Just in case my absence in posting and commenting the last week or so has been noticed......
I had a pretty rough week.... Last Sunday or so I started feeling under the weather last Saturday night/Sunday Morning.

Nothing big, Just achy, low grade fever.. Sunday Night cough added in.

Went to my doctor Monday morning to nip it in the bud Tested Negative for Covid and the Flu..... Did not feel any better Tuesday... Felt a little worse Wednesday, back to my doctor. Tested negative again for Covid and the Flu. Added More meds.

Things got continually worse during the day on Wednesday. By Wednesday Evening I was riding in the back of a Hillsborough County Ambulance on the way to the ER.......

Turns out I had BOTH Influenza A and Influenza B.... and Pneumonia had started in... Basically I was having what on my discharge papers was called acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Initially they were going to move me to ICU pretty quickly. And ICU doctors had been down to see me in the ER a couple of times. ( I got bumped from my ER bed by someone that needed it worse) So I was in the ER about 18 hours. By then my condition had improved to the point I did not need ICU so they sent me to a Critical Care Unit where they could isolate me as I was contagious.....

Another little twist... I have an auto immune disorder in which my immune system attacks my blood platelets as if they were a virus..... That condition has been stable for a couple of years without having any treatment or medication for the disorder....
However, with two viruses and the pneumonia kicking in, my immune system started in hard on my platelets as well..... They crashed but are coming back up.
Anyway.... Things are much improved all around and I got discharged from the hospital today.
Fun Times

Mr Johnnybandit, glad you are doing better.

My wife also has ITP. We are battling her platelet count continuously. We found that Papaya leaf tea has a very good effect on her count. Our GP doctor, who is a family friend, mother also has the disorder. He had her start on the tea when nothing else was working (even the shot failed). Miraculously her count began to rise. She is going strong two years later now.

Just thought that you might need to try it sometime.

Best of luck and good health always. Ken
