My OH is the one with health problems and I think that because the wife got hers then, and they really don't know what RH is really about, the nurse suggested that I should have it!
I had a Quince (severe tonsilitis!) In my late twenties and it took three months of full strength antibiotics for it to clear up, the first day I collapsed with a high fever and I couldn't get out of bed for nearly a week, not that I was aware of anything, my doctor came to me, (wouldn't happen now!) I had three weeks off work and I was continually vomiting from both ends. I was having coolish baths every day. Couldn't eat for about ten days, just some diahorlite to keep my salts up. Plenty of water and so on.
I had a flu about twenty years ago just before I retired the first time, it layed me out over a couple of days.
I would have to say that if it had been five years later, it probably would have seen me off.
My grandson was in hospital for three days last week and is still recovering and needs more investigations when he is better.
Don't take flu lightly. I struggle to keep my blood glucose levels in normal range when I'm not well.
Stay safe.
"It's the carbs." For me those words should be written in giant letters. Since going low carb and losing over 25 kilos, I have been in remission. But any carbs above 50-60g a day send the scales spinning upwards. I love cheese biscuits and bread and succumb occasionally, repenting at leisure over the following week as I crawl back down to my previous levels. I need about 1000 calories a day and limited carbs. But on that I have greatly improved health and quality of life, far better than ten years ago, despite advancing age. (But yes, I do miss the wine, bread, biscuits etc. If only....)
