I'll admit, my husband and I caught a "late season flu" in late May 2010 that kicked us down hard. I had to travel 2 weeks into it, with our daughter who was modeling and singing at the time... I was ill 5 weeks. My husband was able to rest and got over it sooner, as in 3 weeks. I hadn't gotten the flu shot, he had. I'm not insinuating that he was less ill because he was vaxed... he shouldn't have gotten it because he was vaxed, right?🙄😶🌫️ But it was a wicked bug. I never tested positive but my doctor was convinced it was the flu and was doing everything he could think of to get me well. Not with big pHARMa, but with suppliments. We still talk about how sick we were, with the flu... "Late season flu is far worse," according to many physicians who knew us... Their comments didn't help. I look back and wonder just what it was we were exposed to...
Personally, I believe a version has been around for much longer than the he last 3-4 years. Many of us had an extraordinary flu that was unlike amy other flu. Ever.
So. What was it really then? One of the most telling signs is a repeated spiking fever at night. And the virus moving from body to respiratory.
Never before had a flu that spiked fever more than once.
I remember when our daughter was a baby. My husband and I had flu at the same time and took turns sleeping on a mattress in the dining room. We cared for baby somehow. No relatives around. She never got sick. This was 1972. Never got flu again until 1998 and never since even with maybe 2 flu shots under my belt. But things come out of left field sometimes.
Been there, done that and it was hard with four! Few flu vaccines for me as well. I saw an article not too long back about a study into the flu vaccines over the years... they simply never really worked, NEVER. MD hubby has finally decided he'll not get any more vaccines of any kind... joining me, the reader, questioner, skeptic, non-MD who was a med tech way back when...
