Oh just shoot me now and put me out of my flipping misery 😩

This flu is kicking my ass. It's been a week, and although I don't have a fever coming and going any more ...which is nice....I'm a snot box, my chest feels like someone is standing on it, and I think I pulled a muscle last night when I coughed so much I threw up .
And I'm exhausted just from breathing .

EVERYTHING inside hurts. I'm up nearly all night sneezing and coughing - it just won't let me sleep. And I'm crashing multiple times a day . I'm SOOoo tiiiired of coughing ....it's giving me headaches and my core muscles are DONE !....just flipping DONE !

It's like going back to being a kid again . I can't remember the last time I was sick like this .

Ivr never gotten 'something' , got well for a week, and then got sick again . How does that happen ?
Aren't immune systems suppose to build antibodies the first time round ?

All you guys in the northern hemisphere....watch out for this sucker this coming winter . It's spreading like wildfire down here, work has been short staffed now for MONTHS . People are ending up in hospital with pneumonia.

And if you get it .....ffs ....rest up . Don't go back to work after a few days thinking you are better. People, including me, have done that .....and all it did was hit worse .
It's so energy sucking . I've been living in my pyjamas for days now, and have seriously considered just wearing them to tje shop to get milk I'm just so wiped . (And I've never done that in my LIFE!).
- I didn't ...I went without milk instead -

But guys ....seriously - mask up and keep your sanitizer on you this coming winter. You don't want this sucker.
I'm using up sick days like candy, and I'd love to just change my bedsheets ....but I just can't - im too exhausted to even do that .

I'm sorry you're still suffering, could you not lil oogie to go to the shops and get stuff for you!? Get her to change your sheets when she's done with the shopping.

Remind her we used to send kids up chimneys and down coal mines if she grumbles....
@AntisocialTroll hahaha...you know - shesv right here . She showed up today and did just that .

I just told her wot you said. She says "hi" 🤗
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@OogieBoogie Tell her I hope she's well and happy! And that I'm glad we didn't need to send her down a coal mine 🤣
Oogs, are you sure it isn't covid? A friend of mine just got out of the hospital. I sent him with respiratory distress 13 days ago. He had a history of COPD, and had pneumonia too on top of shingles and some other chronic health problems. Anything lung-related can become pretty serious. Have you been to a physician lately?

Yes i know what you are going through. Although not as bad as your flu - I was hit with a cold virus. Usually i get over them within a week but this one has has hung on for over 2 weeks moving from head to throat to chest and back again! And people are talking about a 90-day cough at the end of it! Very frustrating ...
@Crusher69 People here are talking about some who are struggling to get over it - lethargy, and yes - lingering symptoms .

I finally slept almost straight thru last night, barely coughed at all. So I think I'm on the last of it .
I swear the viruses are either getting stronger or our immune systems are getting weaker.

Years a go id kick something like this over in say 3 - 5 days .
Crusher69 · 61-69, M
@OogieBoogie glad to hear - nothing worse than not being able to sleep. Take care
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
Some peeps here are in their third week off with this flu....so yes not Covid.
@KiwiBird I have about 30 out of date spit tests , and maybe 20 of up the nose ones .

If you work for the government they throw them at you . I've given so many awayv I just can't use that many .🙄🤷
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@OogieBoogie I only have the nose jobs....apparently more accurate. Mine came from a govt employee so at least the freebies are being spread around. 🤣
@KiwiBird hahaha, that's good to know .
Yeah, my new ones are the brain poking ones ...god I hate them 😩
TexChik · F
What aren't you taking for it?
@TexChik yeah...I know .
And it's coming out ....which is good 👍
TexChik · F
@OogieBoogie You havent seen a doc for it?
@TexChik yeah...I saw a doc. He said rest, fluids , steam and panandol for fevers ...which I already knew . I just went for the sick certificate 😂
You really can't do much for a virus ...unless it gets bad . It's good to let you body handle it if it can ...it's how the immune system updates .

This is ultimately a good thing for my body. It gives my immune system a good work out and brings it up to date with the latest mutation of the virus.

I'm just complaining coz I feel miserable and I'm bored 😂
calicuz · 56-60, M
I feel for you. I remember having Covid last year and that wipes a person out too.
Hope you feel better, and stay in bed.
@calicuz I feel like I've been living on my couch 😂...(it's where the fire is ).

Yeah, today I feel a little better , thankfully .
RuyLopez · 56-60, M
Hate to see you so sick. Prayers for you to get over this quickly.
@RuyLopez yeah...I've been doing that , but it should really help right now when everything wants to come up .
Im perpetually smelling like eucalyptus 😆
RuyLopez · 56-60, M
@OogieBoogie Feel better!

Get well soon
@BizSuitStacy I swear they are getting worse .
@OogieBoogie I got one last October. Kicked my butt. Took about 3 weeks to fully shake it.
@BizSuitStacy wow...that sounds nasty!
ExtremeNext · 36-40
Did you get your flu shot this winter? Hope you get better soon
BTW I can't see 8 answers because I'm blocked I hope these people catch your cold 😂
@ExtremeNext actually last year was the first flu shot I got ...and it made me ill.
This year I didn't . So I suppose in a way it's my own fault .

But at least my system is up to date now. In fact probably more up to date than everyone who got the shot. So I'm good for next year as well now 😄
revenant · F
Is it pneumonia or covid ? awww good luck to you.


tip : ginseng tectures...not the pills.
@revenant it was influenza ..... It kicked my.ass for two weeks . Today is the first day I've finally felt better .
And yeah...only paracetamol . Not much you can do for a virus 🤷

Heard on tv this year is bad for you on Oz.

Just booked my annual Jan for next month when the latest strain vaccine is available. Hopefully I'll avoid it this winter.
@OldBrit I hope you do . It's a kick in the teeth, it really is .

What kind gun do you want to be shot with?

PS

I do have a a real freid cannon that can shoot a 12 pound cannon ball

@HumanEarth why do you have field cannon 😂
HumanEarth · F
@OogieBoogie

It was my Grandfathers, when he was a Civil war reenactment actor.

When he past, the cannon was left to me.

It is not an original cannon, but remake and it really fires.
HumanEarth · F
So @OogieBoogie you got one thing to ask yourself. Did I fire a cannon ball or not? So do you feel lucky...Punk! Well do you?
bookerdana · M
I have some bug thats 🥾ing my arse.....and that part abou not going back to work;t its the 5 day downswing.according to my friend

WE both have Covid 😫
bookerdana · M
@OogieBoogie Gotcha...still its a good resource; stay well
theoldschoola · 46-50, M
@OogieBoogie You should. COVID isn't dead.
@theoldschoola true , true . But then I'd be doing the same things for covid as I'm doing for the flu anyways.

But since I haven't had it yet , it'd be good to know if I had .
Plus my work needs to know .
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
Having the flu sucks. I don't get as often, but when I do, I lose several days of productive, meaningful existence each time.

Get well soon.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@OogieBoogie It's a way of saying, oh we missed you!
@IamCuriousBabe so I should feel loved and included ?🤣
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@OogieBoogie You should. Proof we can say to anyone that it's not true nobody loves them.

Senega & Ammonia is a cough expectorant and helps to: Relieve Chesty congestion Loosen, remove phlegm and prevent throat irritation Suitable for people with high blood pressure

Ammonium chloride increases acidity by increasing the amount of hydrogen ion concentrations. Ammonium chloride can be used as an expectorant due to its irritative action on the bronchial mucosa. This effect causes the production of respiratory tract fluid which in order facilitates the effective cough

For relief from a chesty or wet cough and a tight chest Gold Cross Senega & Ammonia Mixture can be used. It alleviates the feeling of a tight chest which is caused by phlegm or mucus associated with congestion in the chest.

Have these symptoms resulted from a sore throat or nasal and sinus congestion? If so, then this product is for you as it relieves cough and congestion due to a cold.
@SW-User 😆...you sound like an ad😆

@OogieBoogie You’re welcome 💗
Musicman · 61-69, M
I am so sorry to hear this. You seriously need to go to the doctor and get some antibiotics. This has been going on for to long. You don't want it to turn into pneumonia.
Have you been tested for covid?
@NativePortlander1970 no, not yet. I'm just getting back to being semi functional . It's on my to do list . I just gotta go pick one up, (all mine are out of date).
