It's flu season and here in the UK there's a particularly bad one doing the rounds (H3N2). I'm diabetic as well as suffering from ME, and I have a medical history of childhood asthma and bronchial pneumonia. If I get this flu I'm going to be in serious trouble. I've had flu twice already before when I was healthy and it was bad enough then.
I'm housebound but I share a home with one other person, and if I'm going to get it I'm probably going to catch it from him. I ask him to wash his hands when he comes home but other than that there's not much else I can do to protect myself.
Anyone else worried about it like me? Have any of you with moderate/severe ME actually had this flu or one like it? What was your experience?
