anyone gotten swine flu while vaping? - Page 3 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

My son had the flu last week. Vomit, runs, coughing, sore throat. He missed 4-1/2 days of school. My wife had been coughing, swollen glands, sinus problems (she's never been a smoker) the past couple of days. She's been pretty miserable.
I've been doing pretty good myself. I had slight sore muscles, slight sinus problems, tight chest... but nothing severe. Mine lasted about 3 days. I did not get symptoms nearly as bad as them, not even close. I was fairly impressed, usually I get just as sick, or worse when they catch something.
Intriguing.... perhaps thanks to my vaping, my symptoms where so much milder?
I have no other explanation why I didn't get as ill as they did. Perhaps just luck?

I will not be getting a swine flu shot!

Well no flu here yet but the first round of illness went through the office over the past two weeks and I always get something. Being a Supervisor I talk to everyone and touch papers etc... . Guess who did NOT get sick.

Now I will not credit this all to PG, the fact that I no longer smoke has a lot to do with it. Then again, PG IS the reason I don;t smoke so some credit is due.

Friday, September 25th, I had a real scratchy throat while at work. I thought it was the beginning of a sinus infection. The next day, it hit me like a ton of bricks! I am pretty sure it was H1N1. I was out of work all week long. Yesterday was the first day I felt like myself. My energy started to come back and I am going back to work tomorrow.

My daughter had the flu 2 weeks ago, my husband felt pretty crappy for at about the same time but we don't know if he had the flu. Me? I'm good!

I was so sick I didn't even want to vape!

EVERYONE I mean everyone is sick as swine, snotty nosed bastages! No seriously I work with the public and have had snotboxed brats cough and sneeze in my face, co workers breathing in my face etc.

Thank god for a huge bottle of purell, vaping and cutting down on smoking (bastages at work are stressing me out too bad and with the loss of a battery I was at smoke or kill stage.) and burning my candle at both ends. I am prime to get the ills, or so I thought. Loaded up and made chicken soup, downing ptb green tea faster than I can make it... Just tired as hell from working 10-14 hour days. Thank god vacation starts tomorrow and I get to miss all sorts of fun at the hellhole.

I've been pretty sick with a flu for two days. Don't know if it's swine or not, either way it's a flu and it sucks. Fever, everything aches, my skin hurts, coughing, headache and I'm exhausted. I slept for 14 hours yesterday. Today I went to work for 4 hours and then came home to sleep another 6. Everything tastes awful, including vaping so I'm not vaping right now. That's a good thing because this suck even more if I was going through analog withdrawls and trying to drag myself outside for a fix!
