I don't get sick often. In fact, I can be without the flu for a whole year and then get it twice only the next year. When I do get the flu, it's no joke, though... people fall like flies around me and ask how I was able to work in that condition.
I sorta felt it coming for a few days, then on Monday it was bad. So bad I retreated home from work at noon. I slept about 4 hours and a half in the afternoon and went back to bed to catch another 8 hours of sleep before going back to work.
Tuesday was a bit better. Today, 3rd day, I have been o.k., but coughing a bit more often, yet not even half as bad as the last time I was sick.
The real point here is to share how much easier my airways have been feeling compared to when I had the flu and still smoked:
-The congestion feels so much better. I have not been blowing my nose till my nostrils bleed and every blow got the real stuff out to the point I can still breathe through my nose most of the time.
-I have not been coughing to the point I feel like my brain is going to come out of the top, and it's been straight to the phlegm rather than all that milky stuff first.
-I have not been so out of breath I thought they'd have to put me on a respirator.
-I still feel bad and my whole body ached during the first day and I did feel like I was freezing bad, but day 2 presented almost none of these symptoms.
In essence, I don't sound like I'm a soldier in the 17th century that's about to die from dysentery and do not feel like it, despite the fact that I can definitely tell I am sick. I once again feel I can breathe so much better than I did when I smoked the stinkies. I haven't even finished a single tissue box in 3 days and my nose is not yet white from dry achy skin! The biggest plus is I can still vape my favorite flavor, although I do take shorter draws and vaped half as much. The second plus is menthol juice! Where can I get real cough drop e-juice? I can't say my black cherry tab juice is interfering with the real cough drops, though
I also just found out this minute that, even after 6 months of exclusive vaping, I did see a little of that brown stuff come out again. Hopefully this will be a cleansing experience as well.
Anyone else have a "positive" experience with the flu thanks to vaping?
