Im getting scared...

I went to see my doctor yesterday and she she found an ulcer in the back of my throat which is bad because it still means my immune system is very compromised and weak. She basically told me to stay home as much as possible with all the flu stuff going around. She said she doesnt think my immune system is strong enough to fight the swine flu because of all the antibiotics to fight the staph i got from DD's birth, it killed my immune system. Im really scared that i will get the swine flu now and the worst will happen.

My PG SIL has the swine flu now as i found out last night. She is 16 weeks.
Sorry, just needed to vent a little.

I've been taking a wellness formula and drinking those DanActive immunity shot drinks to help boost my immune system as well. I hope it's enough.

I am a firm believer in positive thinking. Try not to focus on the what ifs, and just take it one step at a time.

Re: Im getting scared...

Are you a sahm?

I think you should def try to limit your group settings and exposure to the public and crowds right now. It will take a few mths to get your immune system back on track.

I def think you should look into taking vitamins/probiotics to get things going. But you need to be extra vigilant about handwashing, exposure to crowds, etc.

Dont go to crowded stores, go on off times, use hand sanitizer, wash hands alot, etc. There isnt much else you can do and even if it seems a bit overboard, you have to be extra vigilant right now. It will pass in time, you have been through ALOT. Chat Icon

I would also gargle with warm water and salt on a daily basis. Supposedly this may help reduce flu risks, whether it's true or not, can't hurt. I think you do have to be very careful. Go shopping early in the am, when no one is out yet, etc. Use a paper towel to open doorknobs when out, anything at all that can cut your risks are worth it.Chat Icon In time your body will heal, in time.

This is coming from someone who was immunocompromised in the past, so I speak from experience.
