@laura34. I was on the big 3 for 18 months ending in October. I have had slight burning sensation in different parts of my lungs off and on since then but have been healthy otherwise EXCEPT for a bad case of Inflenza A from March 1 to April 15....I tested positive for flu, not yet tested for Covid. This was the worse flu I have ever had. Has anyone on this forum had the flu this year? We simply shouldn’t get sick as it was really hard to get it out of my lungs.....and I was weakened beyond belief...muscularly and heavy coughing....bringing up tons of mucus.

@hydrang3a I am so sorry you had the flu. I am sure many of us live in daily fear of getting that and/or Covid19. Did you get the flu or pneumonia shot? irene5

@hydrang3a This past fall, I had a 5 day run of a very bad headache, which I rarely get. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my usual meds and they asked me if I wanted to get a flu shot. I noticed that they asked every single person that. I should have said 'no' because headaches for me usuallyindicate something more is going on. I rarely get them unless an illness is coming on. I wasn't thinking, and I said "sure, I'll get my flu shot". I get one every year without incident. But, this time, I came down with flu-like symptoms the very next day. I could not even move a muscle for three straight days without it causing extreme pain in my skull. I did not eat, drink or move those three days following that shot. Then, it took awhile to recover from it. I don't know what I had, but it was wicked.
