I had it a couple months ago. I kept feeling better then bad again. Doctor said they call it roller coaster like symptoms and very normal for flu. I would imagine you'll be good in a couple more days. I think mine was about 8 days total.

Oh MY God!! I was just about to ask this question. I have also been sick since Thursday but my symptoms haven't improved even slightly. I haven't eaten any food since Thursday not even soup, my head doesn't hurt, but i feel lightheaded. I haven't had fever though, my temp is around 97.5

Did you get a flu shot ? Tamiflu works great if you catch it early.

Can confirm the flu sucks. I had it a few years back and it hit me so hard that I had my Mom drive me to the doc (in my 30s). Get rest, stay hydrated. Your heart rate is up because your body is fighting the virus.

Flu shots are just as bad as the Covid "vaccine."

I'm not putting a guess into my body.

It’s a completely different type of vaccine.

True, but I hear the same crap every year - "got the flu shot but I still got the flu, maybe it made it a milder case". shite just doesn't work, no sense messing with it. We haven't gotten the flu since we stopped getting the damn flu shots.

Eh. To each his own but if they get the strain correct for the season (that’s where there’s some definite nuance) it can lessen the severity.

I agree that on a good year, the flu shot is only about 30% effective. I only get one so I don’t have to wear a mask at work for 6 months. But it’s not the same as the COVID vaccine.

We had Covid in the house a few weeks back. Half of us tested negative for covid and the other half was positive.

I had a particularly bad case of flu in my late 40’s,thought I was going to die.I started taking flu shots every year until this year,I never got the flu again.
My sister is a RN as I am,she swears every year she has taken the flu shot she got the flu. I don’t know why to think about it,I’m pretty sure she’s telling the truth.I’ve had other people say the same.

I decided to skip it this year,I just don’t trust the MIC anymore.For all I know,they would make it with the MRNA technology and not disclose it.
I have a stash of ivermectin,I believe it would work for flu as well as it did when I got Covid.

I always get the flu shot. As explained to me by my doctor:
It’s like insurance. The flu shot doesn’t mean you won’t get the flu, there’s too many different strains each year. It means if you get the flu your symptoms won’t be as bad and there’s a less chance it turns to pneumonia and gets real bad.

Ivermectin, just as any other parasitic medication, does not do anything for the flu or COVID. It never has. Studies with small sample sizes showed possible effects in the beginning, but when the big studies came in they proved what everyone already knew: antiparasitic medications kill parasites, antivirals kill viruses.

It's no different really than going to mechanic and saying I need you to change my tire, and then asking that he do it with a screwdriver. If you happen to feel better when you have a virus after taking ivermectin, it's not because of the ivermectin, it's simply because the virus is going away. People probably did a thousand other things while they had a virus that also had no impact whatsoever on feeling better, just like ivermectin.

Ivermectin kills parasites. There's no reputable evidence that it does anything for viruses.

“ Ivermectin kills parasites.There’s no reputable evidence that it does anything for viruses”

Have you been living under a rock? There are studies showing the effectiveness of ivermectin.-American Journal of Therapeutics- April 22,2021-“evidence has emerged that the oral anti parasitic agent ivermectin exhibits numerous antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanisms with trial results reporting significant outcome benefits.”

Anecdotal-myself,stepson,dtr-in-law,grandson and granddaughter all took ivermectin at onset Covid symptoms and positive test,we were symptom free in 24 hours.
Dr.Mary Talley Bowden in Houston treated thousands of patients with ivermectin and only had 1 death.
Dr, Joseph Varon,medical director of an ICU in Houstonat the peak of Covid had mortality rate of 4% when other ICU’s were running 25%.He gave his pts, ivermectin among other things,His pts were very sick when they got to him.
He recieved an award from the city of Houston for his life-saving work.
There are other Drs.I could cite.
Japan stared using ivermectin on August 13,2021 and in 2 weeks their cases dropped by 99% from their peak.

Ivermectin is also being studied as chemotherapeutic agent in treatment of cancer and preliminary studies are showing a lot of promise.

In case you don’t believe a antiparasitic drug could be used as cancer treatment google levamisole.First developed as a sheep wormer it was approved by the FDA as a adjuvant treatment for colon cancer in 1990.

In case you haven’t figured it out,the reason the MIC fought so hard against ivermectin(and hydroxychloroquine) is because they were effective in the prevention and treatment of Covid.
With a viable treatment,they couldn’t have gotten the EUA for their shitty vaccine.
