Just wanted to jump in here for a sec. I’ve been dealing with this one hemorrhoid that was honestly killing me. Using ointment helps for a little bit, I guess, but then the pain just comes right back. What actually worked for me were those "Hemoroidin" capsules🙏 from Encijan—you can just grab them over the counter at any local CVS or Walgreens. If someone already mentioned this in the thread, sorry, I haven't read through everything yet.

Probably not, since I started out with just a cough and then an hour and a half later, I was stuck in bed with a 104 fever. It was brutal. And here I was, acting all tough and telling everyone I wouldn't catch the flu and didn't need the shot, but honestly? From now on, I'm getting vaccinated.👍
It'll be a week tomorrow since the flu hit me, and I still feel absolutely trashed. Even typing this is a struggle. I'm heading to see the doctor tomorrow to check if there's any lasting damage, because this cough is still killing me (I'd suggest doing some steam inhalation with chamomile tea; it really saved me from those choking fits🙏).

Thanks, I've got some homemade chicken soup at home too, and honestly, that's pretty much the only thing I'm eating besides tea.😉 I guess I'll survive. I’ve actually started daydreaming about what a normal life even looks like.

Man, this thing hit me on Tuesday and I literally just crawled out of bed today. I’ve never had a fever hit me this hard before—I was sitting at 102 for two nights straight, and it was such a struggle to get it down. I haven't slept basically at all for four days because this brutal dry cough keeps me up, and whenever I try to lie down, I feel like I can't breathe. I called my doctor yesterday and explained everything, and she told me it’s probably just sinus drainage dripping down into my windpipe when I lie flat. She suggested I drink at least three liters of tea a day to help with the congestion and hopefully stop the choking feeling. But last night, I only managed about two hours of sleep before that suffocating feeling came back. I ended up spending the whole night sitting up instead of lying down because it’s the only way I can actually catch my breath. It’s driving me absolutely craaaaazy.😲I just want to sleep, but it’s impossible. My appetite hasn't even come back yet; I can't even think about eating actual meals, I'm barely managing some fruit. I don't think I've ever felt this wiped out from the flu before. Are you guys dealing with all this too?
