Relapse

Noel7 — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 16:10:26 GMT

SF was hit again with smoke, ash and particles from the Thomas fire. We've had the windows and doors shut but it gets inside anyway. My asthma came back along with the Type B flu symptoms. Maybe I just hadn't gotten over it. I don't know.

My heart goes out to all those affected by the fires.

@Noel7 I also have asthma and weak lungs from repeated infections. I can't even stand to breathe smoke from a fireplace chimney, so I can't even imagine what you are going through with all that smoke and the flu. If you feel it getting worse again, you may have the secondary infection, and I know how crummy that makes you feel. I hope you will get an antibiotic script if that happens.......it could turn into pneumonia. Please take care of yourself!

Thank you all for your support.

This setback has been hard to take, I'm still coughing a lot, not sleeping and pretty weak, but at least I'm better than I was

Really, really sorry to hear this. Seems the word "relapse" is a word with great "creep factor" these days. Do hope this works it way swiftly out of your body, so that you can enjoy Christmas.

Thank you @sfnative ! I sure hope your virus is gone for good. I thought I was getting much better, my MD said at least three more weeks after I got home. All of a sudden, it was bad again, that horrible cough, sounded like I was in a cave.

I do feel better the last couple of days, still with the cough but not as weak.

Best wishes for you and your family, and Merry Christmas.

Sorry to hear you have had a relapse. We have several neighbors who have this flu (both young and old) and it has hit them like a ton of bricks. The one couple has a little girl just a little over a year old. That whole family is down with it. The other woman is my next door neighbor. She is almost 70 and I have never seen her look so sick.

These fires are such a tragedy. I am praying for all who are affected by them and that you will soon be feeling better.

Thank you @jubilant

I can't shake it, and in a few days, I face a CT scan and sonogram with a possible biopsy on my thyroid. I don't want to do it, I am so tired of going though one thing after another.

@Noel7

Hi Noel,

Just noticed that you've got that CT and sonogram coming up, but also have that cough on board. Though your cough may be productive, would it be possible for these two procedures for you to have an rx cough medicine with codeine in it, providing it is not contraindicated due to your asthma? That would certainly help with the coughing, while in the tube. Just wondering. H \Really hoping you're going to get better very, very soon.

@Noel7

I feel for you, Noel. The last three years have been the hardest of my life. I didn't think I could face one more thing.....and then came the heart attack and quadruple surgery. I wanted God to let me die. In fact I actually asked him to let me die. I'm a little embarrassed to say that..... but it's true. I have found that I am stronger than I thought I was and that God knew what I could take and couldn't and thank God he didn't listen to me! You have been through a lot and I pray that all the people here sending you good thoughts and prayers will give you the courage and strength to keep on keeping on. You are stronger than you think. I found that out and I believe you will too. God bless you and give you strength.
