This was definitely news to me. At first, I thought I was being pranked. Not much info out there at the moment, other than he went to the hospital this morning for a severe illness and the family announced that he would not be racing in any event this weekend.

Dang, way too young. RIP brother.

    He asked over the radio weekend before last for a doctor to meet him at his bus after the race. I’m thinkin’ he had something going on then. Sad. Just won a truck race less than a week ago.

    Sad for sure.

    My wife saw an article that said he had a bad sinus infection.

    41, what a shame. :'(

    I saw something else that said he had double pneumonia. Who knows, maybe he had both?! Guess we’ll find out eventually.

    Don’t quote me on this because I didn’t read it on the interwebs, my buddy heard a local sports show on the radio,that he had been coughing up blood earlier in the week. I didn’t hear the show,I’m only reporting what a friend said.

    From what I've read he'd been feeling ill prior, but didn't do anything about it.

    Also read where he on May 10 while racing at aWatkins Glenn, he requested the Hendrix motor team doctor to give him a shot for his sinus infection.

    So yes he was sick for a bit.

    Good advice. I had pneumonia last fall and didn’t know it until I saw a PA for strong cough medicine and she didn’t like the sound of my lungs. After the course of antibiotics she checked me out and told me that she nearly sent me to the hospital. Take care of yourselves.

    I have been prone to have sinus infections throughout my life.

    I read a "real life story" in 2016 by an Atlanta journalist regarding the benefits of taking probiotic supplements when taking antibiotics. The article identified Florastor Probiotic Supplement as the one of that period that is best for taking when you have an infection. Florastor is a yeast-based probiotic. Many other probiotics are bacteria-based and their effectiveness can be diminished by antibiotics.

    I started taking the Florastor Probiotic after reading the article.

    Common sense Sepsis description from the article
    Sepsis is the body’s overreaction to infection. “The body has an army to fight infection, the immune system,” the article said. In sepsis, the body starts suffering friendly fire. Instead of shooting bullets at a bacteria or virus, the army is throwing hand grenades and lobbing mortars that damage the body itself.”

    It becomes septic shock when blood pressure becomes dangerously low.

    If you feel like you are the sickest you’ve ever been and have confusion or delirium, you should get to an emergency room as fast as you can.

    The chance of surviving sepsis drops about 8 percent for every hour you are untreated. to survive.

    https://specials.myajc.com/fixing-to-die/
    When Glenn Frey passed away in January 2016 from complications of colitis and pneumonia, it sparked widespread national media coverage regarding the severity of bowel infections, colitis, and subsequent septic shock.

    When Doug Monroe published his personal survival story just a month later in February 2016, local health advocates and media outlets frequently cited both men together as prominent examples of how rapidly severe colon infections and sepsis can compromise a patient's life. However, within the actual text of Monroe's piece, he focuses strictly on his own medical timeline and his 30% survival rate at Piedmont Hospital. The AJC article no longer has a reference to Glenn Frey as it did when published.

    Ivan, I have used those, and every known device known to man. I have a narrow nasal passage on the left side of my face that seems to avoid any method of rinsing. It is usually where my infections start.

    My left ear also has a problem of wax accumulation that requires a visit to the ENT about every 4-5 months for wax removal using a forceps.
