trice125 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Has anyone else been really sick this winter/spring? I'm hoping not but then again if I'm not alone it might make me feel a little better. I first got the flu, then bronchitis, then pneumonia and now SHINGLES and of course my dysautonomia symptoms don't go away when I have other illnesses going on if anything they get worse.

Hope Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sorry to hear you have been so ill! I've actually felt better this spring than last spring so far. I live in a cooler climate though and cooler weather is kind to me. We are suppose to be in the 70's next week. We shall see if my luck holds out. I hope you are on the upswing soon!

HopeSprings Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 YES! Nothing as serious as yours, but I've also been sick with back to back stuff. My daughter had a little cold that took her 2 days to get over, then I got it really bad and was sick for 2 weeks. Just as I was getting better from that, she developed fifth disease and I guess I caught it because I started getting throat and gland pain. Within days of that, I started again with congestion and coughing and I'm still fighting symptoms. It's been almost a month and I'm still sick! Where's the immune system when you need it??

margiebee Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I had the flu in late February, full blown positive tested influenza. I have never had the actual flu before and I have to say I completely understand the hype around it now. I got a sinus infection from it because decongestants elevate my HR too much so I can't take them, and a secondary infection. It took me completely out for about 2 weeks, but luckily I recovered strong after that. Not sure if this works for everyone but when I'm ill I load up on (decaf) green tea, I was skeptical about it but it really does boost my immune function it seems!

azmusiclover Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have been sick almost every 2 weeks since Thanksgiving. Sinus stuff, stomach flu twice, once requiring hospitalization. My daughter has been sick too. She had a wicked case of strep along with the tummy bugs and the sinus stuff too. My middle boy had a couple rounds of it, but not too bad. Oldest boy barely got sick at all. Lucky him! I really really hope that as it gets hot here the germs will go away. Then I will just feel crappy from the heat! Feel better soon!

Psalm 23 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I had severe gastroenteritis back in February. I have never experienced anything like it before. Ended up in the ER for hydration and med for pain and nausea. Its so frustrating the way acute illnesses seem to have a lingering negative effect on POTS symptoms.
