I may have H1N1... This sucks... waiting for test results. They come in friday... Wish me luck guys.

Ben

Man, that really sucks! I'm so sorry :[[

I hope you feel better, hopefully you don't have H1N1.

I haven't been feeling too well myself, just kinda on and off nausea. Hopefully it's nothing bad though, but I hope you feel better, and hope it isn't H1N1.

Oh man, seriously good luck. Keep warm, don't do any strenuous activities, and drink lots of liquids! Hopefully it's just the regular flu and nothing to worry about.

Get well soon!

Isn't the risk of H1N1 only really to kids and elders? Even immuno-compromised people?

I thought this flu was just like any other to healthy people.

Am I wrong?

I hope the results come back clear none the less, and you feel better ASAP.

so this means you're, like, going to turn into a pig? Are you going to have to move to a farm? Or does this only affect you during the full moon or something?

:P

In all seriousness, get better. Being sick sucks, but luckily from what I've heard H1N1 is not as bad as the "regular" flu.

This is what they used to think, but there has just recently been a death to a healthy person.

Of course, I think only one has been found. I would still exercise as much caution as possible. Get your immunization if you haven't already.

Good luck to you! Be strong and fight back!! If only we could fight illness like we have with HR669. . . . . .

Thanks for that info! I wasn't aware that someone had passed in good health due to this flu.

Washing hands and being as clean as possible right now is on top of my list as well should be on everybody elses.

Im not gettin the shot though.

Nobodies getting the shot, there just aren't enough to go around. Around here you can't even get a regular flu shot. I got one, but only because I got it over a month ago.

Thousands of people die every year because of the flu, h1n1 is just another variety.

I've herd that as well. They had some other type of shot for pregnant women or something like that, but not for the general public.

Either way, I don't want it.

Nobody? At all? 0? :rolleyes:

Well, it is difficult, but there will be more. We are getting here, but I have connections. I really don't think it's entirely necessary, but it can't hurt right. I'd rather have a 75% chance than 76% of getting the flu.

Or end up getting the flue from the shot like I've HEARD.

Is the vaccine a killed virus? Live? Modified live?

With all the publicity, I'm actually kind of surprised that I haven't heard about any scammers yet. Last year around here there was a woman arrested for giving bogus flu shots. She just walk onto a college campus and set up a sign offering flu shots for $20.00 each. Some student got suspicious and reported her. When they caught her they found out that she was giving them saline injections. Nothing harmful, but certainly no good against the flu.

That is the problem. It's live, and most hospitals here don't want it. But KDHE has signed off that it is not a problem being a live virus, and it will help. Don't be afraid of live virus's, they are there to help your body build immunity.

But I can also understand why poeple would rather not have any live virus shot into thier body. There is almost a double negative their huh?

All 3 of my kids had it during the spring, when it first came out in the US before they stopped calling it swine :colbert:, honestly...I've seen them worse with "regular" flu and take longer to recover, it wasn't that big of a deal.

Sorry you're not feeling well, but if it is H1N1, it'll be over quickly. There's a couple bad days but the rest of it is pretty mild.

Ok, feel free to call me a conspiracy theorist if you wish, but its not a "theory" if there is proof, and there is, keep that in mind when reading my following post.


H1n1....Is not as dangerous as the "Government" is making it seem. Don't take my word for it, research it from reliable sources. The H1n1 flu is really no different from a normal flu on all basic levels. People are "drinking the coolaid" wayy to easily. Fear of this flu is silly, look at it, sit back for a second, and then laugh.

You may want to research this as well, speculations are that since the vaccination is not being produced properly and is shorted, the government will use this as a plan to controll mass populations. I'm not going to go into the vast amount of details of this statement, this is a herp forum.

I merely wanted to point out that your fear of this "regular" flu, is exactly what they want. Good job, you ARE the horses being led to the water to drink. Only in this case, the water is poison'ed.

Uh. That's a little extreme. ^ I'm not scared of it, or locking myself in my house to avoid catching anything. I still don't want the flu, H1N1 or not. Even if the flu never killed anyone, I still wouldn't want it.

Getting the flu vaccination does not mean your scared, it just sucks having the flu. I haven't had it after getting the vaccine. Why change? Of course, some people have the opposite reaction to the vaccine and it makes them sick. That would stink, and I wouldn't want it either.

Really H1N1 is nothing more than the regular Flu just a new mutated version.

I dont see what all of the massive worries over it is, so far I think it was 800 people have died. However 39,000 people died from the regular flu last year. From what I have heard from reading, eventually over 75% of the country will have H1N1 however not even 25% of those 75% will even show symptoms.

Just take it easy, rest, drink fluids and relax.

I too don't think the H1N1 is any more of a killer than the other flu viruses like said above.

What I DO think is that the government likes to blow things like this out of proportion to draw out attention away from something else going on or something they're doing.

my 4 year old neice and 2 year old nephew just had it and recovered fine my grandparents then got it both over 60 and recovered from it and my mother in law just got over it last week. Ive had the flu once when I was 16 but ive never gotten a flu shot. I dont really see the point in it.

Yeah, the only difference is H1N1 spreads faster, and as said before it does seem to be attracted to the elderly, and children (or people with low immune systems). Actually health officials have discouraged people from coming to the hospital unless symptoms are severe, because so many people are overreacting.

I think it is just the way the gov't announces things. People have a tendency to overreact, it seems to be one of our less flattering advanced emotions. :)

people overreacting???? .......NO lol!

Ill never forget being 16 and working at the grocery store and the news say its g oing to snow. Poeple would be lined down the rows with milk, bread, and eggs. Like they were never going to see them again. I never really understood that. I mean we are in south carolina we dont snow storms when it snows it usually melts shortly after lol

Hope you don't have the H1N1 virus! Feel better!

As for the conversation about the actual virus... I didn't read most of posts, just skimmed through them. I do share the opinion that it's nothing far worse than the regular flu. And I think it's stupid how the media is blowing it up.

There are some people that really need to worry about it though. My BF has been fighting a cold for probly a good month now, and because of that his immune system is terribly weak. Along with fighting this cold, he's had extremely bad allergies, and asthma. In his case, I do believe it would be best if he got the shot just in case. I would rather him get a shot for free, than get even sicker than he has been. (FYI: He's in the paving business, and since it's still warm outside right now, they're still in the middle of the busy season. He's been working 15+ hour days, and that's why this cold hasn't really come down.)

In some cases, yes I believe that people really do need to worry about it. In most cases, they don't though. This thing with Kaiser Permanente putting dumb restrictions on the shots is beyond stupid imo. Most of the people that are qualified to get the shot won't get it.

I've moved all of the Political talk to the Quarantine Room where it belongs.

Man that sucks, I hate this virus. Good luck to you, slam down some Vitamin C.
