Got Swine Flu?

[CountArach]

If its the person I think we're talking about, there is nothing I despise more.

I have a feeling it might be. The one who has appeared on my facebook status about a thousand times in the last week?

Are you trying to make me dislike you?

This is a challenge for me now

Yeah, ok we're on the same page. Massive hate.

But theres a backstory.


And then the added feature that I just don't like the show.

This is a challenge?

As in you're trying or trying not to?

Quick, lets make all your friends think I look up to you.

Tell me when this swine flu starts killing more people then the regular flu every year.

lol, I am not worried about it killing me, personally I think that the whole thing is blown out of proportion. It still stinks to have it though.

I think I had it few weeks ago, I am never sick but felt pretty bad for a week. I wish you a good recovery, it's no fun at all I really felt bad, as if my legs just couldn't carry me anymore, so very weak it was pretty scary.

Thanks Frag. That is about how I felt too. I needed to call my bro over to help me do basic things like help me lift myself off my bed. Every joint in my body has been killing me too.

Indeed, my girls have already been vaccinated. I decided against it, so that it frees up supply for some other kid. I'm healthy, and obsessive compulsive about washing my hands, so my chances of getting it, aren't really terribly high... *knock on wood*

lol Wakizashi, I would not get the vaccine either, as something with such limited testing could be just as bad or worse, but don't think that being healthy and washing will save you. I have been trying to get back in shape and eat right so I can continue testing up in Taekwondo, and I keep myself very clean, but several people at my Uni caught it, and now I have it. The chances of it killing you are less than regular flu though, so I would not worry about it. All it will do is make you feel like trash for a week or so. :P

[Fragony]

Didn't get it either, I am not that panicky. Just eat a lot of fruit, drink lots of tea, no alchohol, and you will be fine.

Fixed.

Supposedly not..

Swine Flu is completed overrated. I wish grown men and women stopped being complete wussies over it, especially as far as going for Tamiflu.

Only people who need to be concerned are pensioners, young kids and people who are already ill and thus vulnerable. Everyone else should grow a thick skin.

There have been deaths in their thousands due to being misdiagnosed with Swine Flu, because of these wussies who cannot handle the sniffles. I also personally had two family members end up in critical state because they were ill with other thinks and the medics just insisted on fobbing them off with Tamiflu.

Not necessarily. We may be in for a smaller scale repeat of Spanish flu. Out (I think) 7 deaths in BC, 1 was was a healthy woman with nothing impeding her immune system. While I do agree that the media is as always, blowing it totally out of scale, mutations are always a risk factor.

[Strike For The South]

I had it. Didn't miss one thing I had planned.

Why?

Becuase I'm a man.

Tomorrow's news;

Mass outbreak of H1N1 in Texas.

So you're a Typhoid Mary? j/k

Test just came in. Confirmed. Swine Flu. :( He said that it was a 'classic' case (weakness, intense muscle spasms, joint pain, head aches, stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, high fever etc)

[HoreTore]

The flu is the only illness I ever get, and I have it almost every year. This year, I've had it twice, first in January, after the door got stuck at work and I was standing 8 hours without outdoor clothing at a temperature of around 2-3 degrees...

The second time was this summer, after a trip to Italy. That may have been the swine flu.

This friday, I had a headache, runny nose, weak body, red eyes and that sick feeling in my mouth. But I did not have a fever... All weekend I waited and waited, wishing that finally, for the first time in my life, I would get to stay home from work because I was sick, and also the general awesomeness of having the swine flu. But on sunday, I was much better, and today I just have some snot in my nose. It just isn't meant to be...

lol, when I walked into the room, the nurse told me "WOW, your eyes look REALLY sick!". I told her "Darn, I thought you were gonna say handsome!". Of course a coughing fit ruined any cuteness that might have went along with that. :P

[Fragony]

Good luck, it gets pretty painful. After a few days you will be alright again.

[Mooks]

weakness, intense muscle spasms, joint pain, head aches, stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, high fever etc

Wow....that sucks.

[Fragony]

Wow....that sucks.

It does. I probably had it a few weeks ago, don't think I had it as badly as Vuk, had no trouble doing my stuff but it was really painful. You will truly feel terrible for a while, after a few days it wears down, you will feel weak for a while. But you'll live.

[Vuk]

YES! Now I got my whole drrned family sick with it!

[Fragony]

yikes Vuk, that sucks. Get kiwi's, lots of them. No the fruit.

[Vuk]

yikes Vuk, that sucks. Get kiwi's, lots of them. No the fruit.

Yeah, my sorry repayment for letting me stay at the house and waiting on me hand and foot when I was too tired to move. I don't know why they put up with me. :P

[pevergreen]

Neither do we....

[miotas]

I just ate bacon, so I'm probably gonna have it by tommorow.

Funny story; the school cop decided to drop by and give our class a speech about seat belts. The next day 5 people were out for swine flu

Thanks for getting my thread sent to the backroom.

I just got the H1N1 vaccine this past week. Ordinarily I wouldn't be too worried, but in a University on the quarters system, I'm not taking any chances.

There is too much noise about that. In an ordinary flu, people also die. The difference is that the media do not pay much attention on it. So don't worry, be happy!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

People all around me are sick, there is even something like epidemic of AH1N1 in Bulgaria but I really see little point in anti-flu vaccine. I hope I am lucky enough to survive.

P.S. Mutantions can be a risky factor but be an optimist. So far we have been lucky.

[Vuk]

The brother of a friend of mine at school just died from it. That is the third death around here. I don't think any other UW schools have had deaths yet. What the heck type of luck is that for us?!

[A Very Super Market]

The various types of "common" influenza floating around limit themselves to the elderly, young, or otherwise immunologically impeded when it comes to actual deaths.

But as of now, it's blowing over. Good times for all.
