anyone gotten swine flu while vaping?

[siggywiggy]

Just curious....it would sure be an interesting coincidence it NO ONE here got swine flu since the only thing we have in common is our vaping (which I've read MAY kill viruses).

Looking forward to your responses!

My kids, ages 6 & 8, have been sick for the past week with classic flu-like symptoms, and I'm pretty sure it's swine flu. I have Bronchiectasis (mucus plugs in my bronchial tubes) and I usually catch every single thing they bring home from school and end up with pneumonia shortly thereafter. So far so good this time!

On a somewhat related note, I go back for another CT scan in December to check on the progression of my lung disorder. It will be interesting to see if vaping has had any positive or negative effects on it. My last CT scan was done in August, about 2 weeks after switching from a pack a day of analogs to the ecig. I know I certainly feel better now compared to when I was smoking!

The idea that PG protects against flu started here:

Medicine: Air Germicide - TIME

Wow....so far that's some VERY interesting circumstantial evidence! Jennifer, I look forward to an update on your lungs.

That Time article is what made me wonder...

I have a fairly good memory on what I've read ("It's a blessing.... and a curse" Monk) and a good search ability evidently. The topic isn't new to ECF...

I can't find the meaning of curse" Monk i am lost

I think he's quoting the tv show "Monk", which stars a detective with obsessive compulsive disorder and an incredible memory.

wikipedia:
A curse (also called execration) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or unhappiness will befall another person or persons.

curse = maldición

Monk:
Monk TV Series, Detective Monk Television Show - USA Network

I'm sick right now... Don't know if its swine flu. Seems like a pretty standard flu.

I will say this though. Vaping while sick is approximately 8 million times better than smoking while sick.

That's right and it was joke. Not saying I'm Monk, although the obsessive compulsive might fit wrt ecigs ;-) In that sense there's a lot of 'Monks' around this place. lol

I am actually going to the doctor tomorrow because I have been having slight flu like symptoms, so I will post back to let everyone know. Only reason I am actually going to the doctor though is because I won't have another day off work for the next 2 weeks so I figure I'd go early and knock it out IF it actually is the flu. It could just be the fact that I've been working an avg of 80 hours per week plus taking 18 credit hours in college.

I hear stress can cause similar symptoms.... oh and not to mention the stress of waiting for my new protege/TW liquids/Nhaler liquids to arrive

so you better stay out of the forum I don't want my PC infected with S.flu

It's something Monk says when he's complimented for his memory, etc., although he always says it as a 'cliche' without meaning it. Lol.

No problem. I have Bronchiectasis and as of yet, the doctors don't know why. I've had a ton of tests done which all came out negative. The doctor requested a cystic fibrosis test, but the insurance company won't pay for it. Stingy HMO! The bronchiectasis was found because I have had repeated pneumonia infections (twice this year plus more in the past) which never completely resolved on xrays. This condition isn't always related to smoking, as more non-smokers have it than smokers. I'm 36 and smoked for 17 years.

Is anyone getting the swine flu shot? I have read pros and cons on this particular vaccine.
