The longest bout of 'flu that I know of was an old aunt of my late OH and she had winter influenza that lasted six months !!

One of my sons had attacks of measles five times and was always being  "off colour" until aged 24 years old when he had his tonsils out and living measles virus was detected by the pathology department.  He never suffered measles again.

Coincidentally I've just skipped over a newspaper headline that suggested if a person had an ancient DNA then they were susceptible to certain virus.

Post Covid Syndrome (Long Covid), a similar syndrome also occurs with some Influenza and Sepsis cases ...

One Medical Report suggested that certain DNA might be more prone.

My blood family have lost one last year (fully vaccinated flu, C-19 & boosted); have three seriously unwell (two with serious long term pain and related issues and one unable to communicate).

The last time I was sent by GP Surgery to A & E, I also mentioned my family and the Nurse kindly replied ... Two of my family died too.

My Dad's (90 yrs fully vaccinated and boosted) his sore throat and mucus had not fully cleared after over two months, when I went down with it.

Rana, I only wish my Influenza in January 2020 resolved successfully. The flu went, but it was followed by a body inflammatory rash taking 2 years to calm and had complications ever since.

I've been on a specialised diet for several years to calm the inflammation naturally and provide all the high nutrient demands for the GI system and my body.

The next Consultant will be the third.

Added:
We will try and let you know if they find the record of my late relative a Private, who left the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry at Bodmin, Cornwall in 1936, according to a DCLI letter we have (which provided quite a bit of the information required to complete the online Form questions).

2nd Add.
We have emailed photographs of the full DCLI letter and a later War Medal box (WW2) and explained that he worked in a Coventry factory during WW2 and assisted in recovery of Casualties on the infamous 1940 Blitz night. The box includes his name, address and a reference number on the outside and sent from Infantry Barracks, Exeter, Devon.

3rd Add
1936 DCLI letter has no Service Number, but confirms 6 & 1/2 years service.
