I'm beginning to be really scared by the flus going around. They seem to be getting worse, and this year I had one of the worse ones ever--five days of fever 101-105, chills, and so out of it my heating pad gave me a 2nd degree burn and I didn't notice. And I've heard the respitory problems I've had since then take five or six weeks to fully go away.
I've always had the attitude, "aw, it's just the flu, who can't handle a day or two of being sick," but this was over the top. Then there's this talk about preparing for influenza pandemic. (Including someone telling me how the county is stocking up on body bags in preparation.)
Although I wonder if it's not the vaxes making it worse, I also wonder if the fact that they're getting worse isn't pushing me towards getting vaxed for it. I am way too stressed out to depend on a healthy lifestyle to keep my immune system up, I catch any virus that comes near me right now.
Wondering what your thoughts are on preparing for an influenza pandemic, and about the flu vaccine.
