He also said his arms were achy. But his biggest issue was his lungs. He is winded just going up steps. His oxygen has been hovering between 93 and 98 after breathing treatments. He does have asthma which has been controlled for years. We thought it was just a bad asthma flare after a soccer game on Sat because he said his lungs burned and he was very winded. We had to get him a nebulizer because he coughs so much he can’t inhale the meds from his inhaler without coughing it back out or getting it deep enough in his lungs.
So far the rest of us are ok. We got our shots 5 days before him, but he’s been vaccinated since Sept 25 so the doctor said he should have been covered since it had been past two weeks.
Poor kid. I hope he starts feeling better soon.
DDs and I got our flu vax in late September. Several local people/family commented that they thought we got it too soon since here in NY flu peaks in Feb/Mar, but I said nope, flu will probably hit every region sooner than usual given no flu last year and back to normal behaviors this year.
Mom to two amazing DDs ('07 & '09) and a fur baby.
Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
