Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mine lasted for 3 weeks and I never ever get the flu. It was miserable. Then a couple weeks later I got it again for a couple days. i am so sorry. Even my best home remedies didn't work for it. A. Kenney ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Tue, January 4, 2011 8:41:39 AM Subject: The flu Happy New Year.. I have been sick with the flu since last Thursday(12/30). I missed my family Christmas and everything. I have had a fever, headache and have been very weak. I tried to go to work yesterday and came back home after 1 1/2 hours. I thought I was feeling better. I felt awful by the time I got home and was very weak and laid in bed all afternoon. My temp is 98 to 99. But my normal temp is 96.5 or so. My question is: has anyone had the flu yet this season, and if so, did it last this long for you? I know it lasts longer for us since our immune systems are not that great. I don't want to go to the doctor because all they do is give you antibiotics, which I do not do well with. Thanks. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Colleen, Just going back downstairs again decided to look in and saw your email. It seems a bit obvious (to me) that flu can put quite a strain on the immune system. It seems yours probably has been compromised. Usually on fibro patients the aftermath will last much longer. I recommend you begin taking greek yogurt since much of the flu is from weakened immune system that begins in the stomach. Second, begin taking coconut oil immediately to crush the bad bacteria and build the good bacteria quickly in your immune system. Lotsa water and real chicken broth and double up on vitamin intake for a couple of days. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/Fatigued-Fantastic-Energy-Revitalization-System/dp/B0017K8\ VTE This helps me get a bit more energized.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks so much Joanne, Im in the doctor's office like ev ery two weeks. my immune system is so low. My doctor gave me a vitmin b shot the beginning of this week. I feel soooo much better... he also took me off of savella,I was on for almost a year and was getting worse and put me on lexapro, I havent been sleeping at nite for a while..... sometimes all i wanted to do was hide and live like a hermit, but honestly the vitamin b shot has made me feel alive.... keep in touch with me please, thanks and God bless you...  Shirley Subject: The flu To: fibromyalgiacured Date: Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 10:41 AM  Happy New Year..
