Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / January 2004Good news / bad news
The good news is that the current version of the flu appears to be a stomach flu and has not impacted my asthma (so far). The bad news is - I have the flu. "It's not American foreign policy, or the plight of the Palestinians, or America's longstanding support for Israel. A group of people with money and weaponry have simply decided that we, as a civilization, are unfit to live, and want, eventally, to exterminate us."

Gene Spafford 1992 Well you better be getting better as I would miss seeing your messages! Lurker, here. Michelle Did you get your flu shot or is the stomach flu different from regular flu? . >Subject: Re: Good news / bad news >From: Colin Campbell activated_95b@earthlink.net(remove underscore) > stomach flu I would appreciate knowing how the doctor knew it was the stomach flu as this is a new wrinkle that I have never heard of. >>Subject: Re: Good news / bad news >>From: Colin Campbell activated_95b@earthlink.net(remove underscore) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >knew it was the stomach flu as this is >a new wrinkle that I have never heard of. I suspect it may not have been the flu. Was only really bad for about 36 hours and now I feel like I am completely over it. Not sure what it is but it appears contagious as all get out.

I had the Flu over Xmas (after having the flu shot in October) - I took my Mom (80) to the ER Xmas day - She had the Flu (after having the Flu shot). When we got back home, I went to bed with great malaise, fever, and cough. The next day (26th) I went to the ER as I had blood in my sputum (sign of bronchititis and 102 fever. Prescribed a Z Pac cause of my asthma and COPD. Still have a slight lingering cough but I am doing much better. Tim Back in San Francisco in the 1940's, as children, my brothers and I and sometmes our parents got the flu regularly. Seems like every winter. Always the stomach flu. Mama, who had lived through the great epidemic of 1918, used to give two bits of advice: influenza can be much more serious than you think. And don't get up and go out just because you are feeling better. She said many people had died of a "relapse" |
