Everybody around me was ill either by the flu, a cold or a combination of that. I got an ant-flu shot in 2014 (sounds cool huh?) BUT there's fluttering another virus around that was not included in the flu shot. (I'm a high risk person so that's why I get the shot)

ALL afternoon I was heaving the chills, even my electric blanket couldn't get me warm: I temperature with an ear temp and nothing ordinairy, but I FELT I was getting a fever. So I found the butt one :P and it appears the old fashion way of temperaturing is more accurate. A little fever. Which I expect to raise in the evening. I'm not taking paracetamol want to get a clear view.

I'm not coughing, sneezing etc. just headache, fever and my body aches and that dizzy feeling that gets worse the higher your temp gets!

*smirk* would this be my New Years present, the flu?

Not that I'm going to dramatise it. Just.... I GOT THE ANTI-FLU SHOT?!?!

Sorry that you seem to be coming down with the flu. Unfortunately the shot doesn't seem to be working as well as it should have this year. If you do develop a fever make sure that you go to your doctor or the ER for a swab to confirm that it is the flu and so they can prescribe you the Tamiflu because you are high risk. I hope you get to feeling better.

Well, maybe having the flu will take your mind off smoking....

Get well, Evelyn!

 

Stupid enough it doesn't, makes me mad and craving for a smoke!

Going to for the pill in injection form today at my housedoc, so I can ask! So far it still lingers and doesn't pull through full blown but I feel worse then last afternoon and have to cycle to the practice.

Thanks all of you for watching over me so well! I promise to drink enough water / tea and eat at least some toast or a sandwich

Sorry I missed this, so glad you're on the mend Evelyn. Our house have all had this and it sucks doesn't it! I don't know what's worse the pounding head or the temperature whizzing up and down ever five minutes.

 

Sleep it off, if you can my lovely xx

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
