Since the day after Christmas, I have been fighting a head/chest infection. Many of the over-the-counter remedies are not recommended for my use. What surefire way do you beat a cold? Let me know -- I'll try just about anything!
I tried everything to get over the flu as quickly as possible and nothing worked. I guess the best thing you can do is take steps to prevent the spread of it.
A get a little bit sick every single year, but it has been years since I have gotten really super-sick. This year, though -- right after I had a flu shot -- I was flat on my beck with the worst cold I have had in a very long time.
While everyone was worrying about Ebola in 2014, we forgot to worry about more important things... no not SARS, Bird-Flu, or H1N1... I'm talking about the normal, everyday, run of the mill, MUTATED FLU!
A couple of weeks ago, I commented on a Facebook topic on KIMA-TV's page regarding getting vaccinated for influenza. I was pretty cavalier, stating that I had NEVER gotten inoculated and have NEVER had the flu, relying only on my body's own natural defenses and immune system to help ward off sickness.
Unless you’ve been hiding out under the covers shivering, nursing a fever and clutching your achy bones, you probably know this has been a brutal flu season.
What you may not know is there are measures you can take to avoid the flu -- and most of them are pretty darned simple. So, what are they?
