Respiratory Infections

[Heyjude31]

Hello everyone, happy weekend, it’s just a heads up really, and you may already be aware. We know it’s the flu season and the unmentionable, but having a cough which has recently turned into a bit of a nasty chest infection, apparently there are some of these respiratory infections about! Not to scare anyone just to make people aware. Take care, Judi

Ah thanks for making us aware of this I've had my flu one so glad cause nearly died from it few years ago 💔. But so far so good this year, thought I was catching a cold the other day but that seems to of gone thank goodness x

So glad you are okay. That must have been a very scary experience for you 🤗

[Yumz199725 in reply to Heyjude31]

Yeah it was so scary especially for my family they really thought I wasn't gona make it, I had chest infection, the flu and asthma attack because of all of that so was scary because of how bad it affected my heart I was in the ccu for 2 weeks x

Hi, not sure why you have reposted my post? Is it to share with another group?

Thanks, Judi. I’ve had both my doses for this season, but will still be wary around coughers!

Hi, me too!Coughers and sneezers are everywhere! Especially on the buses! Being in Liverpool, the city is yet again filled with uni students, do you think they even cover their mouth whilst spluttering their germs about? No of course!

Will have to start giving the public transport wide berth...and risk being knocked down on the pavement by scooters and cyclists! 😡

Have a lovely weekend!😊

Good morning Judi. Thanks for the warning. I have had a morning cough since January and can't get rid of it. Take care and hope you keep safe and warm. Brian

Thanks Brian, I do hope you are able to get better from your cough, it is so debilitating. Take care, Judi

Thank you, Heyjude31 for the heads up. I had my flu shot on Monday. I usually have little, to no, reaction to a flu shot, but this time I did. For three days, I had a fevered area on my arm at the injection site, a lump about the size of a small egg, and some arm pain. It was unusual to have this reaction, but I’m glad to have the shot.

For two years now, I have received the stronger dose of the flu shot for those 65+. Maybe that accounts for my stronger reaction to the shot this year.

Again, thank you for the heads up. ❤️
