Well the thing with H1N1 is that its symptoms are similar to that of a regular flu (aches, fever, nusea, etc..) so it is hard to tell whether you have a normal flu or the new H1N1 flu. I hope you get better!

As for everyone else, make sure you wash your hands frequently when going out. If you think you have a flu and the symptoms continue to progress, make sure you guys STAY HOME! Don't go out and spread that shit, call your doctor and tell him you think you may have the swine flu. From there they can send someone to your house and do whatever it is that they do.

Sorry if your friends has had it and die but that is very rare that people die of it.

And the vaccine is just around the corner..

lol when i got home from work i had the most dificult workdays of my life. i bet that me and my co-worker had atleast 100 people showing up everyday...

Dont be scared of the flu, it's harmful for those with a heart disfunction, babies or very old people

get well(=

btw Warren i was making a joke, i thought it was on the line...

[Warren 1st MRB]

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

i hope my teachers dont get it cause then that would push classes farther into summer time noooooooo

[Litzau]

i got tested today ill know next week wensday/thursday.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Either way, it sucks that you are sick. I don't think you really need to worry about whether its H1N1 or not, just rest and get feeling better.

[Vandagriff 1st MRB]

Yea, I caught the flu a couple weeks back as some may remember, but I don't think it was the swine flu as it came and went in a couple of days. But I think part of that is because I went to the doctor once I immediately started noticing the symptoms.

I never get flu vaccines, and I've never gotten the flu.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

i got the flu but no med insurance so i cant find out if it's swine flu or not, ive been trying to break my fever for three days and its still at 100 F, i have no idea what that is celsius u crazy canadians. that fact alone makes me think that it may be the swine flu, as well as the cough that i don't normaly have this bad with a flu

[Lehman 1st MRB]

yeah you should probably go to the doctor anyway before you have multiple systems failure or something

Does your throat hurt? If so, its probably bronchitis. Even if it isn't, drink more fluids, get some rest, have a couple of Tylenol. You'll get better, trust me. If you had gotten sick before this swine flu bullshit a over-mediacized (I may have just made that word) would you have thought "OH GOD SUPER SARS! OR AIDS! BIRD FLU!"? Probably not. Sorry, I'm not trying to pick on you, but every damn person with a cough and a fever does not have swine flu.

This sort of crap happens every year, with the diseases I mentioned, other than AIDS. Its just that this one popped up more near to home. The world isn't going to be destroyed by a over-publicized version of the flu. But it probably eventually will by kneejerk sensationalist reporters.

Myers makes a point by saying not everyone has the SWINEflu just becaus of coughing.. Were moving towards winter and right into the season of the flu. Though if you feel symptoms (gonna have to say that bronchitis is not very common with the swine flu. when you got the swineflu its more of a "dry" cough instead of sputum from the lungs.

if you got the symptoms check with a doctor. If not leave it its a tiny tiny tiny chance that you have it even though you dont have all the symptoms.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Not to mention, if you do have it, there is an EVEN smaller chance that it is anything to worry about.

[Litzau]

well i wasnt worried about it from the start i know its just the media hyping it.i got my results today im postive for swine flu but i get to go back to school friday since all my symptoms are pretty much gone.
