DD and DH have flu virus thing, what are my chances of NOT getting it.

[singyswife]

I have felt a 'bit off' for over a week, keep getting headaches and dizzy spells but it has never really came to anything. Both dd and dh have it and are quite ill with dd throwing up, what are my chances of not getting it. Mums cant be ill there is too much to do.

I'm in the same position as you! Last night I was convinced I was going to be ill as I felt like I was going to faint, my shoulders and joints ached too. I drank loads of wine and wore thick pj's to bed and sweated it out I think as I feel pretty much ok. I might have a bath later and do the same again! My DH has got it for the 2nd time and my DS (5 months) looks to be coming down with it too. I hope you don't get it!

My dh had it on boxing day but yesterday he got up and was 100%, today he is ill again. My SIL and my dn both have it bad and my brother has been really sick. I am eating loads of fruit and veg, taking multivitamins and drinking loads of oj. Hope it works. Hope you dont get it.

Anyone been in a similar situation and not got it.

DH, DD, my Mum, my Dad, MIL, FIL, SIL, BILs, DB, DNx2 all had it.

I didn't. Felt weird and dizzy for a bit. Ached intermittently but came to nowt.

hate to break it to you dd1 came down with temp on 17th and got worse on 18th she wasnt any better till a week later then got bad tummy(if you know wht imean) dd2 then came down with temp and bad tummy a few days later ds only hadbad tummy. dh came down with flu sympyoms bleeding nose bad tummy both ends two days b4 crimbo and is only just feeling slightly better dd2 has no come down with temp and runny nose, as has ds, and baby dd3 has had whole lot i woke up with sore thoat and pounding headache so looks like nobody is safe

Thanks for the replies, I was glad of snows answer but then paniced at the other one. I keep feeling 'dodgy' but then it goes away and comes to nothing. Guess I will just have to wait and see. I had a really heavy fluey cold thing at the beginning of October so I am hoping that was it for me.

Mine had it and I got some first defence - the nasal spray and the hand mousse as I was doing xmas for many and couldn't be ill!

It worked

I was also v careful not to touch my eyes as this is the main way you catch things

I had my hand on the gel in Morrisons earlier but I couldnt see the spray. Might go tot he chemist in the morning and get some/.

I keep having days where I feel "off", with slight sore throat, loss of appetite and nearly runny nose. Then it fades away and I am OK again.

The virtual rest of my family (apart from DH) and all my work colleagues have been off sick with summat .

I am just waiting to get struck down now I am officially on annual leave. If its gonna happen, I wish it would bloody hurry up

Yeah I am the same now that the kids are off for another week I keep waiting for it to strike me too.

all dc apart from ds2 seemed to be cleared of the flu and temp now hubby says he feeling much better just a bit non-motivated and slight headache

moi and dd3 till got dodgy tums

so looking better

I'm ill today, shivery last night, aching all over etc.. I came down early to give the boys breakfast then got up again 2ish and ds1 helped me do tacos for him and ds2. They wolfed down peppers, tomatoes and the tacos so that'll help their immune system, lots of vit c
I eat well so hope this won't last. At least I can stand the computer brightness although am going back up now.
Hope you all feel better soon x

DP and DS both had it recently but it didn't even touch me. Might have had something to do with me having a flu jab ;)

mmm yes the flu jab didnt think to get mine - spose its not to late to book appt

before xmas i had my ds3 come down with croup followed a week later by the tummy bug[bad!!] then a week later my dd1 came down with flu..my parents arrived xmas eve with my dad ill with the flu xmas day and yesterday my dh has come down with the flu....so far[touch wood] ive caught nothing but am very active and outside a lot plus eat healthily with a daily vit c and zinc supplement..fingers crossed

i will keep my fingers crossed too.

Did anyone from this thread end up getting it. I was up in the night battling not to be sick and when I got up this morning I had a really sore head and was super dizzy and really tired and I thought, Oh No, but as the day wore on it eased off and I now feel nearly normal. Is that it??? Have I had it???? TIme will tell.

Have been od'ing on Multivitamins (incl zinc and iron) and oj. Also have been eating tons of oranges, celery, cucumber, peas, broccoli etc. Hope it works.

dh bad with it again but not me dd2 had temp for two days and an unatural amount of snot !!dh had s&d sleeping and sweating all day been given rehydration powders by doc...
