It’s 2013, and none of us were killed off by the Mayan Apocalypse (fingers crossed). But we’re not through the woods yet – there’s something far more threatening than a potential doomsday looming upon us: the flu.
Unless you’ve been hiding out under the covers shivering, nursing a fever and clutching your achy bones, you probably know this has been a brutal flu season.
What you may not know is there are measures you can take to avoid the flu -- and most of them are pretty darned simple. So, what are they?
Hopefully the nasty bug going around hasn't gotten you. I'm hittin' my vitamin C like a crazy woman.
The flu has NEVER been fun. Especially as a grown up. While you're trying to nurse yourself back to health, all you're thinking about is how much you're going to have to catch up on at work
In case you missed it this morning, the CDC says flu season is off to its earliest start in nearly a decade. And, the primary strain that's going around is making people sicker than other types. Aaaaand (more good news), this is the same strain that made so many people sick (some fatally so) in '03-'04
The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses often mimic each other's symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them.
I felt my cold coming and like a Mack truck there was nothing I could do to stop it !!!. I tried eating 3 kiwi's, emrgen-c, echinacea and nothing. I lost my voice!!! I can't have a normal conversation and I have been asked to keep quiet more times than I can count.
Scientists at Oxford University have successfully tested a flu vaccine that could work against all known strains of the illness, taking a significant step in the fight against a disease that affects billions of people each year.
