Slight sore throat and no more. They have everything - dizziness, throwing up etc... I would have thought taking immunosuppressant stuff would have suppressed my immune system and given me flu quicker and hit harder. That is most definitely not the case - this is second time I've weathered the storm on the flu. Does anyone have a medical explanation or idea of why ? Thanks - Stewart.
    I now have potential reason this has happened - it's the vitamin D 2000iu I take daily. Apparently D is good for fighting off and minimizing flu effects.This should probably be moved to the wellness section.

    I took care of the hub while he suffered with a really awful case of the flu a few years back. I take Vitamin d3 daily-- I know it kept me from getting sick. It's great stuff.
