Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Patti, my name is Dot...as for the cough, the Dr. prescribed to me Tylenol 3 w/codeine & that has helped me quite a bit. We forsure have to be very cautious around anyone that is ill. You may even want to get some masks to help.I've taken the pneumonia & flu shot-which has helped me alot. As for the cold weather..yes i have to keep bundled up or like for these past weeks i've been cooped up. i'm recovering from pneumonia..AS for exercise-i try to walk as long as i can, but very very hard for me right now. You body tells you...I mean when i feel well, i can go all day-with o2 of course, but when i feel bad..omg..i can't do anything. Vitamins..i take 1000mg of B12 & that really helps me with energy-but i also drink the fruit juice Monavie...a jigger a day for a year & it has done wonders for my energy level. Those are great questions..keep asking. Hope that helped some.. Dot/uip10/08/42/sa,tx By the way, welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009  To Dot too.... "the fruit juice...Monavie??? What is it and where do you get it? A Jigger a day for more energy sounds good to me. Does your Dr. approve? Thanks MamaSher; 71, IPF 3-2006, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Dot, Sher and Dyane, ......great tips....I am not taking any vitamins as of now but I do feel more tired, so I shall give the B12 a try.......haven't heard about Monavie juice. My sister takes a small jigger of Jonie juice every day and she swears by it, not for any illness just for overall heath. I have had the pneumonia and the flu shot but not the H1N1shot. I shall check into the breathing rehab......I didn't even know there was such a program. I think you are all so right.......a positive attitude will be my best defense!!
