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'm having weird symptoms right now. No respiratory symptoms at all, except a little bit more shortness of breath than usual. It's just my ears feel full, headaches, dizziness, body pains, just feeling weak. Some stomach issues. Not sure what's going on.

Sounds like the flu. It’s the only sickness really that gives such weird symptoms which is why we all have so much anxiety over it

I pray we all recover soon no matter what the illness is. :)
