Hack cough

Sorry for the blog silence, dear readers. Don and I managed to pick up a bout of the flu (yes, just the flu), and we've spent the last few days hacking and coughing and having our very scalps feel sore. On Saturday, I even went to bed at 6 pm (unheard of for me!) and stayed in bed for 12 full hours, having the weirdest collection of fever dreams imaginable.

More when we're back on our feet.

  2. So sorry yall don't feel good. Here's hoping you come through it feeling very rested afterward.
    Almost nobody is wearing masks these days and I'm getting weird looks for doing so. But I have asthma, and flu really can take a toll. It's going around, so, weird or not, thank you covid for this one and only thing.

  4. I've often thought that fever dreams would make a good sci-fi movie plot...just a suggestion! LOL!

  5. Hang in there. I’m dealing with the same thing, and I’ve been coughing since the week before Thanksgiving.

    1. I thought I was the only one! Youngest Grandson brought the gift to me, and I haven't shaken it yet.

  6. I had the same thing with lingering cough and shortness of breath. Blood work confirmed Covid antibodies. No big deal.

  7. If you have not heard of "Old Indian wild cherry bark syrup" you need to. you can buy it online at many places and IT works! FACT! at the first sign of a cold or flu take it as directed and one of two things will happen, the bug will either completely stop or your sickness will be very short and very mild. I have NO affiliation with this product in fact it worked so well for us My herbalist wife now makes our old replica of it and we have not been sick in YEARS.

  9. I also had fever dreams last night due to the same flu thing everyone else seems to have. In it, the chinese were using lawyers and accountants to steal bits of my land over and over. Maddening.

  10. Hopefully, you and Don will feel better soon. This whole autumn has been hard for me and my kids - the two-year-old especially. Between the four who are in school, I don't know if we've had more than a week where all four made it to school every day.

  11. Nebulizing food grade hydrogen peroxide in normal saline, sometimes with a drop of liquid iodine (such as Lugo’s) has been found by many holistic doctors to be very helpful for upper respiratory conditions such as colds, flu, bronchitis, and other viruses. Look up doctor Joseph Mercola, DO, and/or David Brownstein, MD for their information on nebulizing. The supplies are now part of our preps including a travel first aid kit.
