I just got over my bout with this nasty flu that's going around. I operated under the misinformed assumption at first that it would be a 24 hour bug,...cancelled my day, slept in. Woke up the next day feeling worse, operated under the assumption it's one of those 72 hour bugs.....cancelled the rest of my week, and slept in.
Weeks later, I'm coughing up stuff only God could recognize (and he's opt to do so from a great distance), and I spent 2 weeks on NyQuill, running a temp, hot & cold sweats (waking up freezing cold but my clothes would literally be stuck to my body soaking wet, and the sheets were soaked through, even my pillow where my neck rests.
One of the worse aspects of this as it progressed and got worse and worse (which it totally did!) was not being able to breathe. I have a compromised cardiopulmonary system to begin with (from having croup as a kid, chronic bronchitis, and several bouts of pneumonia,....this whole thing started before I was even old enough to be in school, and I had cardio and pulmonary problems ever since,....even asthma, although asymptomatic 95% of the time now).
.....(
deep breath,...now that I can take one).
Literally walking room to room, that's all, I'd be breathing so hard and harsh from this flu thing, out of breath worse than when I had pneumonia. That scared me more than all the other (multiple) symptoms.
Man, I sure hope you get over this quickly because whatever it is, it has worked its way through a great circle around me both at work and socially, and we've all been hit extremely hard. Hang in there dude....and REST. It is NOT worth the setback you'll get trying to push through anything.
