The flu is goin' around--read

Do I have the flu if I've been feeling nauseous since Saturday last week? The nausea is like on and off but it gets kinda bad at night but I have no clue why I'm feeling this way..

Just thought this was funny and decided to throw this out there...

So, we were planning on getting the H1N1 shot. My BF called Kaiser earlier today and apparently they're only giving the shot to children ages of 6 months - 18 years old, or an adult that has an infant of 6 months or younger. So much for precaution.

Tiff, you'll know when you have the flu. I personally have never had it, but I don't think it causes nausea for a week without any other symptoms.

Hand sanitizer kills off a large quantity of bacteria, the ones that are left then have no competition for resources and your typical bacterial generation is 20 minutes or so. If you use the Hand Sanitizer you are making the resistant bacteria more likely to reproduce. Hence all you are doing is growing strong bacteria.

Welcome to how MRSA and other resistant diseases came about. They wouldn't be out like they are now if we didn't get so picky about how clean we make everything. We just keep giving them more and more room to reproduce in.

Curious if you could point me into the direction of where you saw that??

atleast kids you can talk them into it. now talking the older crowd into it would surely be much more of a challenge

I dunno... kids can be awfully stubborn, and incredibly forgetful! You could tell them something 1000 times, and they'll still play dumb the next time you remind them.

I had pnemonia all of august, sucked! I have barely been healthy a month and now have a nasty cold. But I always get sick when the season changes . My moms work developed cold-fx. the stuff does work. it doesnt cure anything rather it boosts your immune system and will make a cold or flu less harsh and make it go away quicker. If you are lucky enough and can tell you are about to get sick (slightly sore throat, tired etc) and take it it can prevent it from becoming a cold or flu. I have prevented it myself a few times with this stuff. Wasnt so lucky this time as I didnt have any around and by the tme I got to the store it was too late, I was sick. It is kinda expensive but you get what you pay for. I also find lots of garlic helps too.

It would probably have hit you by now... maybe it's just nerves, since you're so worried about getting sick?
