I'm in France, and still battling what sounds liek the same thing!

I thought I just had a bad flu, for about two weeks, then it got better.
But then had a relapse, even worse.
I tend to use home remedies and rest, but during the second bout, I could no longer sleep because I was hackign all night, and had so much trouble breathing during the day, so I went to the doctor.
My entire family was so sick at that point, it was horrible!
I was put on antibiotics and anti inflammatories for ten days, with no difference. Then we tried another antibiotic and it seemed to help, I got better.
But after a few days of feeling normal again, I am relapsing, starting with the sinus.
My husband is in the medical field and doctors are telling him there is an epidemic, and relapses are common. Doctors are being flooded with patients.

There has been no chemtrails, and I have a bakery in which I give people bread wit my hands, so have hand disinfectant on my counter that I use between each client- probably hundreds of times a day- and it apparently made no difference in keeping me from catching this.

Much of our village has it right now.

i might be wrong but i bet one common thing amongst everyone with this virus is that you all got the flushot am i right ? i know i didnt get it
could be the chemtrails , but they have been spraying for years, you would think this would of happend sooner.

If its a virus, antibiotics wont work. If its bacrteial then they should but there is still NO guarantee. Snus infections have been rampant here in the UK too, i've had congestion on and off for months. I am on Naso-Nex, a steriodal spray to help it but it doesnt clear it. Dr says take it for a month and report back if it aint helped. I'm due to go back so i'm going to ask for antibiotics to see if tat will help, if not i'll get an appointment with the ENT specialist.

People passing out because of congestion is a strange one, congestion is usually in the Ear canals or sinus', if you have a blocked nose people tend to breathe through the mouth, why didnt these people do that?

If they did then its not the congestion thats making them pass out, its the lack of ability for the lungs to transfer oxygen to the blood stream so its more likely to be something lung orientated i.e. Pnuemonia, COPD, Asthma etc.

OP, keep us up-to-date with the results.

edit to add: Not had a flu shot before

Bronchial inflammation (bronchitis) and pleuritis. both of which can result from influenza, are known to cause hypoventilation and passing out. Not commonly, but it can/does happen.

I also find it a bit funny that people are babbling on about taking this antibiotic or that antibiotic, all while being certain the sickness is caused by a virus. So many self-proclaimed "experts" in this forum, and only one person so far has pointed out that antibiotics don't have anything to do with viral infections.

Here in Des Moines Iowa - same thing running rampant. Now my husband and I have it. We have not passed out but for the last week and a half I am up coughing all night, even after taking NyQuil which usually knocks me out. Also have had sinus problems, but I have never had allergies so its not that. Ive been scrubbing everything down with bleach to kill the germs.

Bronchitis and Pleuritis are conditions of the lungs and airways leading to and in the lungs, i thought the OP ws reffering to 'normal' congestion of sinus'. The passing out from hypoventiliation would surely be caused by the lack of oxygen going to the brain? No?

Perhaps this was already covered, but antibiotics will NOT work on Viral infections. If the virus weakened the body enough, then a bacteria has the propensity to infect the host.
I was recently and briefly assigned to a central Indiana hospital in regards to the care of a 32 year old patient that has H1N1. This patient was unconscious and attached to a ventilator. Their respiratory secretions continued to be remarkable even after xopenex aerosol therapy. The patients core body temperature was 105 and a cooling blanket was initiated, lowering the temperature down to 103. The temperature was refractory to NSAIDS and IV steroid therapy. All IV antiviral medications were refractory to this strain of H1N1. This unfortunate patients prognosis is dismal at best.

Central Europe here. I had a sore throat a week and a half ago, which then turned into both bronchitis and sinusitis with over 39 C fewers. Amoxicillin, along with lots of teas with honey, loads of squeezed lemon juice and garlic (honey, garlic and lemon, in insane quantities - my reccomended remedy for any infection) seems to got rid of it (altrough some occasional but heavy dry cough attacks are still there, and doesnt want to go away), so it probably wasnt the superbug, or viral infection.
This year flu and illness season was not so hard than some previous ones over here as far as I know, no flu epidemics, or superbugs, and with the weather finally getting more warm, I hope its slowly coming to an end.

I have never had a flu shot, so no, that is not it. I refuse to get one of those things.

I live in Portland, OR and have been totally sick for well over a week now. Cough and sore throat as some others have mentioned, but the WEIRD thing is that my temp has been running 94 degrees F (I usually run right at 98.6 or so) I'm still feel really crappy and am heading into day ten. My temp is 95.9 now so hopefully I'm coming out of it but now my son is running the 94F too. I've never heard of having what is essentially hypothermia with the flu...??

i hope it will not be porpular

well i guess the fates decided i needed to know first hand what i was talking about because this cough landed me in the hospital last night apparently my heart didnt like it either
