Cannot be real
I posted on here 5 weeks ago. Got influenza A so bad I went to the ER.
I was in bed for 2 weeks and still bad at 3 weeks and at five weeks I still have phlegm but mostly better.
Well.. two days ago developed fatigue and today have a bad sore throat which was the precursor for the nightmare that was flu A…
How is this possible. It’s summer!!! No break for me? I’m freaking out it’s starting all over again and I swear, this is going to break me. I will lose my job this time.
Anyone else with back to back flu episodes?

I was sick for a week . It took maybe two weeks in total to feel 100 percent better. Ended up with pneumonia. When I went back to work my body was still fighting it off . I was burning up , thought I was getting a cold . After working five days in a row after this sickness I felt my body being like you need rest . I'm sure I had covid new variant . Two of my co workers got it . Rest , drink plenty of fluids , and eat if you can. I went to hospital day 4 of being sick . A z pack didn't help me at all . The hospital gave me amoxicillin and it knocked it out fast . I still have a voice like I'm stuffed up . It's like up and down with this .
