My roommate just got tested for the Swine Flu that has been going around. She has been diagnosed as "probable" for having it..... Her symptoms started yesterday.
Last week on Wednesday is where I started getting sick. I figured it was just a regular flu. Well, if it turns out that she has the H1N1 variation, I'm the likely person to have spread it to her.....
Fucking fantastic. And instead of getting a doctors note for deferrals of my exams, I chose to study for them and fail.....

well i think swine flu is just a newer virus but honestly, just as many people die from normal flu every year, its just blown out of proportion by the media.
if a flu kills 10,000 people each year for a decade no one cares. some new flue comes and kill 10,000, everyone freak. |

Eat KIMCHI it'll save you!
But all jokes aside, I had the flu (no idea if it was swine flu or not) but my immune system destroyed it and I seem to be okay now. Haven't showered for 3 days, but I'm better at least. |

Normal flu kills 41,000 people a year in the U.S. alone. Swine flu has killed 6k world wide. I'm not too concerned about it wiping out any populations. On the downside however my roomate is getting the flu which means i probably will which means life is going to suck  |

I have swine flu, and it's a giant pain in the ass, but it really doesn't pose a threat of killing me.. at least, I think not. It's been diagnosed, and they said that my body is coping with it extremely well.
Advice: take vitamins - especially One A Days, for general health, and also a B complex (I prefer B-100). Eat your fruits and veggies... seriously, it's beatable. Get a lot of sleep, take Ibuprofen, etc. Good luck! All these things in combination really improve your chances of getting better quickly. |

| Flu medicine, lots of vitamin C and D, lots of sleep, and eat your normal 3 meals a day (even if you don't feel like eating), and your body should take care of it. Assuming you were originally healthy and active before. Should make it go away in about 3 days. |

| I heard if your fever is over 38 degrees Celsius, it's a swine flu. The symptoms are much worse as well. Many of my friends have it. |

Humans just have less of an immunity against swine flu. Since it's flu from pigs, humans haven't grown an immune system that's strong against it.
OP, drink a LOT of water, sleep, and vitamin C.Last edit: 2009-11-04 12:56:10 |

Edit - Because if she were hot I wouldn't care about getting the flu from her.
And go see a doctor, good man.Last edit: 2009-11-04 13:03:45 |
