No pains but have had a dose of flu! In spite of flu jab.
Started with a 3 day "tight band "headache and slightly sore throat. Then l became so conjested I could hardly breathe, alternated with a running nose. (3 boxes of tissues later)! have been coughing badly for 2 weeks so far. Lots of chills and staying in bed, hot baths,steaming my head.....anti conjestants, now on lozenges and loads of watery drinks - sick of the honey and lemon! At least it should've gone by Xmas.
Guess my immune system isn't functioning too well even though I've been off the Pred for a couple of months. Think I picked it up on a plane ( journey usually 4 hrs, took 12hrs due to a suspect traveller with a fake passport....he was removed before take off but then we had to evacuate so plane could be thoroughly searched by police and sniffer dogs...lots of hanging around then diversion as pilot ran out of flying hours. Very stressful)
On a lighter note....friends have been juicing and feel great, and have lost weight. I decided to try juicing for breakfast, soup for lunch then protein, loads of veg/ salad for dinner. Lost 6lbs in 2 weeks - although feeling ill meant I wasn't tasting much or hungry
Always a silver lining in the black cloud. Worth a try if you can do it.
Happy Xmas everyone and hope the flu doesn't get you.........!
