Title: My 13 year old died on Sunday.
Post by: jwb on December 14, 2022, 01:11:49 PM
From the influenza A virus.

They weren’t vaxed for Covid or flu either.

They were type one diabetic though, and every virus they ever caught had taken longer and longer to recover from compared to the last one.

thanks Matt.

The more reading I do the more it seems the diabetes may not have been totally to blame. There are article after article out there of kids with zero apparent issues dying within three days of contracting influenza. There have been 6 kids in British Columbia just this flu season.

They equate it more to the Spanish flu response in 1918 where most who died were young and healthy and their body mounted TOO strong a defense to the H1N1 influenza virus.

It’s not a hall of sensitivity or comfort, it’s a remnant of 30 people who have posted here through out the heyday. There are occasionally serious topics, where we treat others with respect.

If someone is taking time to post while suffering through their life trauma, without being an attention whore, at least have an ounce of decency and skip the thread.

If you feel better or find humor in Pamith’s post cool. I think Johnny Falcon was out of like with his comments. That doesn’t mean I’m right.

Shizzo took crap on here when his parents passed, and deservedly so because Shizzo has a tendency to be self indulgent, but ultimately no one really wished him further suffering when it was deemed he was telling the truth.

The OP took flak for the “they” and “female” comments and quickly addressed the issues.

If you think everything is fair game to ridicule I get it; this is Getbig after all, feel free to call other out but don’t object when we oppose someone for being an asshole.

Why do you write like you do ? Because you want to.  Me because I can & I choose to.
You can clearly read & understand no problems.

It is the Death of a young Girl & she wasn't on Getbig.

Likewise my daughter at 2yrs of age - so yes I took it personally & thought despicable.

I'm sure P Smith can answer for himself.

I think people here are always skeptical of someone posting anything that borders on normal.
There have been so many clowns on here in the past that people are conditioned to not believe something rather than take it as truth.

Posting about the death of a daughter isnt really something that has happened before (at least not while I have been here) so people are going to be suspicious.

I posted about his use of the word "female", its an odd thing to say about a daughter, that said guy is obviously in shock about whats happened so its likely in those circumstances nothing can be deemed odd

Delete this. It’s not appropriate.

I know this your gimmick but F off.

This is a timeout offense dude.
I mean posting this serious stuff on a random internet board with anonymous posters you will have to expect some trollposting regardless what subject

ontopic sorry about your loss couldn't imagine losing my kids

It’s not a hall of sensitivity or comfort, it’s a remnant of 30 people who have posted here through out the heyday. There are occasionally serious topics, where

we treat others with respect.

If someone is taking time to post while suffering through their life trauma, without being an attention whore, at least have an ounce of decency and skip the thread.

If you feel better or find humor in Pamith’s post cool. I think Johnny Falcon was out of like with his comments. That doesn’t mean I’m right.

Shizzo took crap on here when his parents passed, and deservedly so because Shizzo has a tendency to be self indulgent, but ultimately no one really wished him further suffering when it was deemed he was telling the truth.

The OP took flak for the “they” and “female” comments and quickly addressed the issues.

If you think everything is fair game to ridicule I get it; this is Getbig after all, feel free to call other out but don’t object when we oppose someone for being an asshole.

Brutal if true? Is that what everyone is upset about… that doesn’t bother me at all.

I don’t post here often anymore guys and only checked getbig once in a while after I became a parent but I am 51 years old and have been on the site since 1997 believe it or not.

I was here before the whole forum got erased one year in the early 2000’s.

I was interested in the bodybuilding gossip and never really got into the underbelly of getbig etc and drifted out of it.

However, there are some people here who I have PMed over the years that I like as people and wanted to share my situation with.

Hell, even people like Coach, who I rarely agree about anything on outside of bodybuilding stuff, is a person I still liked interacting with and I always enjoyed his stories about his son when he was young and how he was excelling at baseball etc and I hoped to be a parent one day which finally happened at age 38… shit, even lately I have been asking Coach to get a CAC score done on his heart just in case he has any heart disease.

I even used getbig to announce the death of an Australian bodybuilder from the 90s only the elders would know about but many people PMed me thanking me for announcing it since they loved the guy and had lost touch with him (he was the most likable person I ever knew in bodybuilding and maybe even general life… RIP Adrian Chronis).

My wife and I are really in a bad place right now and I am rambling as you can see but this thread has helped me a little this week as I knew it would so thanks to everyone and have a great Olympia weekend I just purchased the live stream.

Everyone deals with loss and grief differently. If posting on Getbig helps get you through a difficult time, post and ramble on as much as you like. Enjoy the Olympia live stream. It should be interesting.

From the influenza A virus.

They weren’t vaxed for Covid or flu either.

They were type one diabetic though, and every virus they ever caught had taken longer and longer to recover from compared to the last one.


Sorry.   That’s terrible.  Hope you ca. find peace in time.

You need To come off the anti depressants. I mean it. It’s not an attack on you but I can sense they’re
 affecting you negatively

At least Im not looking at joists in my garage and thinking the worst
I was in a deep hole for a couple of years.
Now with the medication I can at least function
Sure, I look at things differently, I dont have the downs (not syndrome)and I also dont have the ups either
My life is a straight line.

That’s very tough, my friend.

I didn’t realise you were that suicidal. Do you reckon juice and other PEDs have something to do with it or is it genetic? As in a dopamine deficiency? Do you think you’ll stay on them? Anyone I know who used lexapro went off the rails but probably because they stayed taking drugs and Other benzos like Xanax etc

I had simple kidney stone surgery that went wrong causing a bleed, I almost died, three hour surgery to stop the bleeding and three weeks in hospital.
Heavy blood loss is linked to depression (hence post natal depression after childbirth)

I have always been pretty nonplussed about people in general and dont really form strong bonds with them.
I dont really miss people if they die or tend to be that bothered.
There is only my wife that is important to me.

Im doing ok still above ground and training, all be it not like back in the day. Gather your strength for the upcoming holidays and Christmas, no doubt its going to be a very tough period for you and the wife. Hang in there, and stay strong for each other.Get in the gym and take time to walk, never under estimate the power of routine and exercise and its ability to help you take focus off what must be excruciating pain.Hang in there.
