Flu jab

Might get one this year (normally get one offered due to my mild asthma).
Got over covid, then long covid (at least 7 months, although not 100% by any stretch) then now gave my second heavy cold in around 6 weeks (and this one has floored me).
Tested neg for covid as have the kids who all had this (live apart but regularly see them).

Almost fainting when I cough…really rough one this.
Had a second chew of me and thought I'd recovered. Slept like a hedgehog this last week and lethargic beyond words. Caught it circa 18th October and even felt well enough to reschedule our holidays .. then shazam-shazar becoming a paid up member of the Narcoleptic club.

Sorry to hear that mate.
It’s a royal pita this virus.

Hope you mend up soon.
 
Had my flu and booster at same appointment one in each arm a couple of weeks a ago. No symptoms or even a sore arm.
 
Had my first ever too on Saturday after getting a text from my doctor's. Hadn't been registered with a practice for a long time so missed out on a few years since I was eligible. They also decided I should have my blood pressure checked seeing as that hadn't been done in a while also and I'm presuming it wasn't that great a result as they triple checked it.
They usually do it three times and average the readings, which can vary. They’d have said if it was a concern and offered you medication. Don’t worry.
 
My wife and I had our first ever flu jabs this morning. I was speaking to the doctor yesterday about an unrelated issue. He said at our age (wife is 56, I'm 60), if we get flu and Covid together, it could bring serious trouble. He wouldn't want us to "cark it".

Ninety per cent and fair to middling, managing a 90 minute walk this morning and the same again tonight. Been off the ale for a week and tried to eat healthy topping up with concoctions of multi vit, vit C, 3000c D and more paracetamol. The machine they lent for pulse and sat shows better so I'm definatley top side once more. It drops a lot of folk good style so I feel I got off lightly plus as a bonus a whole new army of anti bodies to guard the domain.

Anyway jollies shortly and the best medicine a man can get with real vitimin C, Meditereanian cuisine and the fruit of the vine. Hoozah!
