Flu

Have you guys ever being so vulnerable to flu? Unfortunately, it’s like I’m the number one target for this terrible decease. When I was a child, I had problems with breathing. My respiration problems were so big, that it was going to turn into asthma. After I moved near to the coast, I had a lot of time to swim and this was like a magical cure to my breathing problems. According to an article I read long time ago, swimming is good for people with respiratory issues. I’ve swam so much that, I can hold my breath up to 1 ½ minute. However I still being likely to flu, and these last days haven’t being so good since I had sore throat and some flu. I hope nobody get flu because it’s very uncomfortable.

I sometimes get the flu, too. I'm definitely vulnerable to respiratory problems. I used to get bronchitis once or twice a year. Then, I started to get allergy shots, which helped quite a bit. Two years ago, I mysteriously developed asthma. What a nightmare! I suffered from asthma for about 10 months.

One day, I went to a gastroenterologist for acid reflux. He performed an "endoscopy" and told me that I had candida in my esophagus. I took some antifungal medication and went on a sugar-free diet for a while. Sure enough, my asthma went away!

I'm not sure, but...it's possible that the acid reflux and the candida were causing the asthma. I'm not really sure.

Anyway, that's cool that swimming was so therapeutic for you. It's really amazing, actually. Has the asthma gone away?

As for the flu...that's another thing that's no fun. I do sometimes get it and I hate it! Let's hope that it's a flu-free winter for many of us!
