H-1 N-1

[HUDSON]

I was about to ask the same thing damn near word for word.. Sick, sore throat, cough, mucas and sinus headaches that would put a horse down..

Its been almost two weeks but no fever... Do I have this shit or not? WTF

No...Fever is the main key to this swine crap from what the doctor said. It keeps coming and going. You think you're fine after no fever for 2 days and then the f*cker comes back! My son's kept coming and going for 8-9 days. Never got over 102..stayed between 99-101. He had a very bad cough as well. School wouldn't let him back till he was fever free for full 48 hours.

I have the H1N1 now along with all 3 of my kids. My 6 yr old brought it home from school. He had a high fever for 5 days and today we took him back to the doc and he has pneumonia. the other 2 are still running fever and a helluva cough. I have only run fever one day but the doctor diagnosed me without a fever and said that it was not a prerequisite. Horrible aches and horrible cough.

As far as the flu shots, my whole family got the normal flu shot but the kids can't get the H1N1 flu vaccine because they are not a high risk group. I can't get the tamiflu because I am not high risk. My wife is on tamiflu because she is 30 wks pregnant but has not caught the flu yet.

this shit is a tad scary....particularly when you have asthma.....not horrible asthma..on and off...just started about a year ago..doesn`t stop me from working out...but you know it`s there when it`s "active"...

trying not to use an inhaler because that crap can compromise your immune system...

saw 60 minutes last night and watched that high school football player on the ventilator.....
