I work for the military, so I fortunately get a free flu shot every year. I started feeling crappy before the holidays, but never too bad. Got into January, inauguration weekend and thought I was getting the flu also, but ended up with pneumonia, basically filled the entire left lung, and was starting it's way over to the right. Finally, about three and a half weeks later, starting to getting back to normal. what is weird is that there seems to be a lot of pneumonia cases around here (Washington DC area). Weird...
 
My 6 year old has it. Knocked him out for 3 days. Almost slept 24-7. His DR said might as wel count on getting it.. well he was right..im on day 1. I hope this Zpack helps.
 
Oh man Louie, IM still down with deep chest cough, I checked the flu by region map and Orange County FL is so bad the news showed Quincy on a corner shouting
"Its an Epidemic"!!!!!!!
 
I got the FLU & Phenomena shots!

Guess what it kick my azz with reactions. I don't know if getting it like you did or getting it with the shot is any better.
 
Pneumonia shots? Can you elaborate? I had asked my doc what I can do to reduce the possiblility of getting it again, and he basically said there is nothing you can do. 3 weeks of that crap really sucked.
 
I hear ya brother

I have been sick for 9 days now, fever was 102 about an hour ago. Every night it breaks and I wake up soaked, next day it all starts over. I have no appetite and have lost 15 lbs so far. I've had to tough it out at work with Advil for the fever. I had no idea there were virus strains that could last this long. Stay hydrated, VERY important!
 
Benton Harbor? I grew up in Chicago, a good friend of mine has a summer place on Paw Paw lake.Nice place to visit... I can't take that cold anymore!
Hang in there, bud!
 
I'd make fun of ya and stuff there, Mikey, but if I did karma says I'd get it next......

I should be good. Drank enough 151 last night to kill ANY virus. ;)
 
Maybe it isn't the flu after all. Just got back from the grocery store and noticed all the Kashi brand peanut butter granola bars were gone from the shelf. I eat these all the time. I see now that they have been recalled due to the Salmonella outbreak.

Sat (yesterday) I felt great, woke up...fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head...er well anyway

Judy and I went to OldTown last night...packed, came back and the cough started up again, this morning I feel like hell
 
wife has death hack for weeks now.

I smoke a couple of various things and have been healthy for years?
 
Yeah guys, watch what you eat peanut butter wise.
Lets see, they recalled so far...

Kashi brand granola products
Keebler brand anything with PB in it (crackers, etc) Kashi is actually a Keebler brand..(so is Kelloggs)
Little Debbie brand peanut butter related stuff (Keebler makes some of their stuff)
um..
thinking...
zone nutrition bars (I think)
Heres Howe peanut related products...
I think thats the list at the moment.

All these guys get their ingredients traced back to one manufacturer, but don't worry about your regular name brand PB like Jif and Peter Pan, they have nothing to do with the one company doing wholesale distribution. They don't even direct market a PB.

I am a grocery receiver, so I am seeing these recalls as they come through, and I'm responsible for tracking all the crap we send back. So, as far as I know thats the extent as a result of the recalls. Apparently, theres been 9 reported death related cases so far. I'm friends with our Keebler rep, and the 9 cases were people who had weakened immune systems, and had direct contact with large quantities of the PB used in the products. The products being pulled are all due to a cautionary recall. No cases have actually been traced to the items as of yet.
But, just a heads up on the products above. I'd get rid of the above mentioned stuff of you have it, just to be on the safe side.
