Take your daily high strength Vitamin D people, it really does help, and if you do have a bug black seed oil capsules daily will help you quickly get rid of it.
Definitely nothing to do with the Virus **We Shut The Whole World Down For** causing lasting changes to everyone’s immune system.
At this point most people know someone with health problems that cropped up after the pandemic.
I’m 12 days into this fucking beast right now and I’m still not right. Interestingly enough, before this I’d not been actually ill since I last got COVID back in 2022. Was pretty ill twice with that which was horrible, but the upshot is it must have turbo-boosted my immunie system for three years.
I dunno if it was this I had, but just over a week ago I was hit with a chill I just couldn’t deal with, then a blinding sore head, then I was too hot.
But then by Monday apart from a runny nose I felt fine. Maybe it was just a bad cold so there’s still time for me to get this. It has not been a good year for me and getting random colds.
Already heard the moronic comments from friends, family and colleagues. “Oh I’m young…I don’t get sick from the flu…I got the jab and still had the flu…it is a conspiracy…the health effects”. So none of them got a flu vaccine when offered.
Flu will spread faster to vulnerable populations due to low vaccine update – its costs ÂŁ15 in boots so spare me the “oh it costs, should be free on the nhs”. Vaccines mean reduced infection period; less admissions to hospital; essentially less cost. You’d think people would have learned to understand exponentials when covid emerged.
Add in the piss poor hand hygiene and cough etiquette.
No wonder there’s a surge
Wash your hands and don’t cough on people.
I have not been ill at all since last Christmas, where I got the flu for the first time I think. It was an absolutely appalling experience and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. So since I have been pretty illness-free all year I am almost guaranteed to get this again this Christmas.
I remember it started off like a pretty mild cold. I was on my way back from somewhere and I was waiting on the absolutely frigid train platform in Livingston when it started to ramp up. By the time I was off the train and back home I started to legitimately worry I had Sepsis or something, I felt so awful.
Followed by fever, weird hallucinatory intense dreams, drenching my bed in sweat for two nights, couldn’t really move my head, hurt to breathe outside…and then a cough that only tailed off come February. Absolutely grim.
Will be avoiding if possible!
Few people in my work floored with it at the moment, seems to be a brutal one, even the ‘always come to work to avoid my wife’ cunts are taking time off.
I had it a couple of weeks ago. Missed a full week of work and even the next week was still feeling just sore and rundown.
Chest still isn’t 100% but that could be down getting an elbow to the chest at one gig then going a bit hard in the pit a week later at another hahaha
I had flu last year despite always getting my flu jab. I was very ill for two weeks then it worsened and I was hospitalised with double pneumonia. I had severe levels of infection apparently. All I remember is being on a drip and being pumped full of antibiotics intravenously which in turn gave me terrible diarrhoea. Which was nice.
I was so weak afterwards that I had to use a wheelchair and it took six months of recovery to get back to normal.
My GP said to me afterwards and I quote “we didn’t think we’d see you alive again”.
Yeah, so flu. It’s serious.
Had my Jag about October, if this has made the flu ‘a bit milder’ the rest of you are fecked. Bursting headache, chest is rattling. The stomach pains are a new treat
I had to get the flu jag (and covid) privately this year. My dad has COPD and was only offered the flu jab on the NHS, and my diabetic mum is still waiting for her letter!
The pharmacist who did both my jags says they’re seeing more people than ever to receive them privately since [the criteria was changed](https://www.publications.scot.nhs.uk/files/cmo-2025-15.pdf), now we’re seeing the starting effects of that, I guess :/
I had this a couple of weeks back and it was brutal, I was outright bedridden for a few days during the worst of it.
Mask up, especially on the bus and in shops.
I am having it I think, but I also think I got it from my son’s live flu vaccine. We were told he could be contagious at the start and sure enough, 24 hours later I started showing symptoms.
Hopefully it doesn’t get worse than it is now (please don’t say “famous last words”)
