Default Feels like the flu
I'm running a fever, weak, achy, headach to kill, head cold. I haven't had the flu in ages but it sure feels like I have it now.

I'm sorry, Barbara.
Do you have a dr you can go to?
I think it is good to see a dr so that he/she gets a base line and gets a good picture of you starting out. Also, they might give you meds --especially if you have other risk factors.

In the meantime, get lots of sleep, drink fluids, and monitor the fever (last year I had a fever that was high and I prob should have gone to ER but I waited it out like an idiot.)


Take care of yourself.
Limit stress.
Can you stay home for a few days and work on recovering?

Mari

ETA: If you get to the ER within the first day or two of the flu, some of the anti-flu meds are effective.

Thank you Mari.

I called the doctor and there is little that can be done for the flu but to just ride it out. My head hurt so bad today that I threw up. I'm taking over the counter meds.

My next door neighbor is picking me up some things from the store while she is out. She's been gone a long time so I getting anxious for her to get back with the food.

Thank you Mari,

I felt good enought today to walk to the mail box and to go see a nieghbor who also has the flu. As soon as she lit up a cigarette though I left. I can't understand why people do such things knowing I've got lung problems and being sick on top of my asthma.

I am sorry that you are sick. And I totally agree about people smoking
when they realize you are sick and have asthma. But then I guess
it was her place.

I've been fortunate that my Daughter in law like has been very polite
and wont smoke unless she ask me if its okay. And I wont say yes
unless I know I can handle the smoke. Even on her front porch.

She doesn't smoke in her house.

Thank you Beth and Donna.

Beth I am starting to feel better tonight.

Donna, I went back to the same friend's house and she said she wouldn't smoke while I was there. The thing that gets me around where I live though is that most people will put them smoking before me. In other words, if they can't smoke around me they won't be around me.

Dear Barbara,
Most people are selfish.
When I meet someone generous, they make a big impact on my day and even my life.

Yea, me too Mari.

I feel so much better today but still have a trace of being ill. I'm thinking about going out for something to eat.
