Re: update on me - from Darlene

[Guest guest]

Darlene,

Glad to see you back and hopefully, feeling better!! The flu is hitting hard everywhere and according to the news, this years flu shot was the wrong mix. Their is a new flu that is going around that was not anticipated. I also had my flu shot as I work in health care and also came down with the flu. I kept saying, this feels like flu, but I had my shot!!! Got sick in 1 hour. weird... But, yeah, bronchitis came and reared it's ugly head and I ended up on 2 inhalers. I don't normally use any.

So, I echo your advice. If you think you have flu, anyone, get into your doctor's right away. I was told I was just about to go into pneumonia when I got in. Still worked too. Which was dumb. Bonnie BDelicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.

Hi everyone,

As most of you know, I have been in a

flare up since before Christmas

but thought it was getting much better and then 3

weeks ago, my hubby and

I both came down with this new strain of flu plus

I got bronchitis on top of

that. We were very, very, ill............altho

we had our flu shots, they did not

help with this new strain. We are both finally

getting over it.........just still

have lots of fatigue; cough; and runny nose.

Hope it will eventually work

out. I was so sick that I was afraid they were

going to put me back in the

hospital, but I finally got through it. This is

a terrible strain of flu - so if any

of you get it, PLEASE go to the

Doctor immediately and do not play around

with it. It is the worse flu

that I have ever had. We were coughing so bad

that we could not even talk on the phone -- that

is why I have not called

any of you.

I have many, many, emails to go through so

I am hoping I did not miss

anything that I should have answered...........

if so, I will try and get to it as

soon as I can.

To the new members -- welcome and I am

glad you found us but sorry

it had to be because of the neurosarcoidosis/sarcoidosis.

To all those who

are sick -- sending well wishes and prayers.

Just know that I really have

been thinking of you all and wishing well wishes

for you. I am sorry I have

not been around but hopefully I am back for

awhile, at least. Now........to

get to those emails..........have lots!

Sincerely,

Darlene

Darlene,

Don't worry about us, you need to take care of yourself so you don't

have a relapse, we have had that here too, first my husband, then my

son, and now my daughter, somehow I have been OK, I did get the flu

shot, so maybe they got the strain that is covered?? Do take care of

yourself, and know we missed you too, but want you to be better, I'll

keep you in my prayers, Marla
