Be careful girl!

I got Influenza A on the 21st and I went down SO fast in a matter of hours. The nebs weren't working and I ended up on a Bi-pap in the ER for several hours then a mutli-day hospital stay.

I was at 92% that morning and 87% by 6pm.

I hope you get and feel better soon!!!!

@Starcrossed I have flu A right now. Got it on Christmas but didn’t get tested until the 27th.
I forget I have asthma most of the time, it’s almost always under control. This has really sucked.

@Starcrossed my nebs barely seem like they’re doing anything. I was offered steroids yesterday and declined, but I think I may have to. I’m just trying to not get pneumonia

@itsok I ended up on steroids too, I hate their side effects but damn being able to breathe is so much better.

@itsok it's a tough virus. My husband and kid had it first, and neither are asthmatic but damn it's been like 2 weeks for hb and he's still wheezing worse than me. It totally kicked our butts.

Just keep an eye on your 02%...it can tank so fast and it's so scary. You're in my thoughts. 🙏

@Starcrossed thank you so much
