Did you get the Vaccine? Did you Not? If Not...Do you stay home more? Do you wear a surgical mask when having to go out?
Same timing here too Jean with the flu shot. So far so good. I just started using a sinus wash and it makes a heck of a difference. Feel better! I just got a squeeze bottle wash unit that came with 3 or 4 salt packets, then got another box of just salt/saline packs. Total cost for both was less than $30 from CVS. Just have to BE SURE to use distilled or purified water when you use it and for rinsing or cleaning!!!!! The entire process takes about 2 minutes, seems "gross" but is easy to use and feels great. And you can use it several times a day.
The intestinal flu is not what is dangerous this year; it's the respiratory flu that is killing people. I am lucky, too, and haven't been ill. I have done everything I usually do, including flying to VA and DE in the last week. I do the usual things: wash hands, use hand sanitizer, stay away from people who are sick or getting there, and use my sinus wash regularly. Got my flu shot in September when all the health providers were saying "get the shot!".
I had the flu shot and my boyfriend got the flu passed it on to me but I didn't get it bad cause I did have flu shot.and my doc.put me on some meds asap.so we caught it early.they say even if you got it its not to late to get the shot.im glad I did .and I got shot pnammonia.oops can't spell.but we so susceptible to it it pays to get that shot also
