@sarahlynn1960 I contracted the flu approximately a year ago this month after being around too many teens who were sick and were still coming to school. I had no clue is the flu until I went to my PCP and the test came back positive for Flu A. My PCP knows my complete history about the NTM and bronchiectasis. In order for me to get some rest due to the coughing I was prescribed one small bottle of Robitussin with codeine. He and I both know that I am supposed to cough up the mucus and this was only to be used before bedtime in order to get some rest. I used it sparingly for about four days to get over the hump. I was pushing lots of caffeine free fluids. I am 77 now. It took me approximately three weeks to get well. When I finally was able to get out and about outdoors and visited with people my age at outdoor sporting events we compared notes on how the Flu A affected us. This winter I started wearing my mask earlier and have done minimal indoor events. So far so good. I don’t care if people look at me strangely in Texas that I wear a mask.

Just noticed on my post something about wearing a mask in Texas. NO CLUE where that came from😂

@notnancy88
Hubs and I were just talking about whether you could still get cough meds with codeine. It used to work great. Did u change anything else?
(Ps never mind on my Texas mask comment. 😜)
